Hi, I’m Doran Hunter-Haas.
Designer. Developer. Creative Thinker.
I work across 2D and 3D digital content creation, product development, and engineering design. I bring ideas to life by combining creative thinking with hands-on design expertise.
Designing With Purpose
I’m a designer with a multidisciplinary mindset and a passion for building meaningful, innovative products. With experience across industries — from automotive engineering to sustainable design — I merge creativity with practical problem-solving.
Currently, I teach Product Design and Engineering Design at the University of Portsmouth, guiding the next generation of makers and thinkers. My professional journey has taken me through Germany, France, and the UK, shaping how I approach design on a global scale.
Where I’ve Been
• Teaching Fellow at University of Portsmouth – Present
• Product Manager at WW & Friends (Germany) – 1 year
• Design Engineer at Forvia Automotive (Germany) – 4 years
• Assistant Designer at Vegetal Atmosphere (France) – 1 year
• MBA in Management for Engineers – FH Bielefeld (Germany)
• BSc (Hons) in Computer Aided Product Design – University of Portsmouth
This mix of academic and industry experience keeps me sharp, curious, and always evolving.
What I Bring to the Table
From initial concept to final render, I’m comfortable in every stage of the design process. My skills include:
• 2D/3D Digital Content Creation
• Product Development
• CAD & Rendering
• User-Centered Design
• Engineering Thinking
• Cross-Cultural Collaboration
• Team Leadership & Project Management
I’m also fluent in bridging the gap between technical performance and design intent.
Design is Never Finished
I believe great design is a moving target: always evolving, always improving. I stay curious, experiment often, and love working on ideas that challenge conventional thinking.
Whether I’m building a physical product, shaping an interface, or mentoring students, I bring the same energy: passionate, motivated, and grounded in real-world problem-solving.
Let’s Build Something Great Together
