At Makerbee Lab, our engineers adhere to a fundamental principle: functionality precedes aesthetics. In our experience as a consultancy, we have frequently observed clients investing significant resources in design without adequate consideration of the underlying mechanics. This approach can lead to costly rework, project delays, and sometimes even project failure.
We have noticed that many clients fall into this trap, overemphasising visual appeal at the expense of internal mechanics. At Makerbee Lab we believe that form should follow function, and that a solution that works effectively is far more valuable than one that simply looks beautiful. As such, we prioritize the development of a working prototype before refining its appearance or size. Our mantra is “make it work” first before “make it small and beautiful”. Only then do we consider how to refine and optimize the design to make it more user-friendly, sustainable, and visually appealing. This ensures that our clients receive a practical, efficient, and effective solution that meets their goals.
By focusing on functionality first, we are able to:
- Deliver high-quality projects that meet client requirements
- Reduce development time and costs
- Minimize risks and errors
