Design Brief & Scope of Work
When we connect, we can run through the critical project information such as your deadline, pricing, strategy, and specific expected outcome. I tailor my services to fit any sized project, and budget accordingly. You can expect every project we work on together to have a personal touch of professionalism.
(Phase 1)
Market Research
Research is crucial to successful projects. The earlier research information can be gathered, the better. Demographics, shopping habits, consumer inputs, color and material trends, and competitive benchmarking are extremely beneficial to every successful project. This process allows every project to meet expected client constraints, and will also provide data to prove why projects make sense for certain markets and consumers.
(Phase 2)
Concept Development
Design ideas that develop from what was learned during research, trend, and market data inquires. These inputs provide the key design criteria, material constraints, and foreseeable engineering issues. Development techniques such as concept sketching, computer modeling, and photo-real renderings will provide content for the project moving forward.
(Phase 3)
Refinement
Concepts and models are aligned with final strategy goals. Changes and tweaks are a common part of narrowing down projects to determine the best outcome for you. We can work together to refine how the concepts will leap off the page and on to the shelves.
(Phase 4)
Implementation
My years of experience dealing with suppliers can help alleviate pressure with getting a project to market. I understand the importance of clear and concise communication with the supply chain. From initial prototypes, to final production run, we can work together to get your project to meet any final constraints and start selling in the market.
