Winner
wyandja
United States | Savannah College of Art and Design
Oh, I have always known I wanted to work in the creative field! I come from a family of entrepreneurs, but I was the only artist in my family. So when I was 15, I started creating custom phone cases with my artwork using sublimation. I knew I had to pursue a career in Industrial Design and found SCAD when applying to colleges, thanks to my high school art teacher, Mr. Burnett.

Honorable Mentions
The following winners made a lasting impression on the judging panel and secured highly sought after badges.
Category Brief
The judges are looking for the best young product designers that are passionate about Product Design or Industrial Design. You will need to show experience with AutoCAD style programs which offer a more precise building platform with a strong focus on real-world physics and restraints than other 3D software packages. The judges want to not only see how you sketch and design your ideas, but they are very interested in seeing how you visualise and present your ideas to the world.
Important Notes
- This category is for Industrial Designers and Product Designers, not 3D artists wanting to work in film and games.
- CAD software and the _-design process__ must be the focus for entrants.
- This is not a category for people with nice ZBrush models of cars, products or furniture.
- Include illustrations and other supporting material to help explain to judges your design process and problem solving abilities.
- Judges are interested in seeing great product visualisations. So make sure to share really polished final renders and compliment these with sketches and concept art.
