Our Mission

Hatch Duo's mission is to innovate and influence future human experiences through design. HD collaborates with the world's most innovative companies to catalyze new product categories and bring them to market.

Our Approach

We're different. Trust us. We aren't motivated by what looks good in our portfolio or design awards. We are interested in figuring out how to design products that your users will love and drive growth to your business. We listen and do our homework, diagnosing each problem to tailor specific plans that fit each client's needs, budgets and timelines. We’re here to help you build your nest and there to help you spread your wings and fly from initial concept to production — and beyond.

Our Values

Results. We value outcomes over effort.
Integrity. Being authentic. If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.
Unconventional. Innovation is seeing what everybody has seen, thinking what nobody has thought.
Time. Time is of the essence, and time is money.

Our Services and Capabilities

How We Work: We’re a remote hybrid design team. We have always been hybrid virtual design team, since our inception in 2018(pre-COVID). While we have an on-site studio office for rapid prototyping and collaboration, we believe that a remote/hybrid model gives our clients exponential value by giving them access to global design talent, saving them time and money on travel and transitive overhead fee markup, and allowing Hatch Duo to recruit the best designers who prefer to spend time designing, rather than being stuck in traffic.
