Imagining , Improving and Inventing Math In Design
Author: Sarah Williams
A designer can
mean many
different
things. Fashion
designers, graphic designers, and
interior designers all lay claim to
the title. The common thread is
creativity and a desire to enhance
people's lives. Here, we meet
three product designers.
Kevin Carpenter is a chief engineer at a company that designs items we use every day, like laptops, asthma inhalers, and laundry dryers. But his company has also taken on projects born in extreme conditions, like walkie talkies used in combat zones and a vest that cools workers in hazardous heat. Michael Hiller is a design and engineering consultant who creates computer simulations that test how technology will perform.
This approach allows him to work with tiny products like microscopic components of a cell phone, as well as large designs like giant marine platforms, all from the comfort of the computer. His simulations help his clients improve their designs before they commit resources to production.
