Sarah Reed came to speak to us last week about her experience in the design field. She studied Mathematics as an undergraduate, and later developed an interest in industrial design. Because her undergraduate experience had been more mathematically rather than artistically focused, Sarah attended graduate school for mechanical engineering. She was able to do many of the things that industrial designers do, but through a engineer's lense. I am particularly interested in industrial design because you are design something to be useful for others. It was amazing to see the different products that she had helped to produce. As an architecture major, I would love to be on the more artistic side of product design. However, as architects or designers there is sometimes a disconnect between practical use and esthetic. It was interesting to hear her talk us through the process of how they came up with their leg compression product, and the different ways in which they collect data for the project.
