Overview
Zukarra was the result of identifying a commercial need for the specialised design skills required for Xanita’s product range, specifically with regard to finished goods. I started the company to incorporate other design disciplines through a contracted freelancer model, which allowed the business to capitalise on revenue opportunities outside of the direct skill set of industrial designers and therefore create a more diversified client base. This was coupled with an expansion of services from pure design into production management and on-site implementation.
Focus Areas:
- Design, production management, on-site implementation.
- Roles and responsibilities:
- Product design
- Product development
- Production and manufacturing development
- Project management
- Account management
- Financial management
