View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Alejandro PalandjoglouDesign is all around us. All products have some degree of design because someone else made some thought, designed and conceived it. A good designer should never settle; he should question everything that occurs around him. I believe that the only way of having a good idea is having as many ideas as you can. I look around and observe attentively, perceiving problems that can be solved and finding opportunities for new products or improving existing products. My goal is to uncover hidden needs and deep insights that lead to breakthrough products. I plan to become a creative designer that focuses on people’s needs, developing products that consumers recognize as useful, practical and desirable. My objective is to find new solutions to everyday life using tools like observation, experimentation and story-telling.
