Hello! My name is Josh McShanag. I am a 22-year-old Industrial Designer. I enjoy all facets of design which is what has led me to enjoy the scope of projects which Industrial Design has to offer. I have always been interested in how design affects people directly and indirectly throughout their daily lives. Seeing both the positive and negative results of design, I have always strived to design products that help people in any way possible and provide them with little moments of joy every day.
My experiences at uni have been sparse. Starting my course in 2020 saw my university education be confined within my own four walls as it gradually expanded out to the amazing collaborative experiences I have with me now. Whether it be group projects, completing a design challenge in Korea with my peers, or just talking shop with my teachers and friends it has become clear to me that collaboration is the heartbeat of a great designer. It has only helped my projects grow in strength at uni.
In that regard, moving forward I want to gain as much experience in as much of the industry as possible. If I ever want to be a great designer I am going to need to collaborate with as many talented designers as I can find. That is the next chapter which I am looking forward to.
