Design Management in Australia
October 08, 2009
Claudia Bonifer works as the Design Director for Tiller Design and Tiller Scientific+Medical. As a well respected industry professional specialising in providing product development and product design services and solutions, Claudia contributes her viewpoint on Design Management in Australia, to the Design Management Institute.
“Australian product design consultancies are generally distinguished by their expertise in design for manufacture. Australian Product Designers excel in design engineering. In my experience, it appears to be widely accepted that Industrial Designers in Europe and North America work in sequence with Design Engineers. In Australia, Design for Manufacture and Design Engineering are well-developed skills within Industrial Design, and Product Design Consultancies use these as a key selling points for their services. In addition, the proximity to Asia and its manufacturing landscape has put Australian Industrial Designers in a unique position that required an extension of their skills into project and production management.”
