@joshsummerfield
Industrial designer focused on product and digital design.
AustraliaI’m currently available immediately and open to freelance, contract, part-time or project-based opportunities across Australia’s east coast.
I’m particularly keen on remote work.
I’m primarily interested in roles across brand design, graphic design, retail design, industrial design, digital design and website concept development.
I am an Industrial Designer with a diverse background encompassing retail, product, and digital design. My experience integrates concept development, advanced CAD skills, and hands-on production knowledge. I am motivated by technical challenges and committed to delivering high-quality products that exceed client objectives.
My experience includes designing point-of-sale and retail displays, prototyping, and managing production processes. Additionally, I provide freelance services in branding, graphic design, and e-commerce website development. Throughout all projects, I consistently apply project management principles, design for manufacturability (DFM), and cost-saving strategies to enhance manufacturability and profitability.
I prioritise integrity, visionary thinking, and collaboration. I am unwavering in my dedication to excellence and in supporting colleagues to ensure the successful completion of every project.
Aside from work, I am fascinated with psychology, health & fitness and deep conversations.
