Michael Paterson, IDSA | TEAGUE
Senior Designer
IDSA Northwest Chapter – Social Coordinator
I am currently a Senior Industrial Designer with TEAGUE consulting primarily on experience design and working out of the Aviation Studio in Greater Seattle.
I was previously a key member of a world class team at Philips Design responsible for the design identity and direction setting for future product ranges. I was involved in both N+1 projects as well as conceptual work and have also been regularly involved in external market projects for Philips Design Consulting.
Working in Asia, I was heavily involved in collaborating with design and R&D teams within Philips and also directly with manufacturers & model makers in Hong Kong, Singapore, Europe & China. I am highly qualified at working together with Chinese manufacturers in product development and understand the ways of working to ensure that the vision of the product is managed and achieved.
I enjoy collaborating in strong cross competency design teams involving; User Experience, Communications, Material and Finishing, Product Graphics and Trends teams.
Many of my projects have received honors in international design awards including; Red Dot, iF Product, INDEX and The President’s Design Award.
