Available to hire
Hi, I’m Herman Lau. I’m a multi-talented Industrial Designer with over 15 years of experience turning concepts into production-ready products. I specialize in visual design for manufacturing and retail displays, packaging design with external partners, and a proven ability to guide projects from concept through prototyping to final production.
I thrive in collaborative environments, translating stakeholder needs into feasible design solutions, creating compelling presentations, and staying within budget and production constraints. I’m currently exploring freelance, part-time opportunities to bring my design, CAD, and prototyping skills to new challenges.
