Our program is all about the studio: the place where students experiment, discover, problem-solve and innovate. It\u2019s where creativity meets critical thinking, where theory meets reality, and where product designers learn by doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this hands-on program, you\u2019ll experience the entire product design process cycle. You\u2019ll identify problems and explore sustainable, ethical solutions to the problems you see around you; develop your technical skills by creating prototypes; and apply your marketing and business expertise to introduce your design to contemporary markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&#8220;Good design is essentially hidden, so you don\u2019t notice this, because it just works so well.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><cite>Tarun Dosanjh<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WSD\/Product Design Alum Tarun Dosanjh\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/737697596?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"616\" height=\"347\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;My name is Tarun Dosanjh and I graduated from Product Design at KPU\u2019s Wilson School of Design. Product design is looking at problems that you have around yourself and coming up with user-centered solutions. Product design is really infused into our everyday lives, anything from a laptop to a phone to a service that you might use.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I\u2019m the Lead Product Designer here at Alpha Vitesse. We\u2019re a Canadian manufactured and sourced motorcycle accessories provider. I really look over the development of our products, in terms of crash protection and motorcycle accessories, from conceptualization to research, all the way down to manufacturing and actually having the product in hand.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"565\" data-id=\"1880\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.kpu.ca\/wilsondesignloop\/files\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-10-210659-1024x565.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.kpu.ca\/wilsondesignloop\/files\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-10-210659-1024x565.png 1024w, https:\/\/wordpress.kpu.ca\/wilsondesignloop\/files\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-10-210659-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.kpu.ca\/wilsondesignloop\/files\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-10-210659-768x424.png 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.kpu.ca\/wilsondesignloop\/files\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-10-210659-1536x847.png 1536w, https:\/\/wordpress.kpu.ca\/wilsondesignloop\/files\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-10-210659-2048x1130.png 2048w, https:\/\/wordpress.kpu.ca\/wilsondesignloop\/files\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-10-210659-816x450.png 816w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The Wilson School of Design really emphasizes the need to have hands on work.
