Ancord

ANCORD Design Co is a five-person product design studio on Vancouver Island, based on the traditional territories of the Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. Founded by Alex Nagel, the practice builds products meant to last, and much of its work sits in action sports, where it combines a close reading of the market with development, prototyping and photorealistic 3D rendering.

Services include two-to-four-week design sprints that test an idea before full development, industrial design and support through production. Projects range from the Nada aluminium toothbrush system to outdoor and sport equipment, and clients point to the studio’s clear communication and on-schedule deliverables.
