The Overview

Here is a brief overview of the products I designed and managed for Great Jones. Each item reflects the brand's unique and inventive industrial design. My role at Great Jones encompassed everything from initial concept development to the mass production of new products.

 
 
  • This is the very beginning of the product development process, where I start with concepts from mild to wild with a targeted beneficial feature sets in mind.

  • This is where concept starts to turn into reality, by keeping common manufacturing methods in mind with a nod to creative hardware design to optimize a balance in BOM cost and quality of end product.

  • This is where I ensure proper industrial design elements for individual products are carried through manufacturing verification tests.

  • Once individual products receive my approval, this is where we begin to incorporate creative exporting methods to ship products from overseas to the associated distribution centers.
