Michal S.
Industrial Designer | Product Development | CAD
Selected experience: Bang & Olufsen, Design Storz, ÖSWAG Werft, RUF Porsche Automobile Hi, I'm Michał - an Industrial Designer focused on developing physical products from research and concept to CAD, prototyping, and design for manufacturing. I help startups and product companies turn ideas into functional, well-resolved products, combining technical problem-solving with a strong sense of form, proportion, and aesthetics. Top Rated Plus on Upwork, with 700+ hours spent on long-term physical product development projects. My work is best suited to design-led physical products where appearance, usability, CAD, prototyping, and manufacturing awareness need to come together. I usually look at new product projects through four areas: form, use, build, and make - so the product direction is clear before too much time is spent on detailed CAD. This includes consumer products, drinkware, bottles, containers, lighting, lifestyle objects, ergonomic products, mobility-related concepts, vehicle interior components, drone exteriors, enclosures, and products with light mechanisms or practical constraints. I can support projects through: Research and product direction Concept sketches and form development Industrial design and 3D CAD modelling Prototyping and 3D printing Design for manufacturing Product refinement before production Visualisation and presentation materials I regularly work with Rhino, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Blender, 3ds Max, Alias, and KeyShot. Depending on the project, I can also support material selection, component integration, prototype testing, supplier communication, and production-focused CAD refinement. My background includes industrial design studies in Kraków, mobility design at FH Joanneum in Graz, experience at Design Storz, and product work connected with Bang & Olufsen and ÖSWAG Werft. One of my strongest studio projects was a police boat concept for an Austrian shipyard, which was selected and built. If you are developing a physical product and need someone who can connect research, form, CAD, prototyping, and practical product development, feel free to send me a message.
