My Process
Discovery
01
Understanding the Problem
Listen to your perspective on the challenge, learn how others have attempted to address it, and assess competitors in the market.
Research & Analysis
Interview people who encounter the problem in their everyday lives. Analyze findings and develop design directions to guide concept generation.
Concept Generation
02
Ideation & Sketching
Sketch different potential solutions based on established design directions. Develop one or more concepts with distinct benefits and tradeoffs.
Feedback & Refinement
Present concepts and discuss each direction. Identify design elements that resonate and carry forward to the final concept.
Refinement
03
Detail Development
Rework ideas into a single concept. Add details including colour, material, finish (CMF), UI interaction behaviour, labels, and mechanisms.
Validation
Create prototypes as needed to validate sizing and function before moving to the final model.
Fabrication
04
CAD & Design Package
Develop a fabrication model in CAD software, designed with your preferred manufacturing process in mind: 3D printing, vacuum casting, CNC milling, injection molding, sheet metal, or other methods.
Production Support
Work with fabrication contractors to bring the design to life. Handle design tweaks and create rendered promotional images as needed.
Support
05
As Needed
Support through fabrication, manage design iterations, and create promotional assets as the project moves forward.
