I gather valuable broad based, multi medium research, additionally considering environmental, cost, safety and maintenance issues and analysing where human values may conflict and compromise has to be achieved. I can reformulate design problems, resolve criteria clashes and clarify hierarchies. Competently, I specify needs, requirements, opportunities and constraints, which subsequently influence my design developments. Imaginatively I can respond to the specification, additionally using a variety of approaches, for example biomimicry and user-centred design, to generate creative, innovative, functional and appealing products that respond to a variety of situations and avoid design fixation. I take creative risks when making design decisions and decide which design criteria clash and determine, which should take priority. I carry out regular testing successfully which advances design developments that are Regularly I can test, evaluate and refine my ideas and products against my specification, considering intended users and other interested groups, ensuring good progression to future design developments and final prototype/s. I can reports well on further modifications required to improve performance, including in relation to life cycle analysis, positive and negative impacts, new and emerging technologies and the concept of, ‘cradle to grave’. I can produce accurate spreadsheets that consider cost savings and detailed, technical/production plans, with timeframes, that communicate well to a third party. I can work independently, flexibly, accurately and safely with a broad range of resources, exploiting CAD/CAM, developing new skills as required. I undertake demanding and complex work incorporating multiple, justified modifications. My final prototype(s) meet user requirements and have market potential.
