Guset Speaker

Hello everyone,

This week we have a guest speaker coming in to give a presentation, Wednesday 2/3/10 at 4:45pm in room 815. Bradford Waugh is an AiPH Industrial Design alumni, and he is coming in to share his experiences.

Brad is going to talk briefly about his school experience, share about his working experience and what he learned from it. He would like to share an article he wrote for Product Design Hub which covers 5 points new grads and all design students should know and work on apart from design skills. The last thing he would like to do is offer a portfolio review. Depending on the time left over he would like to take a look at student work and give some feedback. So students are welcome to bring in some of their work if they would like to receive feedback.
