Ridzman Bin Ahmad

For almost 9 years I have been creating products that solves today’s life problems. I am a Industrial Design professional with experiences in multiple product lines. I have designed for both in-house products and high portfolio international clients such as Warner Brothers, Philip Morris and Daiso Japan to name a few. The products which I designed covers homewares, decor and functional pewter products, and currently the lead designer for consumer electronic devices(e-cigarette) in NCIG Malaysia; carrying with me pewter, plastics and alloy knowledge. My scope within a project development covers from product analysis, concept design, digital sketching and rendering, CMF analysis, UI/UX journey, EVT analysis, Prototype development, Packaging structure design and Production sample with cost control and feasibility requirements. I am detailed in my developments with product analysis and product positioning strategy to support my concepts. I believe that my open-mindedness, adaptable, resilient behaviour and collaborative approach with my peers has been key when I immerse myself in different working cultures. Most of my designs are still sold in stores till today and that enforces my beliefs even more, so please ask for my portfolio if you are interested!

My joy and fulfillment in my career comes from a persons honest reactions when holding my designs and learning something new from it.
