When grappling with intricate design concepts, convey them effectively to engineers by breaking down complex ideas into clear, manageable parts. Use detailed sketches, diagrams, and digital models to visually communicate your vision. Hold regular meetings to discuss concepts and answer questions. Create comprehensive documentation with clear specifications and guidelines. Encourage a collaborative environment where engineers feel comfortable sharing their insights and concerns. Utilize project management tools to track progress and ensure alignment. By maintaining open communication and providing clear, visual information, you can bridge the gap between design and engineering.

The core issue of complex designs is to not break them down into parts that cause a loss of continuity between elements. Often, complexity is the dynamic value of the design. The design should be first outlined from the perspective of end use by the target customer. Then, defining the core dependencies on the disciplines involved, such as mechanical, electrical, user interface, industrial design, etc. should be presented, often in diagrams and illustrations, in context of the functional target. From this, a project brief, with description of goals, functional specifications, target pricing, challenges to be overcome, market sensitivities, competitive environment, customer expectations, and summary of possible solutions is created.

Designing is to communicate thoughts visually with efficiency. When the engineering part becomes a challenge, then designers make it more friendly to the user.

When explaining complex designs to engineers, I use a structured, data-driven approach grounded in engineering principles. I start by deconstructing designs into functional modules, mapping inputs, outputs, and interdependencies. I utilize 3D CAD models, exploded views, FEA, and CFD simulations to validate performance under real-world conditions. Every design ties to JIS, ISO, or ASTM standards, supported by material datasheets, manual calculations, and FMEA analyses. I provide GD&T drawings and leverage iterative reviews with cross-functional teams. Combining visual clarity, quantitative validation, and practical insights, I ensure designs are testable, manufacturable, and deployable

For us engineers, a good display must be advanced to a great display, putting all focus and attention on the details! No concepts ignored or put aside, just make those years of schooling and personal creative thoughts come forth to show you got what it takes!
