About Neil Carpenter

Industrial Design / Vision & Values The creative imagination in the design of products is most fundamentally grounded in a need for a product. This need should be fulfilled with a pure and applicable solution. The design solution should be highly investigated and appropriately manufactured from materials that have a positive functionality / cost ratio. The design should stimulate and challenge all five senses, while possessing an appealing aesthetic with homage to cultural values, proportional theories and construction techniques that cajole the consumer into a state of willingness to purchase. Finally, the design’s appeal should be the result of an ethical process that creates an opportunity for the end user’s emotional interaction on several levels, including basic enjoyment.
