Personal Profile

With over 3 years experience in design I am a relatively successful Product Design Engineer having worked in a wide range of media and a across a variety of market sectors including FMCG's, packaging, white goods, public services, health care, and construction. Having gained valuable professional experience working in Architecture, Plastic Moulding, Playground design, and consultancy work I am using this Blog as a tool to upload useful links and industry news that other design professionals and students my find useful. I am currently an in-house Design Engineer at Dyson where I started in 2011. Before I was working for a company called Monster Play Systems where I project managed jobs from sales order confirmation to installation and worked closely with their manufacturing department and external contractors.

Useful Links

I stumbled across this list of useful links a couple of months ago and promptly emailed it around the other designers in the office. Some of the links you can give a miss but its incredibly difficult to find anthropometric data on the web, and you can never have too many material selection sites under your belt. I haven't yet had a chance to go through all the links but I am particularly impressed with the Kuler colour selection tools.

This site is probably one of the most powerful tools to have in your armoury as an industrial designer. Product Design Hub has some of the best Solidworks tutorials on the web and the forums are a great place to air new concepts and get feedback from IDer's all over the world. A word to the wise though some of these guys are pretty blunt!
