Why
Industrial Design?
I love bringing ideas to life. Industrial design has been the perfect middle ground between engineering, psychology, and art for me. I enjoy the fact that I can sketch an idea, then develop it into a real-life product.

The studio culture at K-State's Industrial Design program has been incredible. Over time, I’ve grown close with my studio mates as we’ve navigated college together. We’ve developed our design philosophies, sharpened our skills, and matured as individuals. The memories I have here are ones I’ll hold on to for a long time.
