Experience
Product Designer
Jul 2012 — Present · Rahway, NJ, US
I have worked extensively in industrial design creating products for KidDesigns. This includes concepting new product ideas, establishing product’s interaction model and market research. Visually I create the product from sketch to Illustration to 3D model. I work with licensors like Disney, Marvel and Dreamworks to pitch these ideas and develop aesthetics for products that match their lines. From there I help revise prototypes and work with manufacturers to ensure quality of production from factory to shelf.RELEVANT SKILLS:• Product Illustration• Product Conceptualization• Industrial Design• Product Manufacturing Specifications
