In this episode...
Andy Bartlett, an experienced UK-based product designer, joins Sofeast's CEO Renaud Anjoran on the podcast once again. Following on from a recent episode where Andy introduced industrial design and how to work with designers, this time they break down the ID process (with a focus on electro-mechanical products being made by startups and SMEs) into 6 detailed 'phases' and Andy explains each drawing from his own long experience. This will be helpful for anyone who's currently developing a new product and will need to work with an industrial designer as you will understand roughly how the process will work.
*Apologies for any occasional tapping sounds during this recording* 😉 🙏
