Jewellery design and product development, using 2D and 3D programs. The bulk of my work at Hvisk was working within the design team to iterate and develop new jewellery pieces and collections. Experimenting with different textures, colours and sizes or creating a collection based off of one piece. 

 

3D models make prototyping and problem solving much simpler without the need of making as many physical prototypes, reducing the time and cost it requires to develop pieces. These models can then be 3D printed or used as realistic visual representation in the design process, demonstrations, sales pitches and production. 

 

It is much easier to show how items, particularly those with complex forms will look in 3D and how pieces with multiple parts fit together. When accompanied by a good technical illustration and spec sheet makes for easy communication between all departments in the company from research and idea generation, through the design process and finally to production. This is especially useful when not all departments are under the same roof, people work home or when products are manufactured off-site, good visuals reduce issues and miscommunication from language barriers or people with different levels of technical background.
