COMPANY MISSION
What Makes Us Vital
The core competencies at the heart of Straight Function Design Group LLC include market analysis, and innovation development via problem solving, feasibility studies, package design, and various mechanical solutions.
Our specialty is developing concepts as they relate to user interactions and then adapting this research to our materials science background for the perfect combination. Our design efforts focus on five main perspectives being Ergonomics, Safety, Efficiency, Technology, and Aesthetics.
In materials, our focus is toward composites like fiber glass, carbon fiber, laminated and bent ply woods, as well as polyurethanes. We have spent years working with these materials to understand their limitations and strengths to design for their uses. We consider ourselves at SFDG near limitless as we look at our experiences and our community’s as we grow in many ways.
These understandings and ability’s we utilize to create goods in house, we also avail to clients and partners! We assist our clients to validate and refine their crafty creations, custom products, and big ideas.
Custom is in our life blood and how we began, and it is something we will also continue to offer.
We are craters, tinkerers, out of the box thinkers, helpers, a second set of professional eyes, and actual helping hands. We love to help and create at Straight Function Design. So when you think of a fresh idea, when your organization desires that something special for an event, or are simply looking for somewhere to invest do not forget The STRAIGHT FUNCTION DESIGN GROUP!
Origin of Straight Function Design Group LLC
In relation to an idea or the concept, there is the structure, the bones and muscle including the heart, this is “Function.” There is seldom useful out come with out these critical parts. this is our foundation and our primary purpose is to generate applicable purposeful functionality.
We try to keep it simple at Straight Function Design Group. However design and engineering can become so complex, merging with art we can make the hair raising into a pleasant calm. Bare with us as we explain how we got here, and to do so we will superficially divide ourselves into our critical halves in order to explain our newly formed entity.
Straight Function Design Group, Our Name & Vessel.
We will use the right brain and left brain concept that most understand to illustrate our internal culture and how we embody our core values, DIRECTION, PRODUCTION, and CONVICTION.
Our left brain, the side known to be more Analytical, is our observational side.It sees problems most never knew existed in every day life.
Our right brain, the side known to be more creative, is our concept side. With this side we are able to deduce groundbreaking useful solutions.
We use both hemispheres in junction with experience across many fields together to generate the product development strategist organization we now know as, Straight Function Design Group LLC.
Direction.
“Straight”, like a confident spine. Straight, as in the element of art, the line, or a direction. Be this direction physical or conceptual straight will be our orientation to a sustainable, streamlined, and elegant evolution.
Straight is our aim to the link between the two sides of the brain. It is our nature and mission to utilize the two half’s as a hole and stream line our outcome and processes for innovation.
Production.
In relation to an idea or the concept, there is the structure, the bones and muscle including the heart, this is “Function.” There is seldom useful out come with out these critical parts. this is our foundation and our primary purpose is to generate applicable purposeful functionality.
Products that are developed consciously in good quality ave a greater likely hood of being utilized longer. Be that longevity through durability or desirability, this becomes a foundation for a critical goal - sustainability.
Conviction.
Then to see the passion and determination going into a well believed in, useful, and valued product you will find an Identity. This is the art, the location of originality. As in the brain and stomach this is the location of “Design”. It tells us when its right and signals deep in the gut tell us when it is wrong. Together they tell us to be passionate and push us through the efforts to make a masterpiece. One that we see is worthy of your attention and trade. This is the plight, the fight, the conviction of a designer, and this is who you see when you look at our work after the full Straight Function Design philosophy has been achieved.
With this being understood we conclude that It takes both sides of the brain to move a body or a group towards success. Towards a specific DIRECTION, with assured CONVICTION and to purposeful PRODUCTION.
What does the Straight Function Design aesthetic look like ?
In short, without giving away our trade secret , it is an amalgamation of functional aspects flared and embolden to the point of providing a second use, an enjoyable aesthetic. We aim that this will spawn an appreciation for added quality’s and function.
Product releases will tell. Until then, see our blog spaces for what we admire in this world deserving and thirsty for complex innovations in physical accommodation via technology, ergonomics, and sustainable design.
