Industrial designers are very in-demand, and in a wider range of workplaces than ever before. From technology to furniture to manufacturing and more, industrial design is becoming more prominent in how companies make things that people use every day. It is therefore crucial that you stay on the cutting edge of design. Certification (or even degrees) in 3D rendering, CAD or material sciences can distinguish you from other designers, while experience on complex projects will solidify you as a serious professional. Don’t become complacent: always look for design problems to solve and work meticulously on solving them. You should always be one or two breakthroughs away from something that could change the world.
As an industrial designer, your portfolio is everything. You need a way to show your most successful designs in a striking way that gets employers to notice. Work on telling the story of your successes: did one of your designs disrupt an industry? Maybe it was something smaller that made an incremental (but very important) improvement in utility or appearance. Whatever the case, find new and exciting ways to contextualize your work and don’t be afraid to show it off on social media. If you’re considering a new industrial designer role and you want to negotiate your offer, this context-building becomes even more important. You’ll also need to showcase your mastery of software and design tools like Keyshot, Gathering, and AutoCAD. The more you know, the more valuable you will be.
