Koolights – Product Designer (Co Founder)

Koolights is a company that sells plastic pieces which interlocks to form interesting lampshades. We present a self assembly lighting system that empowers you with the ability to create unlimited shapes and sizes simply by linking together different pieces of elements. 

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;
