Hello,
I'm an experienced industrial designer with engineering background and specialization in product styling and development. In my career I have worked on numerous projects with engineering and design studios involved in product research and development. It varied from designing small home products and gadgets, advanced composite furniture design, to designing very specific projects like interior of low floor trams, and for industrial and rail vehicles...
Today I collaborate with many factories and various manufacturers not only in EU but also in China and south Asia. So I can offer you complete design service; from concept stage, sketching and object styling, to building fully functional mockups and prototypes and organizing serial production. I think future 'trends' in design can be found as a fusion of various technical and artistic disciplines, and design management. I tend to cover all that area.
So, in brief, I approach each client 'individually' and personalize the specific case for the project requirements. My goal is to realize long term business relationship to our mutual satisfaction. Of course, I am not charging initial consultation.
Speaking about my prices and timetable for design phase, I can not roughly estimate it without knowing more details about project. I would prefer us define prices after the brainstorming. I prefer quality over speed. I'd rather be honest from the start than annoy everyone with delays or worse still, rushing the process and designing a product that I'm not proud of.
I found your case very interesting and inspiring, and I would definitely like to know more details about it. Looking forward to meet you. Feel free to ask any additional info :)
Thank you!
