Bio
I am an award-winning industrial designer with an extensive professional and educational experience in industrial design, with supporting practice in product development, manufacturing & branding. In 2010 I moved to Shanghai to be closer to manufacturing and on the factory floor while developing products. I’ve designed many products that were successfully delivered to the market and also launched some of the most successful crowdfunding campaigns raising millions on crowdfunding platforms. Working for years for international clients, in the fields of industrial design I am now helping clients design, visualize and manufacture products in China.
Expertise
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Starting with the research on the product category I can develop sketches and design direction for the product. After sketching out several concepts I will select the best concepts with the client and move forward into CAD 3D modeling.
VISUALIZATION
I can develop photo-realistic computer-generated images of the product for website, print or any other marketing material.
MANUFACTURING
Being in China for over 10 years allows me to work directly with factories and develop products efficiently. I can help you vet the factory and introduce the right manufacturer to quote the product mold and production cost. During the manufacturing phase, I can oversee the production, making sure that everything is moving forward as intended.
