bio
My name is Don Daniëls. I was born into a family that gave me all the space I needed for early exploration of our world. Ever since I was a little child I have put question marks behind every mechanism and product that passed through my hands.
This kinesthetic learning resulted in a vast collection of practical- and logical knowledge I now put into practice throughout my student career. First on a vocational education level as a mechanical engineer at ROC Mondriaan in The Hague and later as a student product designer on a university level at the University of Applied Science in The Hague.
Next to designing products and thinking about those workings I also enjoy studying languages, tinkering and being outdoors.
Hobbies
In my spare time I enjoy my hobbies
methodology
To prevent unforeseen costs and to maintain order and oversight during the design process I utilize the IPO design methodology.
Strengths
Look & feel
THE FIRST THING A USER WILL NOTICE IS WHAT A PRODUCT LOOKS LIKE, I ENSURE MY DESIGNS FIT INTO THE STYLE OF THE TARGET AUDIENCE.
Functionality
NEXT TO BEING ABLE TO ANSWER TO A CLIENTS DEMANDS ON A PRODUCTS' LOOK & FEEL, I CAN ALSO ENSURE A PRODUCT HAS OPTIMAL FUNCTIONALITY FOR ITS INTENDED USE.
Producibility
A VIABLE PRODUCT MUST ALSO BE PRODUCIBLE, HENCE THE IMPORTANCE OF INTEGRATED PRODUCT DESIGN. I AM ABLE TO TAKE THE PRODUCIBILITY AND IT'S CONSIDERATIONS OF A DESIGN INTO ACCOUNT AT A VERY EARLY STAGE IN THE DESIGN PROCESS.
Practical knowlegde
PRIOR TO MY STUDIES AS A PRODUCT DESIGN ENGINEER I STUDIED MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AT A VOCATIONAL LEVEL. HERE I GAINED A LOT OF HANDS ON PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT PRODUCTS AND THE ASSEMBLY AND MANUFACTURING THEREOF.
