    1st BA (Hons) Product DesignRavensbourne University London
     - London, United Kingdom
    BA (Hons) Product Design explores how people interact with the world around them and how we can use that knowledge to design better products and experiences for everyone. I worked on creating and evaluating new ideas and turning them into tangible solutions, creating products that meet customer demands. I studied aesthetics and sustainability as well as manufacturing through prototyping and basic electronics. As a product design graduate I am well prepared to pursue a wide range of careers in product design, user experience (UX), packaging design, service design, and advertising, including prototyping and manufacturing, toys and games, consumer gadgets, design for financial services, sports performances devices, homewares, medical devices, and product packaging.
