Mission's values

​

1. All successful products must satisfy the needs of users, the market and the business.   

2. We believe in developing multiple concepts quickly, prototyping them appropriately, testing fast, and iterating.  No one (including Mission) can create the perfect design the first time.  The key is to design a process that allows rapid iteration to arrive at the best solution quickly.

3. Concepts must be tested across all the requirements including user needs, technical requirements, market and business needs before bringing the final concept into final development. 

4. Manufacturing needs to be considered in all phases of design to assure long term quality and low costs.

5. Our clients have deep expertise in a number of areas.  Successful projects result from deep collaboration between the client's and Mission's team.
