Who should work with them?
Early-stage startups to Fortune 100 companies seeking end-to-end product design and engineering solutions from concept to manufacturing across multiple industries.
Enterprise companies in consumer, technology, and healthcare sectors seeking end-to-end brand strategy, product design, and user-centered design expertise—including leaders like P&G, Nike, Bose, and HP.
Astro Studios, now part of PA Consulting, were the team behind some of the most iconic products from the late 90s to 2010s. Inside PA, their structured, corporate approach works well for businesses with big budgets and long timelines.
But if you want the same level of expertise with more flexibility, direct access to senior talent, and a low-risk, scalable engagement, Bang Design is the better choice. Our model is built for fast-moving innovation and new product development without the complexity of a bureaucratic organisation.
