My senior designer role involved specializing within a specific portfolio of products in order to understand & influence more on a range logic or category build-up level opposed to singular propositions. For this I moved to the Peripherals & Accessories account dealing primarily with the headphone range. This role later encompassed PC Accessories including PC speakers, Input devices & Soft goods.
As a junior designer here I worked initially for DAP (Domestic appliances) & Lighting involving fluidity support between Hong Kong, Singapore & the european offices in Amsterdam & Eindhoven.
