OUR STORY

A track record to be proud of. Established in 1971, Brownlie Design has become a leader in the field of industrial design. Early clients, including industry leaders Welch Allyn, the Raymond Corporation, and General Electric, launched founder Alan Brownlie on a career-long journey as an industrial designer and inventor that spanned more than 30 years. Alan's vision resulted in hundreds of satisfied clients, numerous patents, several national design awards, and many products that have earned international recognition. To ensure that the firm's collective talent and vision would continue after Alan's retirement, Scott Ryan was appointed President of Corporate Operations in 1997 and assumed ownership in 2001.

Today, Brownlie Design continues to expand its client base and advance its capabilities. Clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to small start-ups and individual entrepreneurs know they can come to Brownlie Design for world-class product development services.
