Welcome to Phil Cater Design
Latest Tweet from @philcater :
Phil recently graduated from Nottingham Trent University where he obtained a degree in furniture and product design. The four year course included the development of both furniture and products.
During his degree Phil spent 6 months working for Hutchinson furniture working on bespoke oak furniture and interiors. This was then followed by 9 months with British furniture manufacturer naughtone working on the development of new products, visualisation and space planning.
His final year at university led to the creation of a range of lights, tables and soft seating. The focus of these products was on quality finishing, graphic styling and user focus. This interest in the user was highlighted in a research paper looking at diabetics and the preconceptions that surround the condition and how products can be developed to reduce this.
Phil is now actively seeking employment in the design industry and in the meantime is developing his own products and manufacturing partnerships.
Skills
CAD
Phil has a range of CAD skills across many forms of software. His space planning skills have been demonstrated while working at Hutchinson furniture producing architectural and space plans using Autocad and Vectorworks. While at naughtone visualisation and presentation skills were utilised using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
An ability to model accurately in both Solidworks and 3D studio max and to produce realistic renders using Vray means Phil can offer a range of CAD skills across both 2D and 3D design.
Sketching
Phil is able to illustrate his ideas and thought process through confident sketch development work.
