Cleveland Institute of Art Pre-College

In the summer of 2023, I enrolled in a 3D Modeling for Inventive Design class at the Cleveland Institute of Art (CIA), where I gained foundational knowledge for a career in industrial design and other design fields. Throughout the program, I acquired skills in rendering various materials on Procreate and using a 3D CAD program. During the first week, our focus was on the product design process. Each night, we created approximately 15 concept sheets for new products, emphasizing ergonomics and functionality. Moving into the second week, we had the creative freedom to design any product using the skills we had acquired. With the guidance of my professor, I successfully integrated sketching, 3D printing, 3D modeling, rendering, and conceptual skills to develop a functional mirror stand.
