What sort of companies do Industrial designers work for?
A – Industrial designers often work within dedicated design consultancies, similar to Architects where clients dictate what they want to achieve. The designer goes to work to produce solutions and concepts that are periodically reviewed and directed by the client. Industrial designers commonly work for manufacturing companies that have one or many product lines, solving production problems and resolving appearance and functionality issues. It is also fairly common for Industrial designers to work as freelancers, generating visual and functional concepts for ideas that come from companies or individuals.
