Our industrial designers see products that don’t exist; they also see how to improve those that do. They think in multiple dimensions, with a sense of purpose and function. An industrial designer’s life is a convergence of two things: curiosity and criticism. Two hundred years ago, our students would’ve been called inventors. Today, they’re designers, with the vision to reinvent and advance the tools and toys of everyday life.
