Who are YOU?
My major is industrial design with concentration in product design and development. I'm interested in travel that offers opportunities to experience something new, active sports that I can involve myself in, and music that motivates me towards innovation.
What INSPIRES you?
Products that provide a lasting and sustainable solution to an issue in the modern world. The ability to create something that will be passed on to future generations is what inspires me the most.

What are your INFLUENCES?
My influences are people in history who swayed from the status quo to invent what hadn't been thought of before. This refers to those whom create products which solved a problem through methods which are unique to predecessors. A few direct examples include Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and James Dyson.
What is your VISION in your lifetime?
After graduation, my hope is to work on a team of industrial designers for a company that is interested in innovation with an overall goal to minimize our population's carbon footprint. After absorbing everything I can from working on a cutting-edge team, my goal is to have my own startup where I can follow through with any undeveloped ideas I had during this time.
Like the aesthetic you have developed, coordinates well with those who have influenced you.

"There’s a way to do it better—find it."
ReplyDeleteGreat quote. I think we often feel that we have to invent something the world has never seen, but so many products have been designed poorly that there's tons of opportunity for "creating a better mouse trap" all around us.
