Product Design & Development
“…no industrial designer worth his salt, or our attention, has been trained to work exclusively on any particular product, unless by accident. What he has been trained to do is practice a process called design, a process that includes esthetic choices but does not consist only of them.” — Ralph Caplan
From correctly identifying the needs of the user, to investigating and validating the problems in current system, and ultimately crafting, designing, testing and building a new innovative solution, a product designer never ceases the opportunity to make it perfect and make it big.
Product Design holds great value in every kind of business, be it designing to save lives or a luxury car to be sold in international market, designing a product accurately and efficiently is what steals the show. Hence, keeping this in mind, we bring to you a list of various opportunities available for aspiring Product Designers.
