Design process
I work on projects following the design process steps, starting with the marketing brief, followed by the market research to identify who are the prospective users and their needs, along with a competitors analysis, comparing the exisiting products, if any. Once the market opportunity gap is identified and what innovation the proposed procuct would bring, then starts the design research and concept design generation, which leads to the final design. The design selected is then turned into a prototype: this phase is supervised by me. If requested I provide aesthetic prototype as well, foam or 3D printed.
Then if the tests on the prototype are satisfying the client, engineering for production starts .
