François Hurtaud began his design career as a studio designer in 2008, after graduating with a Master’s degree in Advanced Studies in Cross-Cultural Design at Shanghai University, China as well as a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design at L’Ecole de Design de Nantes, France. Hurtaud then oversaw the design teams of several major consumer goods companies, demonstrating his insightful understanding of social and sustainable design, cross-cultural design, as well as the precarious balance of function and form in luxury design and production. Since an early age, Hurtaud was instilled with a passion for art, science and technology, cultivated through his education and apprenticeship in the field of design. Imparted with the opportunity to work in different countries and continents, at agencies and companies that explored multitude design aspects, he now considers design to be an equation – attempting to discover creative solutions that balance functionality and aesthetics, sustainability and profitability, and viability and legitimacy. Hurtaud’s designs have been bestowed with multiple international design awards and accolades, including Good Design Award, Red Dot Design Award, German Design Award and A' Design Award. Today, Hurtaud runs his own multi-disciplinary boutique design agency between Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur, delivering human-centric design solutions highlighted by their sustainable approaches, to consumer product companies in both the mass market and luxury sectors. 6 personnes dans leur équipe

En savoir plus sur InnovationDescription Industrial Design: We specialize in creating innovative and functional products that meet the needs of our client's target users. We begin every project by conducting thorough user observation to gain insights into their behavior, preferences, and pain points. These insights are used to inform our product idea generation process, which is supported by 3D CAD modeling and technical drawings. We pay close attention to product aesthetics while ensuring ergonomics are taken into consideration during the design phase.

Through every step of this process, our focus remains on delivering impactful solutions that resonate with target audiences while staying true to the client's vision for their brand. Digital Experience: We create intuitive user flows that guide users through their interactions with your website or mobile app, ensuring they have an enjoyable experience every step of the way. We start by creating detailed wireframes that outline the structure and layout of each page, giving us a solid foundation from which to build upon. From there, we focus on designing a clean and modern user interface that is easy to navigate and visually appealing. Whether you need web design or mobile app development services, we are adept at tailoring our approach to suit specific needs. Sustainability: Even if sustainability is not part of the initial design brief, we integrate eco-design principles into our process. We focus on optimization to ensure that each product has minimal impact on the environment while still maintaining its functionality and aesthetic appeal. We carefully select materials that are environmentally friendly with a low carbon footprint throughout their lifecycle. Additionally, all designs prioritize reparability to extend their lifespan and reduce waste production by making it easy to disassemble or repair them when necessary. With these methods incorporated into every project, we aim to make a significant contribution towards creating a more sustainable future through responsible design practices.Compétences en Product Management (8) Brand StrategyProduct DesignIndustrial DesignBrand CreationBrand BuildingIndustrial EngineeringSustainable DesignElectrical EngineeringProjets en Product Management (5) Clients en Product Management (4) Exclusive VenueImmobilier | localFrancois Hurtaud X TektosBiens et services industriels | regionalMYKU Ltd.Luxe et Joaillerie | internationalYootenselProduits ménagers | local
