David MATEO
Senior product designer — Bordeaux, France
About
16+ years of experience in product design.
I started in the car industry as I love cars and transport design.
As a surfer, I moved to the surf industry in 2001 to design bags, accessories, footwear and eyewear for 5 years at Ripcurl, 2 years at O'Neill (management of a design team). I joined Oxbow in 2008 to get another challenge. From the first sketch including graphic design, to the development in Asia and the photos of the products.
