C. Sven Johnson

Senior industrial designer by title but operating in varying capacities from staff designer to design manager; reporting directly to the company's director of industrial design. As such, I contribute at all levels, including but not limited to:
- writing/editing proposals
- meeting with potential clients
- conducting design research
- generating concept sketches and foam mock-ups
- creating concept 3D renderings (usually KeyShot) and Powerpoint presentations
- sourcing and quoting for both prototypes and short production runs
- providing 3D CAD (usually in Creo, SolidWorks or Alias) for tooling and working closely with engineering on tooling strategies
- assisting in UI/UX development; from high-level brainstorming to providing 2D assets to embedded applications developers to deriving mathematical relations for members of the software team
- providing detailed CMF and product graphics documentation
- managing junior designers and engineers

I have been a remote employee operating in the Los Angeles area for the last 12 years, traveling domestically or internationally as needed to work onsite with our clients.
