Just want you to know, I mean, I might just want to tell somebody also but your videos have truly helped me figure out what I want to do with my life. Thank you. I knew there was a place out there for me, and YOU helped me figure out that this is what I want for myself with how thoroughly you have explained what an ID is, and I just checked your college vid and you helped me even pick the school where I plan to learn the craft. Thank you.

should I be an industrial designer if i don't like sketching

Actually my english isn't that good but surprisingly I understand almost the whole video :O You speak clear and I can follow you

my mind is set on becoming a chemical engineer but also think understanding the fundamentals of industrial design will help make chemical products when I do become a chemical engineer. your videos and advice will hopefully be helpful

what do you think about being 48 going back to school and trying industrial design

Hey Jimmy can do a sketch of a C8 CORVETTE WITH THE OVER THE ROOF AIR SCOOPS LEFT & RIGHT SIDES NOT INDY SCOOP L.R SIDE S OVER THE AIR SCOOPS THANKS

did you gave the talk for the ITESM Monterrey campus or Mexico City campus?

Hey man, I want to thank you for this video. I’ve been so lost for years of what to choose. I love design and manufacturing. This video made me realize I need to be an industrial designer!!

Your video has a way of attracting people. Absolutely love it!

Ive wanted to be a designer ever since I was little and your videos are so helpful :) I've always, along with my desire to do design, had a fear that if I went for it I would be a failure and not make any money. Watching your videos help me solidify in my mind that I want to pursue design!

very good video! really gives you themes to think about when pursuing a ID career. thanks

Booger butt

Hi there Jimmy Im from Indonesia.. would you spare your time to do short Gmeet and explain about your work an what it takes to be industrial designer... to my class... they’re a fresh year design college students...

Would you?... please...

I wanted to ask if you knew how many apply, get a chance to submit a portfolio, then get accepted to CSULB ID program? I'm curious as to how competitive it is.

Jimmy, I want to let you know that I watched several of your videos with my 14-year-old son who is interested in graphic design, industrial design, and potentially mechanical engineering. We started with the portfolio for school part 1, and 2, then a few really nice photoshop works for Bugatti (what else would attract a 14-year-old right?), then this one. I am really grateful for these videos as they opened our eyes to the skill and disciplines it takes to pursue an education and a career in the field of industrial design. Thank you for putting out great content!

Great summary! What does it take to be a product developer, in your opinion?

Hi Jimmy, I’m a college undergrad studying photography. However, my passion lies in in design and I have strong feeling for ID. I’m wondering if there are anyway to still get into the field without a design degree. I was going to be studying engineering but life got in the way, and when I found industrial design, I was too late to be admitted, and seems like it’s a career that depends on a lot of technical skills. I would love some pointers from someone in the field, thanks!

I was wondering, what kind of degree do we need for a career in industrial design?

Love your vids ☺️☺️☺️
