Research who will use a particular product, and the various ways it might be used
Sketch out ideas or create renderings, which are images on paper or on a computer that provide a better visual of design ideas
Use computer software to develop virtual models of different designs
Create physical prototypes of their designs
Examine materials and production costs to determine manufacturing requirements
Work with other specialists such as mechanical engineers or manufacturers to evaluate whether their design concepts will fill a need at a reasonable cost
Evaluate product safety, appearance, and function to determine if a design is practical
