About
Design is fun! Simple as that. It's exciting to see a napkin sketch develop through ideation sketches and come to virtual life as a 3D computer model. It's messy, dirty, and often times tedious translating all that information into a tangible model, but it's also incredibly satisfying. Seeing that same product made from pre-production parts on your desk after all that hard work is insanely rewarding. And of course, walking through a store and seeing that idea on the shelves is just plain cool!
