Story

Since I was a kid, I always enjoyed drawing, creating or just pinning nails into the wooden planks at my father’s workshop. Fifteen years later I have found myself doing just the same thing, except instead of hearing “Hey lad, good job with the nails, but it was quite windy, wasn’t it?” I should receive (hopefully) Master degree.

Questions like – how does it work and why – were typical for my childhood and kind of stuck with me until today, where I use them maybe even more frequently. (Still trying convince myself that it is normal)  It were these questions which brought me to university – the opportunity to understand how the things work and the chance to design them better.     
 
Studying Industrial design shows me different perspectives how to perceive design itself and its impact on our lives. At university, I have the pleasure to be with inspiring people, learn from them and develop our concepts together.

I have found that Service design is very close to the Industrial design, because everything around us is somehow designed and it is not about the shape, but how does it work and how it interacts with us, no matter on the type of the outcome.

Due to fast changing environment, creating new job titles/positions it is a bit complicated to put myself in exact position and I think that they are kind of blending together, so there is no exact definition and that is why I see myself as multi-disciplinary designer.
