Redfish has been working with Maverik Lacrosse since 2009. In this ever growing, fast paced sport, redfish has been working closely with the Maverick’s sponsored players, Maverik’s internal design team and with manufacturers to continue to push performance driven innovation within this highly regulated market.
Redfish had the opportunity to engage with ITT, an 11 billion dollar global company, in the development of the Interconnect Solutions Divisions first consumer product.ITT was developing the human interface component of an electric car charging system known as a “Coupler”. Initially the biggest challenge was considering the “Paradigm Shift” in consumer behavior. There is considerable legacy consumer behavior around the fossil fuel experience that could not be overlooked.We were able to engage with various consumer groups throughout the program to validate our assumptions and qualify ergonomic features.In this rapidly growing and competitive market we managed to design a single housing that could be used with three separate interconnection specifications US, Europe, and China.
Redfish was co-founded in 2009, merging user-centered design solutions with a strong understanding of applied anthropometrics (the knowledge of the human dimension applied to product development) and product semeiotics (the meaning behind the visual language of objects) tied to brand recognition, providing dynamic design leadership and delivering state of the art design solutions.
Redfish is a full service product development firm, committed to building loyal clients by developing identifiable opportunities for innovation that resonate with consumer needs. Close examination of user behaviors makes it possible to develop products that directly answer user needs. By observing and analyzing social patterns, Redfish achieves innovative solutions that tie the user emotionally to the product, and appeal to the user on a visceral level. Redfish achieves this goal by aligning all core constituents around a helical development team model, where design is used as the catalyst, transforming concepts into workable and profitable realities, thus designing high-impact strategic plans.
