Design to me
My Industrial Design journey actually starts with 3 semesters of Mechanical Engineering. After realizing I wasn’t going to have the ability to use my creative skill set I switched to Industrial Design and have never looked back. Industrial design has given me endless possibility for growth and knowledge. The skills I learn in the classroom are skills in which have aided me in my own design. I am determined and driven in my studies because I found what has truly made me happy. Striving for perfection, I often find myself in the studio trying to produce the best possible product. Below is a collection of projects that I have had the pleasure of working on.
