September 2020 - 2024

Mid-Level Product Designer

• 4 fairground designs were made, 1 of which was in Cologne.

• Managed the visualization team.
  
  New Product Developement
  In response to design briefs, I create concept product designs, initially sketched by hand following benchmark analysis. Leveraging my proficiency in 3D modeling, I transfer ideas from ideation sketches to Solidworks, utilizing multiple axes for ideation sketching on a platform that enables three dimensional concept development. This approach allows for the creation of 'Holistic' products, designed by considering multiple facets.
  
  Visualization
  I led the visualization team, consisting of four members, overseeing task assignments, tracking progress, providing feedback on trial visuals for alignment with corporate identity, and obtaining approvals for final visuals.

Junior Product Designer

Produced stand designs and manufacturing files tailored to the corporate identities of diverse companies, ensuring alignment with their unique brand aesthetics.

Design For Production
With over 11 years of Solidworks 3D modeling expertise, I have proficiently generated dimensioned technical drawings for production. Additionally, I have prepared output files in DXF or DWG formats, directly facilitating the implementation of 2D details found in the design for seamless transmission to manufacturing.

Concept Design
Conducted research on the target user group for a provided concept, identifying potential core values. By delving into both user needs and the context in which the product would be positioned, I designed a user experience that allows users to access services with minimal steps. For instance, determining the probable height at which the product would be positioned led to the decision to incline the screen for optimal user interaction.
