As a Commercial and industrial designer I
usually work closely with engineers, materials
scientists, marketing and corporate strategy staff,
cost estimators, and accountants. As a Designer,
I have a strong background in engineering and
computer-aided design, as well as extensive
business expertise.
Nature of My Work:
Commercial and industrial designer combine the
fields of business and engineering to design the
process systems, equipment or product. A
designer is responsible for the style, function,
quality, and safety of their projects.
The first steps in developing a new design, or
altering an existing one, are to determine the
requirements of the client, the ultimate function
for which the design is intended, and its appeal
to customers or users. When creating a new
design a designer often begins by researching
the process the client intend to alter or create.
The process characteristics, such as size,
shape, weight, color, materials used, cost, ease
of use, fit, and safety. As a Designer gathering
information by meeting with clients, conducting
equipment and vendor research, reading design
and R&D publications, attending trade shows,
and visiting potential users, suppliers and
manufacturers.
As a Designer I then prepare conceptual
sketches or diagrams—by hand or with the aid of
a computer—to illustrate the vision for the design.
After conducting research and consulting with a
clients project team. Then I create detailed
sketches and drawing. Many of our drawings are
created on computer-aided design (CAD) tools
(AutoCad) for better visualize the final process or
product. Computer models allow ease and
flexibility in exploring a greater number of design
alternatives, thus reducing design costs and
cutting the time it takes to deliver a final process
or product.
