PRODUCT / GRAPHIC DESIGN
Programs
AutoCAD
Fusion 360
Photoshop / Illustrator
Prompt:
Use the design process and work with parts manufacturers to create a custom interior AC faceplate that is upgraded and "premium" compared to the OEM-supplied part.
Process:
Take measurements and reverse engineer the existing faceplate, drafted concepts in AutoCAD, and modeled in Fusion 360.
The faceplate design was based on existing tests and research to maximize air intake and output. Once the design was completed, I prototyped through a local manufacturer and confirmed tests and fitment. After approval, I coordinated with overseas suppliers to manufacture the faceplate.
Result:
A distinctively different faceplate was created which optimized airflow and had a premium finish over the original, proving the value in the higher price point.
Prompt:
Create various media and images for promotional / print media and customer-facing instructional and installation manuals.
Process:
3D model new or import existing CAD models into Blender 3D to create realistic textures, studio environments, and high-quality renders that help illustrate a product and its purpose.
Work with fellow employees to break down the processes, through multiple tests and documentation through photos, notes, and manufacturer-supplied information.
Result:
Unique images that take advantage of color/texturing in a 3D program to convey easy-to-comprehend visuals paired with numerical order systems for an approachable guided process.
