Founded in 2002 in Ottawa, Canada, Morph Design Ltd. is a small team of industrial designers that believes that products should be simple, useful, and needed, and that their function should always bring value to producers and consumers alike.
Our services can be grouped into two general types: product design & development and product licensing. No matter what work we do, our goal is to solve problems effectively, efficiently, and with style.

Our Approach
At Morph, we believe in thoughtful and responsible design that challenges assumptions — but not at the expense of having fun and enjoying the creative process.
Designing the right thing right
We don’t do gimmicks and we don’t cut corners. There’s enough poorly-designed junk clogging our landfills and we simply refuse to add to it. Our process ensures that our products are needed, work well, and stand the test of time.
Finding the toast
A professor once said, “People want toast not toasters.” The products we develop are focused on key functions and the value they provide to the people who use them. Discovering these functions are what we call “finding the toast”.
Investing in intellect
Individual ownership of intellectual property generates wealth, promotes independence, and allows freedom to choose your future. We believe in giving creative minds an outlet and providing a framework to bring good ideas to market.
People over profits
We strive to source labour and materials from places where human rights are respected and workers are protected. Profiting from oppressive practices is not only immoral, but cheap labour can become a crutch for bad design.
