Description:



The Product Design program trains flexible, intelligent, and technologically savvy designers. Graduates are particularly skilled as collaborators and researchers whose interdisciplinary approaches distinguish them among their peers. Students learn to conceive thoughtful and innovative consumer products that address domestic environments, meet specialized needs, and facilitate the individual's activities in daily life. They also seek new applications for traditional practices and sustainable approaches to natural materials. The curriculum explores the design processes through which a product is conceived, developed, fabricated, and marketed. Students confront the fuller scope of marketing strategies and theories of ethical practices, while drawing upon New York City's professional and cultural resources.
