Winner

I grew up in a creative environment and have always found joy and solace in making things for others. As I've experienced more of the design world, I've found myself exploring the intersection of inclusive design, systems thinking, and narrative. Whether it's through function, aesthetic, or some combination of both, my goal is to make small moments meaningful.
Runner Up

I was first intrigued by the element of translating words to visual cues that allows for better understanding and started a journey in graphic design. However, I realised that a lot of the work was based on assumptions and thriving to be more consumer/ user forward, I changed my focus into UX. With UX Research, it has allowed me to relearn the human condition to fulfil the duty as designers to design better products and experiences for the communities around the world.
Highly Commended

I realized this when most of my compositions started to drift towards overall product and concept art designs so why not embrace it. Plus it's fun to really push yourself to create incredible works of art. Be it 2D or 3D.

I'll always been interested in art, but I didn't realize I wanted to go until the end of high school where I found that I could design art on the computer. From there, I realized that I could purse a design career that combine my passions of gaming, technology, and design into one job.

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.
