Future
In the far future I want to become a innovative, out of the box thinking, designer, who has a lot of experience in different fields in order to bring people together. I want to design easy to use products that are simple, fun and functional at the same time.
My near future is quite uncertain at Industrial Design. Due to changes in the educational system nothing is completely sure on how projects will combine with assignments or electives. I have mentioned a few favoured choises, though its not sure if they will be given next year. Therefor I haven't made a clear draft PDP, which I will make when the new educational programm is clear.
Some general things however are fixed, is the design-process I want to use. Switch earlier and more frequently between process phases wil help to gain more user-test proven concepts. The professional approach of the last project is something I want to keep in my design-process. Having a client has proved to have substancial benefits of pushing me to get the best out of myself.
I submitted for the USE learning line Quality of Life. The main focus lays upon Social-Cultural Awareness and focusses on different aspects of health and wellbeing. I realated my choise to my identity and my willingness to help people.
TU/ecomotive will also be a learningful experience that I intend to become part of. Working in this multi-disciplenary team will make me more competent in a lot of matters and will broaden my network of experts on different fields.
I also want to commit more with the experts at Industrial Design and fellow students. This will help to learn quicker and stimulate my development.
Apart of networking, I want to set up systems for myself in order to make a good planning and work efficiently.
Lastly, I want to better convey my thoughts to others by means of a sketching course and getting better at visuals and animated videos.
