The product design course at Northumbria combines creative problem solving, 3D form and commercial viability. Learning everything from design thinking to 3D modelling and visual contextualisation, I believe it has given me a great start to my career. The way we are taught to think is the strongest part of this course, we are continually told to push the idea, change it, sometimes completely scrap it, it is this constant development that I will use for the rest of my life. Studying here has helped me understand how design can positively shape the world.
