David Turpin Designer - Case studies

For every project, I work in close collaboration with my clients to ensure that every step, from the initial mood-board

to the final proposal is perfectly aligned with their vision and needs.

Case studie 01

Client: PDC Europe sleeving systems (France)

Project: Ergonomic and aesthetic guarding design for a packaging reject unit.

To ensure technical feasibility and project alignment, I held weekly syncs with PDC's engineering team.

This close collaboration allowed us to validate design choices in real-time and stay on the right

track throughout the development.

Reference machine example and overview of the work conducted to enhance ergonomics and develop the aesthetic

identity of future PDC machines.

01. Client existing design for reference

02. Formal exploration: From initial research to the two selected directions.

03. Concept Merging & Refinement: Fusing the best features into a single, cohesive design.

04. Final Renderings: High-fidelity visualizations of the selected design.

Case studie 02

Client: FLIT (United Kingdom)

Project: Design and development of a lightweight electric folding bike.

To ensure technical feasibility and seamless project alignment, I held weekly technical reviews with FLIT’s engineering team. This close collaboration allowed us to validate design solutions in real-time, ensuring that every aesthetic choice was fully integrated with the bike's complex folding mechanics and electric systems.
