The idea

For a designer, handing a design to a manufacturing partner is an act of trust — and trust doesn't travel through ads or search results. It travels through people: a colleague who's worked with us, a consultant who knows what we're good at, a friend who can say "talk to them, they're serious."

So instead of treating introductions as a happy accident, we treat them as how we'd actually like to grow.

Who we have in mind

People whose friends and clients make things. Designers and studios we've worked with. Consultants and agents who advise brands on product. Educators, curators and editors who get asked — more often than anyone realises — "do you know someone who could make this?"

How it works

You make the introduction. An email with both of us on it is enough — or just point them our way.

We take it from there. Same path as everyone: a feasibility study first, honest scoping, no pressure on your friend and no spam in their inbox.

If it becomes a project, you share in it. A referral share of the first engagement, agreed openly before anything starts. If you'd rather not take a fee, we return the favour in kind — feasibility or materials research credit for your own work.

The part that matters more

Your name travels with the introduction — we know exactly what that's worth. So the real promise is this: we only take work we're right for, we say so early when we're not, and we tell you how it went either way.

An introduction to 933 should never cost you anything — least of all your reputation.
