Industrial Design

Industrial design is the process of designing and developing products, typically tangible/touchable products such as consumer goods, medical devices, appliances, and automobiles.

It involves creating the overall aesthetic and functional design of a product, as well as making sure that it is easy to use, efficient, and easy to manufacture.
