OUR HISTORY

Founded in 2013 by product designers Andrew and Alex, Duku was created to help turn design ideas into reality for entrepreneurs and businesses.

 

Duku’s goal was to streamline the new product development process by focusing on commercial viability and prototyping early in the design process to reduce development time and improve quality.

 

We embrace a collaborative approach to deliver efficient, cohesive design solutions. Our team works together in our Cheltenham product design studio featuring the latest CAD software, equipped with two workshops and a dedicated electronics workroom; ensuring seamless integration across all aspects of our projects.​
