"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
GENERAL
My name is Mark Pelin. I was born and raised in The Netherlands. At the moment I live close to Rotterdam.
People often describe me as a friendly, reliable and honest guy. As a designer, I'm patient and precise in what I do.
NOW
In 2015 I successfully graduated from the Hogeschool Rotterdam with a bachelor in Industrial Design Engineering.
In my free time, I work with Adobe Creative Cloud. I like to explore new programs. I have been using Photoshop for a fairly long time and during my study I started using Illustrator and InDesign more often. I used Muse to create this website. Last but not least, I have basic experience with Adobe Lightroom, After Effects and Premiere Pro.
HISTORY
After finishing my high school at the Montessori Lyceum in Rotterdam, I moved to Romania for almost two years.
I developed myself as a person, gained new experiences and slowly started finding out what I would like to do in the future. After returning to The Netherlands in 2011, I started Industrial Design Engineering.

TOOLS USED DURING PHASE
A
D
T
ANALYSING
Research that serves as input for the design phase. This phase ends with a list of preferences and requirements, which is created together with the client. The expectations are clear.
DESIGNING
Creating multiple concepts for new products. These can also be concepts that solve problems with existing products, so they can be improved.
TESTING
Testing the concepts to check if the preferences and requirements are met. The test phase often leads to new analysing and designing phases. These "loops" further improve concepts.
Competitor analysis
User research
Sketching
Solidworks
3D printing
Preferences and requirements
"Great design is transparent."
