• Design Development Manager

  • Oct 2013 - Oct 2014

  As a Design Development Manager I am directly client facing, building and developing relationships with new and existing customers alike. I’ve become the main point of contact for these customers and as such have built a great level of trust with them through various projects. Clients I’ve worked with have ranged from household goods, clothing, electrical, food and bakery, sports and outdoor pursuits through to major telecommunications companies and worldwide brands involved in health, beauty and pharmaceuticals. My duties in this role have been to take a brief from the client, no matter how thin on the ground the details, and engage with them to fully immerse myself in what they’re trying to achieve. This involves me talking through the project with them, time lines, finishes, materials, look and feel along with graphics and messaging. I then deliver this packaged information into the business to deliver in a feasible concept or direct technical design to deliver into the client along with associated costs which I would manage throughout the project. I will then oversee each project through the various design, estimating, sourcing, purchasing teams, manufacturing stages and be actively involved in signing off first off production in UK and Europe.
