Hello, I’m Diego, a passionate 3D jewelry designer with 39 years of experience in the jewelry industry. I specialize in helping jewelers, workshops, and start-ups from various countries bring their designs to life by creating high-quality 3D models that seamlessly align with their production processes. Whether you have sketches, photos, or just an idea, I’ll transform your concepts into stunning, production-ready 3D models, with custom quotes based on the complexity of each project. My career as a jeweler-craftsman began in 1983 when I studied art, jewelry, and chiselling. During that time, I even designed and created my own tools. This hands-on experience has given me a deep understanding of jewelry craftsmanship, allowing me to create 3D models that are not only visually striking but also technically sound and tailored to the manufacturing process. Unlike many designers, my experience extends beyond digital design—I have actually crafted my own pieces, set stones, polished, and worked with the physical pieces. This hands-on experience has given me a unique insight into the technical details and the needs of the production process, enabling me to create designs that are more functional and easier to execute. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of jewelry styles and honed my skills in 3D printing, ensuring that every model I create is ready for flawless production. My commitment to quality and precision has helped my clients achieve their design goals on time and within budget. I’d love to show you some examples of my work. Let’s connect to discuss how I can help bring your designs to life and optimize your production process! Best regards, *All my models are guaranteed and checked up for errors with the latest 3d mesh analisis softwares.

How to Hire Top Product Designers

Whether you’re designing a physical or a digital product, you need someone who can gather product requirements and turn them into the initial designs that will be used to bring it to life.

So how do you hire product designers? What follows are some tips for finding top product designers on Upwork.

How to shortlist product design professionals

As you’re browsing available product design consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a product designer who understands the nuances and technical challenges of designing a product for your industry.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., designing the UI of a mobile app).
  • Feedback Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular product designer.

How to write an effective product design job post

With a clear picture of your ideal product designer in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective product design job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From 3D CAD files to 2D UI layouts, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or design tools, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

PRODUCT DESIGNERS FAQ

What is product design?

Product design is the process of designing a new product, from digital products such as mobile apps to physical products such as furniture. There are many approaches to product design, and the process can vary greatly depending on the type of product.

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in product design professionals:

  • Product design
  • 3D design
  • UI/UX design
  • Product-specific expertise (e.g., Adobe InDesign for creating print media products)

Why hire product designers?

The trick to finding top product designers is to identify your needs. What type of product are you trying to create? A product designer working on a physical product will likely need experience with CAD (computer-aided design) software. Someone designing a SaaS (software as a service) product will likely need experience with UX design. The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

How much does it cost to hire a product designer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced product designer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more specialized areas of expertise, and deliver a higher-quality product.
  • A freelancer who is still in the process of building a client base may price their product design services more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
