Why did I become an Industrial Designer?

 

Interestingly I didn't learn about industrial design until right before college. I have a variety of interests and industrial design is the perfect combination of said interests that touch on all aspects from marketing, packaging, manufacturing, and most importantly applied design. I am able to create functional art with purpose and people in mind. When I was deciding between majors and colleges, I visited the CSULB campus and got the opportunity to enter the design building. Walking down the hallways I was surrounded by these giant poster boards of previous student projects and I was fascinated by the variety of content I saw around me. In that moment I realized that everything in our lives is affected by industrial design whether we realize it or not. Because of this, I have the opportunity to affect lives. As I have stated in my vision: I can create products that free people from inconveniences, they are proud to own, and inspire people to think about how they live and interact with the world around them.
