Since its founding in 1984, Lunar has built a diverse team – a variety of talents and cultures organized in a creative network.   This team comprises our staff, and extends to include a rich network of external resources as well.

We focus on creating successful consumer products and valuable medical devices, and we enjoy developing biotech and capital equipment when the opportunity fits.

We create value in the fuzzy front end by defining opportunities and products, which then enables us to carry projects through to concrete implementation.  Possessing the whole range of skills informs both ends of the process.

At the core of our skills is a keen talent for program management.  Lunar has built a comprehensive ability to run complex programs, bringing our creative talent together in a way that generates inspiring results.  Our program managers are themselves proficient designers and engineers with a broad interest in product development.  We care about understanding your business challenges and guiding you to creative, meaningful solutions – while deliberately balancing cost, schedule and risk.

Our objective is to create remarkable designs that succeed in the market.  We delve into your stated goals and reflect them back to you in visually relevant ways.  We begin our work with research in order to understand market preferences and opportunities.  Lunar designers participate in ethnographic interviews, contributing research exhibits that energize the investigation.  We work closely with researchers so that we can in turn create informed designs. 

We conduct innovation workshops and intensely focused design charettes to create a wealth of solution possibilities.  We sketch, we build, we model.  We create magic show presentations to capture the imagination of stakeholders in your organization.  We prototype and iterate to brew stunning designs that reflect the vision we create with you.

Much attention has been given to design’s role in business.  At its simplest, this means thinking holistically about how design communicates your brand promise to your market in a cohesive and captivating way across your entire product offering.  That’s design strategy.  Many design firms have been building this skill, but we have already mastered it.

Lunar has been helping clients move beyond that – to a place where design thinking delivers on business goals and creates real value, uncovers new opportunities, invents targeted offerings, and reaches new markets.  This is strategic design.  We connect your business goals to your customers through design.

Whiz, snap, click.  Slide, whir, silence.  Smart engineering lies at the heart of great products, whether it’s inventing the world’s smallest bar code reader or delivering a complete radiosurgery suite on time and within budget.  Lunar’s team of engineers creates ingenious solutions within the rigor of analytical and regulatory review.

Because designing for medical devices requires special sensitivity and regulatory diligence, Lunar has created our MED practice – Medical Engineering and Design.  In addition to our experience developing diagnostic and therapeutic systems for hospitals, doctors and patients, we draw on the expertise and access afforded to us by our Medical Advisory Board.

We understand our place in the world.  Successful products depend on a wide range of skills and creativity that reaches beyond Lunar’s areas of focus.  We rely on our program management talent to parlay the talents of experts and innovators that live outside our walls.  And we regularly build teams that include a broader range of skills in order to create stunning, successful products.
