Hi, I’m Beka Pratov, a product designer with 10+ years across premium consumer products, branding, and UX. I’ve delivered manufacturable hardware, packaging, and brand-consistent digital experiences for Philips, JDE Peet’s, Wavin and independent clients using 3D CAD (Rhino, Fusion 360, SolidWorks), Figma, rapid prototyping and CMF. I focus on translating abstract positioning into tactile systems—materials, finishes, labeling and presentation—while aligning with manufacturing constraints. I work fast, collaboratively, and am comfortable on-site in the Netherlands to ship high-quality deliverables on tight timelines.
