Why Industrial Design?


How did I get into industrial design in the first place…

Honestly I didn’t even know the term “industrial design” until my freshman year at university, but the more I learned about it, the more intrigued I got.  I soon realized that my initial interest in graphic design was being replaced by my newfound passion for this industrial design. But why the switch from 2D designs to 3D?

Truly it’s because… I…love…things


I love things that are clever, playful and simple.

I love things that are cool, that make me want to have them. I love intricate things.

I love modular things. I love things that surprise me or make me think differently.

I love building, making and being able to touch what I make. It is this obsession of things that make me love industrial design for what it is, making things.
