• How does industrial design work?

  Renee Eaton Engineering

  The popularity of industrial design (also known as product design) has accelerated due, in part, to a new wave of designers and advances in technology, materials, processes and capabilities that have dramatically improved the design options available to clients.

  Michael J. Berens Construction & Building Materials

  ​Builders have come a long way from the days when putting in a ramp, some grab bars and maybe a wheel-chair accessible bathroom was regarded as design for aging.
