123 Design was created in 1999 by Leo Riza (a.k.a Aslan Riza).

The company has its own terminology for its design approach. The 11-Step Cycle dictates its approach to general product development. The cycle is believed to be a backward-forward approach to development in general. It dictates that inventors, design and engineering companies, or manufacturing companies can approach any project either way and still become successful.
The idea behind the cycle is that no matter how large or small a project is, and regardless of the field, market, or industry, the general steps and tasks that need to be taken are as follows:
The cycle has five main stages:
