Method

Five stageswith deliverables.

A legible sequence, explicit decision points and a record of what was decided, so as to avoid round trips and concepts watered down along the way.

Stage 4 — render and animation before any tooling
01

Framing

1 meeting

Target, price positioning, intended process, factory and logistics constraints, timeline. We define what will be judged at the end: an image, a drawing, a product.

  • Deliverables
  • Shared brief
  • Decision criteria
  • Schedule
02

Trends & territory

Targeted analysis

Watch on your category, your competitors and upstream signals. A style territory is chosen and dated: the concept rests on signals, not on tastes.

  • Deliverables
  • Sourced trend board
  • Approved style territory
03

Concepts

Fast first directions

Sketches, then 3D volumes. Several comparable directions, staged identically so the decision is about design rather than presentation quality.

  • Deliverables
  • Formal directions
  • 3D volumes
  • Reasoned recommendation
04

Development & CMF

Before any prototype

Detailed modelling, colours, materials and finishes, photorealistic renders and animation. You decide and you present before committing to a mould.

  • Deliverables
  • Photorealistic renders
  • Product animation
  • CMF palette
05

Industrialisation & follow-up

Through to production sign-off

Definition drawings, knock-down design where needed, dialogue with the factory, sample approval. The goal: the delivered product looks like the approved concept.

  • Deliverables
  • Definition drawings
  • Assembly diagram
  • Approval follow-up

Let’s talk

A product to create,a range to renew?

Describe the project in a few lines: category, deadline, intended process. I will come back with a reading of the subject and a proposed framing.
