This portfolio is crazy good! And I like how he just post all the rendering first then back to the process. There are not that much words, the works shows his skills. Love it!
This is amazing! I never knew it was one guy who was designing all these incredible DJI products, what a man! Thanks for creating a video that shares all this info Jimmy!
P.S @ 4:39 you're on the right track, the red rings are to signify that those propellers belong on the red-lined arms. Regular props on FPV drones don't always have that indication and thus it can be easy to put on a prop the wrong way, so this is a pretty genius user solution!
Hello, I am a new industrial designer who has been working for more than two years and is considering changing jobs. When I was preparing my portfolio, I was confused. The portfolio during my university time required more to show your design thinking ability, the production process, etc., and the rendering and final model were only a part of it. However, when I observe the portfolios of many professional designers, I find that they choose to include more beautiful renderings or videos, and the hand-drawn or production process will only be included in a few or not at all. And in my current job, I don't complete the whole project like I did in college, usually only responsible for a part of it. So when making a job-seeking design portfolio, which type of form should I follow?
Great renderings and sketch exploration. Is this design for a specific function other than recreation? Making things look cool is good for sure, but industrial design can be more than just making things look “cool”. The design is great, but doesn’t tell the whole story. What is it for, where does it live, storage? Who is the user? Outside of being a great looking drone, how is it different than other drones? Looks like a good start, but I think you could add some more information to show a bigger story. Nice work though!
The images with the drone in environment could be a lot more impactful and exciting if the drone was sitting just outside the image and on the negative white space of the website.
I like your videos. I studied industrial product desing and my degree is associate and I'm going to study bachelor's degree but before graduating I have a really good desing idea a new product but I really dont know how to make it real how to get investment on my project. P.S. I live in Turkey and making a prototype is kinda expensive for me. So I wonder if you can help me.
Hey thanks for the comment brotha! Yes, outside of all the program license, prototyping is the next most expensive thing in our design process. Getting 3D prints created, buying parts for bashing, hardware, paints, tools...it can really add up. Only advice I can give is to be mindful about everything you buy, but it is inevitable that there will be a cost to creating prototypes. Think of it as an investment that will hopefully pay you back with a kick ass portfolio that will get you a well paying job in the future.
i'm an fpv pilot and i have a question: is it a win or a fail to design a really cool product that dosen't do what is ment for? or is only about how many unit it solds?
it is always about the design that make sales first. If it didn't really meet the users need, there are going to redesign to meet that needs. Later, it would be launched as a new product/ upgraded version.
Fantastic question...The majority of consumer electronic products are created from a team of many different disciplines. Mechanical, electrical, and software engineers, technical testers, UX/UI designers, ODM factories, Prototypers, Graphics designers, and industrial designers to name a few. The overall user experience of these products are only as strong as the weakest link team. For DJI, it's certainly not their design team.
Great 3d Portfolio, but I think its very 3d heavy, not enough sketching showing the story of its development.... Can you see how this guy is thinking from just two pages of 2d sketching? 20:07
What i've noticed is when a designer has such an incredible super power, they tend to lean heavy on it. However, there is something to consider about showing "too much" development work performed in a company that may not want their employees to reveal. Certainly is a fine line we designers must play with when presenting our work online.

i just find out he is the designer of all those products, a truly beast of a designer. Big Inspo!

You're a superhero for such an open and inspiring critique of an inspiring portfolio, Jimmy! Thank you!
Hey Bran, thank you so much man.
extremly nice portfolio!!! I love the focus on the process.
The red ring propellers spin counter clockwise and the blades are reversed too
The portfolio looks amazing....
I want to does just good rendering is enough for being product designer... Or the design MUST b functional also.....
A lot of the reasons why the renders look good is because the product is function...it must be functional or else why make the product?

I like hearing you talk lol
It's easy to aprehense
Really amazing work, very talented designer, I kike it!
Everyone of us will soon have a chinese boss.
The sketches are not pretty?? They are f**ng awesome.
