Hi All!
My name is Peter and I love design. I’m mostly an industrial designer, but I also love the integration of other disciplines to inform design. I’m in my second year for my MS Design degree, and it's been a great ride so far. Before Stanford, I’ve worked in different industries- Gov’t/scientific equipment, Agritech, transportation design, food vending machines, etc. However, the world of civil engineering and environmental design is new to me – and it's a fascinating space! I think many of the approaches done in this space can be applied to industrial design to make it more human-focused. I love the idea of optimizing and generating ideas based on users’ needs and constraints. I can see this class being very beneficial.
I’m joining the class a little later than I wanted, as I just finalized my schedule. I look forward to catching up!
