How to Work with an Outside Industrial Designer (Even If You Have an In-House Team)

Not sure how an outside industrial designer fits into your workflow? You’re not alone.

I’ve had a few conversations lately that made me realize: many teams aren’t sure how to use external design support — especially if they already have in-house talent, are rebranding off-the-shelf products, or just haven’t worked with a design studio before.

So here’s how I can help:

🔹 Your team’s at capacity. You’ve got a project on deck, but no bandwidth to tackle it. I can jump in as a temporary extension of your team — no need to hire full-time.

🔹 You’ve got ideas, but they’re not quite landing. I bring fresh perspective and outside-the-box thinking to help push concepts further and unlock new directions.

🔹 You’re navigating unfamiliar territory. Whether it’s product development, prototyping, or visual storytelling — I can guide you through the process and help bring your vision to life.

Bonus: As we build a working relationship, it becomes easier and easier to plug-and-play when you need support — just momentum and some extra horsepower to drive you to the finish line.

If you’re curious how this could apply to your next project — or just want to chat about design — I’d love to connect.

Let’s make something cool together.  👊
