Product development teams
Often, designers will also create physical models out of clay, wood, and other materials to give clients a better idea of what the finished product will look like. Many designers use computer-aided design tools to create designs and machine-readable instructions that can direct automated production tools to build the designed product to exact commercial interior design specifications. After conducting research and consulting with a creative director or other members of the product development team, designers then create detailed sketches or renderings. Next, designers prepare conceptual sketches or diagramsby hand or with the aid of a computerto illustrate their vision of the product.
