Sarah Brand

Senior Product Designer

Sarah is originally from Georgia in America. Shortly after arriving in the UK, she joined D2M in the middle of the pandemic back in May 2020! Sarah started off as a middleweight product designer and soon progressed into a senior position.

Experience

Overall Sarah has 8 years experience in the product design industry including 1 and half years working at D2M. Sarah is a master at developing innovative baby toys and toy based products. In America, Sarah worked for a large, infant and toddler toy manufacturer so is very experienced in developing products for children. Her product design experience started off in toy design, dispensers and packaging but working with D2M has provided a much wider scope of projects including dental equipment, wheelchairs and pushchairs.

Biggest Project

The biggest project Sarah has worked on is the Baby Einstein Curiosity Table. It was the flagship toddler toy for the brand that season, and was voted one of the best Toddler Toys of 2018 by www.parents.com.

Sarah developed the table while creating a new visual brand language and was given a lot of creative freedom. Now her 1 year old niece has one and loves it, so it’s been a really rewarding project.

Most Enjoyable Part of Being A Product Designer

Sketching is her favourite part of the design process, as you can explore a lot of ideas quickly. With a bit of styling and colour, you can really bring someone’s vision come to life!

Interesting Fact

As a teenager, Sarah worked for years as a movie theatre projectionist. She had to build and breakdown film reels, and eventually saw the transition to digital for cinema.

What our clients say

Phil and D2M are the best at what they do and I would highly recommend working with them if you are looking for a product design company. From the beginning, Phil's passion and expertise came through when deciding on a partner.

D2M is a great company to work with and one we would recommend for any new product development. One quality we have been impressed with is their minimum viable product approach. Looking forward to working on our next project with them.

We engaged Phil and the D2M team to help us fabricate a prototype for our product on an extremely tight timeline. We would thoroughly recommend them to anyone who needs to take their product from idea to prototype!

D2M were and still are a massive help to me. They are full of knowledge of the industry and helped bring my idea to physical product. They re-designed, refined and have thoroughly tested my idea to create something that is functional, aesthetic and realistic to manufacture.

Genius Alert!!! Phil is one of the best start-up consultants you find out there. In contrast to all other start-up consultants you will encounter, Phil has first-hand experience of what it means to raise start-up funding, build the team and navigate the highs and lows of the start-ups.
