Hey, wanted to check what are your Design Leads like?
Are there a lot of leads/directors that focus too much on visuals, not as much on solving customer problems or is that just a noise I see online?

Quick prototype update on our modular macro keyboard project.
We’re experimenting with something a bit different from traditional mechanical macropads: touch controls integrated directly into decorated glass and carbon fiber, with finger guides so you can still find the controls without looking.
For this prototype we tested one of our capacitive sensors behind the glass, measured the raw capacitance in different finger positions, and built a vibe-coded filter to distinguish between the resting position and an intentional touch.
And… it works :D
The concept we’re working toward includes:
Next step is connecting the prototype to actual PC software and games and seeing how it feels in real workflows.
Would love some feedback: what would you want to see us test next? And if anyone here is interested in early prototype and giving us useful feedback, we’re looking for beta testers.
Hi Everyone, I had this Idea for a very long time, never had the full confidence of taking this further. I want to know your thoughts on this.
So I want to start a Product Development Consultancy (Hardware) which provides Ideation, Concept, Design, Simulation/FEA, Prototyping, Manufacturing, Supply chain.
From Computer to real-world end to end product development services. I have experience working in Robotics and Product Development in CAD, FEA, Manufacturing and NPI and had friends with CAD, Jigs and fixtures design experience. So we want to start this firm.
Seeing the growth of hardware R&D and Manufacturing in India. I'm thinking that it will be a great idea..
I don't know it might be wrong. Need your inputs on this
I have been thinking about the point where a reference image stops helping a product or design review.
Early on, a screenshot or pin can be enough to say this is the mood. Later, the same image can turn into background noise unless someone labels the specific decision it is supposed to support.
I am starting to prefer fewer references in the review view, with a plain note next to each one. Color direction, interaction example, layout density, tone, or avoid this.
When you are reviewing visual direction with teammates, do you keep the original pile visible, or only the few references tied to decisions?
I just got out of grad school and started my first full time job as a product designer in nyc two months ago. The work has been great and I'm building some thoughtful features; there is a great balance between extensive UX research and interface building, but beyond my job, how do I grow as a designer? How do I make time to build new products and ideas? How should I balance my time and set goals?
P.S. I take a lot of inspiration from designers and pages such as meshtimes, Femke, Google Design.
Hey guys,
I’m building a prototype for a portable beverage chiller capsule and need your honest feedback on the alpha build! The current design uses an insulated shell lined with Nitrile foam and a removable "bandolier" of custom phase-change gel packs. It wraps tightly around a standard can or juice bottle for maximum thermal contact while completely preventing the gel from slumping.
I want to upgrade this from a functional DIY prototype into a premium, manufacturing-ready beta product. What do you think of the overall concept and material choices so far? Please drop your critiques and let me know what features, closures, or design tweaks I should add to improve it.
We are making a prototype as simple as possible with available materials and go for industry grade materials for beta prototype. Correction to the image : the fiam covers entirely and we place pcm packs on it.
Hi all, I'm looking for a product/industrial designer to help design custom bottles for a fragrance brand. Please share any recommendations or leads. Thank you!
