ResQ was founded by Kavita to help herself, and other parents, strike a balance between ensuring their teenage and young adult children's safety while respecting their privacy.

Our Role

Working in close collaboration with ResQ, our role in this project began small by prototyping and testing a PCB that had been designed by freelancers but the collaboration quickly grew from there to include all phases of product development from concept design through to manufacturing and marketing.

Concept Development

Many concept designs were developed in the early stages, exploring various shapes, materials, colors and textures to achieve a premium jewelry aesthetic while being compatible with the electronics that needed to fit inside.

Metal Signifies Quality

To differentiate from competitors manufacturing products from cheap materials, all ResQ jewelry was designed from metal, with premium coatings for a luxury feel.

Manufacturing and Packaging

Beyond just the design and engineering of the products, we also supported ResQ with manufacturing and packaging design to delight customers with an enjoyable unboxing experience.
