Method Design Lab has an intensive vetting process for ideas. Drawing intellectual property from the vibrant student body at Central Saint Martins, CSM faculty and staff, and the employees of Method worldwide, we filter for both the best ideas and the best fit with MDL’s capabilities. Even after we engage, we are diligent in setting milestones and regularly checking progress.

We have a vigorous due-diligence process that helps us reach quick decisions about whether to move on an idea or return the idea to the intellectual property creator. We maintain transparency with IP owners and will get involved with a project even at an embryonic stage if the fit is right and we are inspired by the idea.
