About the Business
Sprout by Design is a two-woman boutique design firm based in New York City. They offer two unique services: product design for inventors and entrepreneurial spirits, as well as design of garden and greenhouse based learning programs.
For product design, their team can turn a napkin sketch into a product that people will love to buy. They create 3D SolidWorks models, renderings, patent drawings and functional prototypes to show investors, manufacturers and customers. Their designs range from IVF pumps and rowing technologies to iPhone cases and lamps – three of which are patented. Additionally, one of their designs was a finalist for the INDEX: Design Award.
The firm also designs garden and greenhouse based learning programs for schools. These educational programs use nature as a fun and hands-on way to teach students the principles of the New York State Learning Standards and Core Curriculum. The holistic approach to health and education also covers proper etiquette which begins with lessons in the garden and extends far beyond it. Three of their classes were even invited to the White House to garden with the Obamas.

- Sprout by Design was founded by Ilona de Jongh: an intrepid, socially conscious Industrial Design Engineer from Curacao (Dutch Caribbean), with a Masters from Delft University of Technology. At the early age of 22, she was working on regulating the speed of an embryo transfer pump for more accuracy in IVF. She was also re-engineering the inside of a vehicle with a new safety belt system for severely handicapped who are unable to use their hands to buckle up. Both designs now hold patents. Ilona creates products, services, systems and educational programs. All are with an eye towards social, environmental, and economic impact. In addition to creating products that care for people who were ill and suffering she began to think about healthcare prevention - what could she create, design, teach to help prevent illness? Since she has been using gardening as her medium for education and early health care prevention. Since, she designs and builds greenhouses, green walls, hydroponic systems
