Industrial Designer - San Francisco
Contract / Freelance Design - 1/09 - present
As a freelance/contract designer I worked with Lifestyle Design, an industrial design consultancy, on a regular basis, as well as several other corporate clients. While the deliverables varied greatly from lifestyle to commercial design, the process relied on a core discipline; competitive and user research followed by personae building, and mood/trend board development. These helped to build a narrative that could be used as a launching point for conceptual designs, and later product applications. Peripheral duties involved project management, client and vendor liason, as well as budgeting and proposal writing.

Deliverables include:

• Multi SKU bag collections and tech packs for mobile, urbanites.
