Bringing ideas to life: Meet Graduate Technical Designer, Max Santer

From developing early concepts, to producing detailed technical drawings, Graduate Technical Designer Max shares his experience at Endpoint, what he’s learned so far, and how exploring new ideas keeps his role exciting.

What did you study, and what made you want to pursue a career in design?

I studied Product Design at De Montfort University in Leicester. I’ve always been drawn to how things look, feel, and work, and I love the challenge of bringing an idea to life. There’s something really rewarding about watching a simple concept grow into a real product, and that journey is what made me want to build a career in design.

What does a typical day look like for you at Endpoint?

A typical day is always varied, which is one of the things I enjoy the most. I get to be hands-on with exciting projects, working on anything from developing early concepts, to producing detailed technical drawings. No two days feel the same, and there’s always something new to learn or get stuck into.

What do you enjoy most about your role and working at Endpoint?

What I enjoy most is the freedom to explore ideas and push concepts further. Every day brings something different, which keeps the work exciting and fresh. I also love how collaborative it is, everyone in the team is open and supportive which makes the creative process even more rewarding.

What is the biggest thing you've learned so far?

One thing I’ve learned is how to quickly explore and develop ideas, taking concepts from rough sketches to more refined directions at pace. I’ve also had the chance to learn new software like Illustrator, which has really expanded the way I can bring my ideas to life.

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

I try to fit in a bit of tennis or golf when I can. I’m still new to London, so I’ve been enjoying just getting out and exploring the city, finding my way around, trying new places, and seeing what’s out there.

What advice would you give someone who's wanting to study design?

My advice is to just dive in head-first. Don’t be afraid to experiment, make mistakes, and try out new ideas, that’s where the real learning happens. And most importantly, enjoy it. I think when you’re having fun with the process, that’s when your creativity really comes alive.
