THE WORK
BEHIND
THE PRODUCT.
From idea to delivery.
I work between customers, designers, suppliers and manufacturers to turn physical product ideas into something real.
LET'S TALK →
SPECIFICATION / CONCEPT / PRODUCT
MOST PRODUCTS START WITH A CONVERSATION.A spark of an idea.
A thought. A sketch. A brief. A reference. A problem.
Or simply:
“We need something like this.”
Or simply:
“We need something like this.”
For more than 20 years, I've been helping turn ideas into real products.
The interesting part is also the complicated part.
Bringing together the idea, the product, the people, the production and everything in between.
FROM IDEA
TO SOMETHING REAL.
The work is rarely a straight line. Product development, sourcing, production and delivery overlap.
01
IDEA
A brief, a sketch, a reference.
02
DEVELOP
Turn the idea into something a factory can make.
03
SOURCE
Material, supplier, costing, production setup.
04
PRODUCE
Samples become production. Details matter.
05
TEST
A product has to work outside the presentation.
06
DELIVER
Packaging, freight, customs and the final handover.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE PRODUCTS.
DOMINIK HOCHHARD
Independent Product & Supply Specialist
For more than 20 years I've worked between customers, designers, suppliers and manufacturers across Europe and Asia.
Some projects started with a finished design. Others started with little more than an idea. Most of the time, the final product came from the exchange between all of them.
Operating through TIKD Sweden AB.
The product has always been more important than the person behind it.
That probably explains why this portfolio is full of products, samples, drawings and working documents.
A FEW THINGS I'VE WORKED ON.
From textiles and accessories to sports products, promotional concepts and complete product collections.
A small selection from more than 20 years.
