Raluca Vescan

Award-winning multidisciplinary industrial designer specialized in outdoor and sports gear, bags, travel accessories, gadgets and homewares. Let me help you launch new consumer products that make the world a better place to live in!

Versatile like a Swiss Army knife, experienced and pragmatic, creative and enthusiastic, interested in the whole process of problem-solving and design: research, brainstorming, concept development, prototyping and proposals of cost-efficient solutions based on realistic factory possibilities, careful revisions and finally market implementation.

I create solutions by placing myself right in the middle of things, carefully considering the needs of the client, the end-user, factory possibilities, technological innovations and challenging market forces - I am "design glue", I create better products by bringing many diverging factors to a harmonious middle-ground.

"I love solving problems and nothing makes me happier than inventing and designing products that people will not only use but enjoy using over and over again."
