Koolights – Product Designer (Co Founder)

The work carried out by product designer varies and it can be very busy juggling different projects. It may include some of the following:

• establish the design brief, including the concept, performance and production criteria;
• working on ideas as part of a team or developing design concepts using CAD (computer-aided design);
• sketching initial design ideas;
• identifying the suitability and availability of materials;
• producing detailed, final hand drawings and specifications or, more likely, using dedicated computer software (CAD) to produce design specifications, including parts lists and costings;
• making samples or working models by hand or using computerised prototyping equipment;
• testing the design concept by computerised modelling or physical hands-on testing of models;
• researching materials, processes or market requirements;
