Having spent the past 3 quartiles in Industrial Design, I have been able to transition my mindset from that of an engineer to a designer. Additionally, starting this study has also made me realize that industrial design is not just product design, especially in the aspect of including user involvement in the design process. Over the Quartiles, I have come to learn and appreciate the importance of human centered design; design is not just about creating products, but also crafting experiences for the user, understanding their needs and wants. This learning experience has led me to incorporate the importance of human needs into my vision as well. Additionally, over the past quartiles I was able to accumulate various skills, such as improving my CAD knowledge, and gaining experience in Adobe suite apps to use in my projects.Outside of university, I realize that the design process is applicable in other areas such as my hobbies. I recently started making my main hobby of restoring bikes, professionally. I now volunteer in a non-profit project, where my task is to restore unclaimed bikes. I applied my experiences in projects into these bikes, as they are projects in themselves, and I noticed that the workflow is now much more structured than when I was doing it recreationally, before I had learned about the design process and the frameworks involved. Now, I restore these bikes with focus on EAs such as creativity & aesthetics, and technology and realization.
