“ With extensive experience leading industrial design and product development teams within manufacturing settings, Aodh O Donnell has developed a broad skill set and expertise spanning the total product design, development, and manufacturing process. This experience is applied to the product creation process with the goal of realizing solutions that balance creativity, manufacturing feasibility, and business success. Achieving this goal begins with the development of a design strategy informed by product, market, and user research to define clear design objectives and establish alignment with cross-functional partners. From the onset of the design process, design for manufacturing principles are taken into consideration in order to accelerate the development process, avoid late-stage revision or redirection, and ensure business goals are achieved. Design engineering and supply chain alignment are implemented in the early stages of the design process to secure design concept viability and development efficiency. This approach of maintaining a holistic view of the total product realization process combined with Agile project management principles and Human-Centered Design fundamentals has resulted in the creation of award-winning products and impactful market success.”
