Transforming everyday tasks into opportunities to enjoy life.
Can the ordinary be extraordinary?
Trident Design, LLC is a design and invention development firm. We bring extraordinary products to market, transforming everyday tasks into opportunities to enjoy life. Working with our network of top-flight partners, we can deliver every service required to take a product from concept to the shelf in a store.
We call our approach to product development – and our philosophy of business – FIP, which comes from Fun, Impact, and Profit. It is a way of looking at the world where each of these parts is considered to be of exactly equal importance. It is the infusion of FIP that transforms our work into something special.
Our products win awards.
Our products create buzz.
Our products create sales.
Every product has its own story and idiosyncrasies, and every partner has unique strengths, limitations, and needs. Thus, every product ends up on a different path to fruition – what we call the Multi-Track Development System. We have navigated these paths many times, so we have the experience to help guide clients to make informed decisions.
Trident works with a wide variety of clientele, helping independent inventors realize their dreams and assisting established companies, from small specialty manufacturers to multi-national corporations, in augmenting their product lines. We have the capabilities and professionalism to deliver value at any level. Contact us to transform your next product.

Trident measures potential and success on a scale of FIP - Fun, Impact, and Profit. All three are considered to be of exactly equal value. This philosophy permeates every aspect of how we do business and it is a philosophy we try to spread. It is also a principle we try to invest in every product we design.
The inventors at Trident pull ideas from daydreams as well as individual experience. We love solving problems of all kinds and have developed products for diverse industries: pet care, kitchen, power delivery, gardening, astronomy, and more. Trident is always pushing its limits to expand our capabilities. If we aren't learning something new, we are wasting our time.
