Dimensional Innovations

Dimensional Innovations Field Trip

This company was the exact type of environment I had always imagined for an industrial designer. It is also the same type of environment I would wish to work in in the future. They were very professional but also friendly and relaxed. I really like their "idea factory" where we could get a sense of the type of products they have worked on and also see how they develop their ideas for products. Their sister company Shields Caseworks had some awesome products that really caught my eye as well.
