Matt Kressy - Industrial Designer

Matt Kressy is a product designer, industrial designer, Principal of Designturn, and Adjunct Faculty - Industrial Design at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). Matt came in and spoke to my Product Design and Dev class about industrial design. He covered the fascinating process of industrial design, which I knew very little about. It was interesting because it is so different from software. It is all about creating physical forms that provide functionality and that can be sold as a product.

  • Recommends "The Measure of Man and Woman" for understanding the shapes, sizes, forms, etc that work best for humans.
  • If you have to use a manual, he considers the product a failure
  • Iterate a lot
