Friday, I conclude my incredible summer at Design Central as their Industrial Design Intern. Over the past few months, I had the opportunity to work on various projects, from consumer hard goods to packaging and branding design. Along the way, while working with name brands, I practiced my skills in concept ideation, sketching, surface modeling, rendering, packaging design, graphics, and more. What stood out most, however, was the chance to collaborate with a team of top-tier professionals, immersing myself in the dynamic environment of a leading design consultancy. This experience has redefined my understanding of what it means to be an industrial design consultant. I learned to apply my skills to various technical and conceptual challenges while improving the art of juggling multiple projects at once. Watching design teams deliver successful projects to clients after weeks of hard work was both inspiring and motivating. It was incredible to see what goes into creating the next generation of industry-shaping products. I was continually impressed by the versatility and collaboration that defines the teams at Design Central. I want to extend my deepest thanks to my mentors, Brian Bjelovuk and Delano Ellis, whose insights and guidance were invaluable. A special thank you to Austin Scott and the entire design crew for welcoming me into the team and showing me what it takes to succeed in this industry. And a big thank you to the whole DC family for making this summer one to remember. I’m heading back to Virginia Tech School of Design with renewed momentum, eager to apply everything I’ve learned to my student work and beyond. Thank you, Design Central—I’m excited for what the future holds, and I know it will be extraordinary! ✌

Earlier this year, our talented model-making maven, Brian, faced an unexpected challenge when he broke his hand. This was a daunting challenge for someone whose work demands precise handiwork, but Brian's determination to return to what he loves never wavered. With over 28 years at Design Central, Brian has crafted hundreds of client prototypes, showcasing his exceptional skills and dedication. Driven by his passion for his craft, he sought the best care and rehabilitation to ensure a swift recovery. Sheryl at Orthopedic ONE worked diligently to heal Brian's hand, restoring his ability to once again operate the essential tools and machinery used in-house at Design Central. Her expertise was instrumental in getting Brian back on track. In true Brian fashion, he expressed his gratitude by crafting "Healing Hand" coasters for Sheryl's office – a heartfelt thank you for her support. We're thankful for a network of incredible resources here in Columbus, motivated team members, and the continued opportunity to prototype innovative products for our clients. #wearedesigncentral #healinghand #orthopedics #modelmaking #teammeberstories #columbusohio

One of our designers, Austin Scott, was lucky enough to get one of the original Wilson Sporting Goods Co. Airless Gen 1 Basketballs. Number 13 of 75! A product this unique and revolutionary makes you wonder how long it will be before 3D-printed consumer products become ubiquitous.
