Why am I drawn to industrial design? Because I am endlessly fascinated with objects. The function, shape, and purpose. Because it is creative in that a product is conceptualized from an idea; practical because it requires the right tools, technical abilities, and problem-solving skills; and human-based because it requires analysis of behavior and interactions with the product. Design goes beyond visual appeal and I believe that designers play a crucial role in shaping our relationship with objects. Industrial design appeals to me because the discipline covers a broad range of areas. In general, designers are problem solvers and have a broad range of skills that include drawing and modeling. These skills can be both physical (i.e. making models) or digital (i.e. computer modeled). The process itself encompasses all aspects from research to sketching to building prototypes to refining the model for production. These processes allow for creativity to play a central role in the design process. The range of products that designers can create includes everyday objects like a chair, a telephone, packaging, and utensils as well as complex designs like medical equipment, transportation systems, and more. Designing objects is an interesting endeavor as the designer must take ergonomics, aesthetics, and functionality into consideration. It requires one to be curious and eager to explore. To think critically, build upon ideas through making, and explore new directions through iteration and experimentation. As such, I enjoy the process of making and getting feedback from others in a studio environment. Beyond designing an aesthetically pleasing product, designers must be socially responsible and design products that are durable, functional, and easily accessible. We live in a world facing challenges like waste, climate change, and resource distribution. As such, it is important to design products that will last, have little negative environmental impact, are inclusive, and easy to maintain or repair. Through studying industrial design, I would like to learn the methods necessary to transform my ideas into tangible and functional objects that can exist in our world.

My desire to pursue industrial design stems primarily from my interest in combining several areas which I find most interesting: the creative aspect of art, problem solving, technology, and the ability to understand the needs of individuals. From a very young age, I was fascinated with the creation of products and how they functioned. This fascination led to the realization that there are many products that appear simple, yet were designed with specific intentions. Some products are more successful than others at achieving their intended purpose. What drew me to the area of industrial design was not just to make aesthetically pleasing products. I wanted to be involved in the development of products that improve the lives of consumers on a variety of levels (i.e., where you live, work, travel, etc.). All types of products, including those we encounter every day (e.g., chairs, telephones, packaging, kitchen utensils) and more complex items (e.g., medical equipment, sustainable transportation), can all be shaped by the product designer. I am intrigued by the process of first determining if a consumer has identified a need for a product. Once a potential product idea is determined, a researcher will conduct studies regarding the user population. Next, sketches are developed to visually communicate the concept of the new product. After developing initial prototype designs, researchers will test these models to determine the effectiveness of each design element. This iterative design cycle continues until a final product is created. I appreciate both aspects of the product design process. An additional reason I wish to pursue a degree in Industrial Design is to utilize my artistic skill set combined with model building techniques and computer-based software, and materials science to address ergonomic issues related to the production of goods and various manufacturing methods. Additionally, I have particular interests within industrial design that relate to sustainability and social responsibility. There are many problems that exist today that cannot be ignored (e.g., pollution, inequality in resource distribution). Product designers have significant opportunities to create products that minimize harm to society and reduce environmental damage. Therefore, it is essential for designers to produce durable products that may require repairs over time, provide equitable usage options for all demographics, and offer environmentally friendly alternatives to existing practices. Ideally, when designing a product, I want to think critically about all of the design decisions I make so that they not only provide aesthetic appeal and functionality, but also assess the positive impacts on society and the longevity of my products. Attending school for industrial design will enable me to acquire the technical skills necessary to convert my concepts into viable solutions. Also, attending school for industrial design will give me the creative freedom and critical thinking abilities required to turn ideas into actual realities. I am enthusiastic about working within collaborative environments, receiving constructive criticism from peers and mentors alike and learning from their diverse experiences. Although good design involves being curious, patient, experimental and resilient, I believe that studying industrial design provides an ideal environment for me to continually improve my concepts via research and design iterations. In conclusion, I wish to attend college for industrial design because it represents a tangible means for me to apply my creativity toward producing positive results in the world.
