Designing a product is a multi-step journey, from first idea to finished object. I can guide you through the whole process, or step in for just the parts you need. Years of hands-on experience have given me a confident understanding of each stage — and, just as importantly, how they influence one another. A decision made early in discovery can shape what's possible in production, and a constraint in manufacturing can reshape the original idea. Come join me on the journey of product development: I can help you connect the dots.
It starts with a lot of talking, discussing, and explaining. You may well know your product's market better than I do — so I listen first. From there, I research competitors' products: where they fall short, and where they excel. I take time to understand your brand, your vision, and where you want to sit in the market. This stage is full of sketching and rough ideas — fast, loose, and exploratory, before anything gets locked in.
Outcome: a clear market fit and a rough outline of the product.
Timeline: 2-3 weeks
This is where the rough outline becomes a real product. Every detail gets defined: material selection, mechanical function, how parts fit together, how the product is assembled — and just as importantly, how it's disassembled, repaired, or recycled at the end of its life. I also work out the production method best suited to the object, whether that's injection molding, CNC machining, sheet metal work, or something else entirely. It's a back-and-forth process — design decisions shape what's manufacturable, and manufacturing constraints shape the design — until every part of the product is fully resolved.
Outcome: a fully defined product, ready for building a functioning prototype in scale 1:1
Timeline: 3-12 months
Prototype building is an art of its own. It often means adapting to different technologies and working with different suppliers, each with their own quirks and limitations. The design has to flex and adjust to these constraints — carefully, so the changes serve the final product rather than compromise it. It usually takes more than one prototype to get it right: you build, you test, you learn what doesn't quite work, and you refine. Then you repeat — until the object in your hands finally matches the one you had in mind.
Outcome: a finished, 1:1 scale prototype.
Timeline: 1-2 months
I offer full support in industrializing your product. I prepare 2D and 3D CAD plans ready for production, and I'm there for all the small decisions that can make or break the final result — choosing the right manufacturing method, the right surface treatment, the right finish, and everything in between. These details are easy to overlook, but they're often what separates a product that feels well-made from one that merely looks good in a render. This is the stage where the design finally meets the realities of the factory floor — and where my job is to make sure nothing gets lost in that transition.
Outcome: a fully industrialized, production-ready product.
Timeline: 1-12 months
I produce highly realistic 3D renders, animations, and VR experiences of your product — whether shown in a clean studio setting or placed within a lifestyle environment. Choosing the right visual language and styling matters just as much as the product itself: the imagery has to speak the same language as your brand and reflect its vision. Whether you need visuals for an early-stage pitch or final marketing material, the goal is the same — visuals built to sell the idea, or the product.
Outcome: 3d renders, animations, VR.
Timeline: 2-4 weeks
Your product deserves packaging designed specifically for it — not an afterthought. The right approach depends entirely on the product itself: simple cardboard with clean graphics might be exactly right, or the product might call for something more elaborate. An often-overlooked but essential part of packaging is the instructions for use — they need to be short, clear, and compliant with the relevant regulations and guidelines for your market.
Outcome: Packaging prototype.
Timeline: 2-6 weeks
