How I Design My Digital Renders

Start

Start at the end

Looking at the overall goals for a project gives us a road map on how to best approach the solution. Here we map out what we need and how we are going to accomplish the task at hand.

Sketch and Model

This is the fun part! Here we plan, sketch, diagram, model, 3D design, 3D print, and prototype. Each project needing a mix and match of these.

Model

Test

Test Renders

Here is where we learn the most. This stage will tell us how we can improve through different means of testing. We test and retest till we achieve the result needed.

The Details

We take what we have learned from testing and now we design the final product, both digitally and physically.

Edits

Present

Finish and Reflect

Last but not least, we’ll look back at every aspect of the project, from start to finish, to pinpoint any potential areas of improvement. Work smarter, not harder.
