To whom it may concern,
Greetings! A pleasant day to all.
I would like to inquire if you would like to hire a designer overseas. I have a strong background in furniture and have worked with different factories in China.
I am a bonifide Design Consultant with also a strong knowledge in construction, assembling, finishing, and has know-how in mass production.
A designer that truly, I must confidently say, that every owner of a company, is dreaming of hiring.
Skills: Model Making: machining, sculpting, casting, finishing and rapid prototyping. Experienced with clay, foam, wood, bent plywood, veneer, sheet metal, fiberglass, cast resin and latex, plaster, etc.
.
I am sending information about myself. My design profile has spanned from international development to manufacturing and most recently to 4 Kids, one of the largest importers of handicraft products in China
My experience in my collaboration with the locals was it was an environment with limited technology & materials. My strong hands-on ability complemented local's functional design for necessity. As a machinist, my acquisition of design focused on optimizing systems & quality in high-tech manufacturing. The long years in different manufacturing technology allowed me to incorporate my technical background w/ a strong conceptual design base.
During my stint in my country, the Philippines, I have experience orders from my design thru US companies such as Hobby Lobby, Pacific Rim, CBK, Spiegel Wal-Mart, especially when I was in China with companies such as Target, Bombay, Hallmark, Cardsmart, etc.

Job Description_______________________________________

• scientific;
• medical;
• industrial;
• commercial;
• domestic.

A typical day for an industrial/product designer can be busy and varied and may involve one or more of the following:
• meeting with clients to establish the design brief: the concept, performance and production criteria;
• brainstorming as part of a team or developing design concepts using CAD (computer-aided design);
• taking part in specialist or multidisciplinary team meetings;
• sketching initial design ideas;
• identifying the suitability and availability of materials;
• producing detailed, final hand drawings and specifications or, more likely, using dedicated computer software (CAD) to produce design specifications, including parts lists and costings;

• testing the design concept by computerized modeling or physical hands-on testing of models;
• problem-solving and finding solutions to sometimes complex electro-mechanical problems;
