From MacGyver to Masterpiece: Wild College Product Design Journey
Remember those college product design projects where creativity met desperation, and hot glue guns were basically extensions of our bodies?
*Exactly like this project being inspired from Easter, where resurrection of Holy is a belief and this lamp taking shape of an egg is nothing more than a reflection of fertility and new life in itself.*🛋️
Sure, they might not have won any Red Dot awards, but those projects taught us some invaluable lessons:
Think outside the box (or, in this case, the cereal carton): Necessity truly is the mother of invention, especially when your budget is a crumpled five-dollar bill.
*Embrace the power of teamwork: When your teammate accidentally superglues your prototype to the table, you learn to communicate, problem-solve, and laugh (hysterically) under pressure.
*Fail fast, fail often: Remember that exploding toaster oven you tried to turn into a self-cleaning bread maker? Yeah, those "learning experiences" sting, but they make the eventual successes taste oh-so-sweet.
Now, looking back at my current work, I can't help but chuckle at those college contraptions. But hey, they were stepping stones, duct-taped one at a time, to the sleek designs and innovative solutions I get to create today. ✨
So, raise a (cardboard) glass to all the wild, wacky, and yet SUSTAINABLE college projects! They may have been rough around the edges, but they shaped us into the professionals we are (or at least aspire to be) today.🗂️

I hope this post brings back some hilarious memories and inspires a little design appreciation (and maybe a touch of self-deprecating humor)!
