Diego AmayaIndustrial Designer

Introduction

Welcome to my portfolio, I’m glad to share with you my relevant projects as industrial designer. These projects represent my design and technological skills.

This document is composed by eight projects: four medical devices and four products for different sectors from robotics to home devices. Each project is explained between two and four pages, this last feature for the more complex projects. First page is for project presentation in a contextual scene with users and usage environment. Second page have information about the project and others pages have details about the product.

The product design process is show for one project, It is presented from needs identification to prototype construction in a briefly way that summarize several months of work, showing the more important stages in a product development.

- The serum support accessory allows the device be placed in a vertical tube and thus clear space from work tables.

Internal Distribution

The components internal distribution were part of the design process:

- Necessary for housing detailed design - Space optimization to reduce empty spaces- Working jointly with electronic engineers- Easy to assemble- Fulfilling technical and users requirements

9

User Interface

The development of the products user interface was part of the design process.

- According to international standards of medical devices

- Natural and intuitive usage through a membrane keyboard

- Functional and modern look

Handle and Color

- The handle is coherently with the design shape, designed to be resistant with just one support.

- Blue color highlights the product areas that allows interaction, and white color communicates hygiene and health.
