history
Agilis Design was founded in 2016 by two P&G veterans, who each had decade-long experience in finding and translating unique insight, brilliant idea and breakthrough technology into successful products.
In 2017 Agilis Design expanded its footprint to China. This expansion significantly enhances our capability and client access by positioning a ground team in the technology and manufacturing ecosystem in Shenzhen. While serving our current clientsbetter, we look forward to fully leveraging the sizeable opportunities of the Chinese market.
about
Agility
Go by the name Agilis, we respond to request quickly and we find ways through unchartered water without waiting. Learn and try is our daily practice.
Free thinking
Unlike the bigger agencies, our thinking process is not biased by KPI or profitability. We don’t care whether we can deliver a happy ending – which in many innovative attempts is simply not possible. We care whether the client can make the best-informed decision.
Uncredited work
We’re very experienced in, and willing to, work on early concepts that might not turn out to be a product on the market. Hence, we didn’t collect many design awards. Instead, many of our works silently turned into the foundation of a much bigger business plan, or an informed decision that an idea is most likely a dead end.
Designers build design prototypes
Our experience in early concept work, combined with our designer eyes, enable us to take on the most sophisticated prototyping requests.
partnership
