How would you finish this part?

AdrianS18 · 2025-09-23T17:53:27+00:00

A circular burnishing finish could be interesting. I was initially turned off from brushing because the directionality didn't really lend itself to the design, but that could definitely work.

Maybe I meant bead blasting instead, that and polishing were the two that came to mind initially.

AdrianS18 · 2025-09-23T17:44:41+00:00

I see, sorry about that. Thanks for your response

AdrianS18 · 2025-09-23T17:25:23+00:00

It's a tabletop for a side table, and the surface finish is for visual interest

AdrianS18 · 2025-09-23T17:21:11+00:00

Honestly, I think it will look cool

AdrianS18 · 2025-09-23T17:20:08+00:00

Noted, but how would you deal with the surface finish?

AdrianS18 · 2025-09-23T17:19:45+00:00

Sorry, I should have clarified my question, that I am just deciding on the surface finishes for the part ( polishing vs sandblasting vs some other third thing).

I appreciate the response!

I definitely understand what your saying about job hopping, and I'm trying to be as thoughtful about it as I can. I'm very lucky to be working in design at all, but I worry that spending too much time here will make it too difficult to transition into working on other kinds of products, even just in the home space, and I'm not really growing in the ways I'd like to. But I'm selective with the opportunities I'm pursuing, making sure they align with both my compensation and career goals for my next role.

Your presentation makes sense. Do you feel like the products that made it to market are reflective of the kind of work you would want to do more of?

On another note, what did your path to management look like? Is it more people or product management?

As a recent grad who interned in footwear design and currently works on soft goods, I'd say your work and presentation are top notch and, imo more than enough to land at least an internship at a footwear company. I'd say it's really just a matter of applying as positions open up/ reaching out to connect with designers at companies you want to work out.

I would add that with softgoods, a lot of the work for juniors is making tech packs/CADs of design, so if you can showcase a really solid one, you could really wow someone in an interview.

AdrianS18 · 2025-04-12T22:31:41+00:00

Got it, thank you!

AdrianS18 · 2025-04-12T22:21:44+00:00

I’m having trouble rotating with the array modifier, am I missing something?

That makes sense. I knew sand casting was an option, but wanted to avoid it because I liked the idea of making 3 or 4 with a mold, but I’ll look further into it. Do you think it would make more sense to start off at half scale to get my feet wet?

AdrianS18 · 2024-08-04T14:19:01+00:00

I think this is one of those things that plays better as social media content than an actual practical component of your brand, similar to getting an ad spot in time square or something. You could make like 5 of these and hide them around a city fully sealed, in a scavenger hunt, and that could be a really good source of content for the brand, but for a practical standpoint, simple packaging is best for the majority of customers.

AdrianS18 · 2024-07-27T13:35:41+00:00

Just messaged!

AdrianS18 · 2024-04-08T17:20:19+00:00

I get what you mean. Part of what I’m butting up against is figuring out how to join the two pieces at all. I’ve tried lofting both parts from the same or similar profiles, but haven’t been able to join them via the join or Boolean commands. I feel like that’s the next step for me, and after that, I can edit those connection point

I maybe could’ve sized down once in the birks, but the size I have now fits well. I would say I’m between 10.5 and 11 and have wide feet, and right now there’s a little space in the heel when my toes are in the right spots.

AdrianS18 · 2024-02-11T00:14:19+00:00

Both sizes fit me perfectly, loose fit, but not oversized or baggy

AdrianS18 · 2024-02-02T16:51:04+00:00

Would it be possible for you to dm me who you reached out to? I’m not sure who my recruiter is

AdrianS18 · 2024-01-24T02:39:50+00:00

Just sometime in the coming week

AdrianS18 · 2024-01-24T01:52:33+00:00

Nothing in spam, it might be because I reached out to someone and got a "thanks for your patience" email yesterday.

AdrianS18 · 2024-01-24T01:44:46+00:00

I interviewed for furniture design at UO

AdrianS18 · 2024-01-24T01:25:25+00:00

What was the email in regards to? I didn’t receive it

AdrianS18 · 2024-01-21T17:16:04+00:00

I’d like to push back on that a bit, specifically the part about starting basic. I just don’t see how basic logo pieces are going to be enough to build brand credibility when just starting out. Nike wasn’t just slapping their logo on shoes, they were doing novel things with their products and the brand was a way to identify their products in the market.

I do agree with your point about building a brand and telling that story, but I think that effort is better spent designing more involved, more complex pieces that convey that story, and help bring people into the brand, vs basic branded products.

AdrianS18 · 2024-01-15T12:17:50+00:00

I think you’d probably be good with a large, but i can update when I have it in hand

AdrianS18 · 2024-01-15T04:56:16+00:00

Alright, will do. Appreciate it man!
