I'll demonstrate how I use sketching tools, Fusion 360 for 3D modeling, and Cinema 4D for rendering to create industrial-inspired designs. You'll also see how I leverage Figma for design documentation, Adobe Illustrator for packaging, and my complete setup for product photography and marketing videos. At the end, you'll see the projects I've been working on over the past year: the Industrial Series. This includes the Encore Series 3 keyboard I designed with Mode and a new line of precision-machined pens with Inventery. Both products are an extension of my original “X-Ray Collection”, which uses translucent polycarbonate that reveals internal components, complemented by premium materials like brushed steel and copper. ▬▬▬▬ Links & Resources ▬▬▬▬ Using some of the links below, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
