About SGW Designworks

SGW Designworks was founded in 2008 by Tasche Streib, Ryan Gray, and Mike Witt. The three had worked together in the corporate world, on large development projects for a fortune 500 company, and realized that it was very difficult to find qualified businesses to help with development challenges ranging from product design to manufacturing planning.

Initially using a local coffee shop in Boise, Idaho as a primary office, the three founders worked hard to develop a reputation for insight in development, and integrity. In 2012, an SGW Designworks project was featured in The Lean Startup by Eric Ries, which was a NYT #1 Bestseller. This gave the business a boost, and word began to spread. The team started to grow steadily, and includes over twenty people.

The team is passionate about delivering world-class development capabilities with insight and a high level of integrity. The capabilities of the team have evolved greatly since 2008. In those days, projects primarily focused on the development of mechanisms, enclosures, and small machines for manufacturers.

Today SGW Designworks provides full product design and engineering to businesses of all sizes. This includes mechanical design, predictive analysis, embedded systems development, IoT and smart product development, cloud connectivity, manufacturing management, and more. Our unique engagemenet model ensures immedaite impact, and trust-driven relaitonships with our clients.

Development Principles

9

Uncertainty is Okay

Product Development is inherently risky. It is common for projects to start without full definition or specs. That’s okay – our team is adaptable and will learn with you

9

Lean Startup is The Way

The principles defined in The Lean Startup are at our core. A project of ours was featured in the book, and the concept of  rapid development cycles is part of who we are

Speed Matters

All product development projects include a time element. Often time is a key developmetn constraint, and we can taylor an approach that works for your timeline

“The team at SGW Designworks was able to identify and test multiple solutions to a complex development challenge in a short period of time, then carry those findings over to a full development effort. This had a real impact on the speed of our development project.”

CALVIN ALLEN, SENIOR PROGRAM MANAGER, MAJOR US MEDICAL DEVICE COMPANY

“SGW is an amazing company with the flexibility we require for innovation. They have also assisted us in developing our designs for a new innovative product that will be launched very soon in tactical operations. Thanks to the team at SGW.”

Jason Semple, Co-Owner, Advanced Accuracy Solutions

“Even though SGW Designworks is in Boise and the project was in Baltimore, I selected SGW because these guys are good and they know the molded foam process, the foundry process, instrumentation, and design of experiments. They are a really talented & creative group of engineers.”

Barry Ramsay, VP Operations, Lifoam Industries

“These guys get it. They are a rare blend of creative and technical talent. Honest, flexible, fun to work with and incredibly competent. As a designer, they make me look good, bringing my ideas to life through their insight and experience.”

Preston Lewis, Co-founder & CCO, BlackBox VR

“What I found valuable about working with SGW was their approach to development. In initial brain storming sessions, the team came together with me so that they could understand my goals and constraints. Then in a couple of weeks the team presented various options for development. As the project progressed, design review sessions were very helpful as a way to assure me that things were on track, and that the SGW team was there to help mitigate my anxiety as well as the risks of developing a new product.”

Tim Fulton, Founder, Ramper Innovations

“As the patent owner and inventor of the SiPsHitchTM system, I would like to congratulate SGW in achieving an amazing result which exceeded our expectations.

The thing that stood out the most and basically sealed the deal for us was the instant understanding of the product and how it would operate in our industry. I’m not sure if there is any product idea, concept or project that this team could not take on and achieve the same successes that I have experienced.”

Rod Gray, Director & VP, Aero Specialties
