Industrial Design Clay And Tools

At industrial design schools like Academy of Art University, you don't learn what's going to happen tomorrow—you create it. Seated at the intersection of culture, technology, and business, industrial design enhances and enriches human life by translating future visions into short-term tangibles.

From research and ideation to problem-solving and development, industrial design is more than just self-expression; it is the evolution of both function and aesthetics in everyday life.
