about

My name is Michael Webber. I have recently earned a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts degree in Industrial Design at the Academy of Art University, after a long hiatus in a career as a professional bicycle mechanic. I always appreciate well-crafted and expertly designed components, and the detailed processes that go into them; especially those items that are evidently sustainable and long-lasting. I entered the industrial design program from a life-long interest in learning more about the fundamentals of design: how the objects and the systems of our lives are made, how we interact with them, and how they benefit society at large. I am interested in applying my real-world experiences with bicycles, customer service, and my penchant for understanding the end-user’s perspective into a design role where I believe those aspects of my past career can be especially beneficial in executing a well-designed product; no matter the field. I am looking forward to meeting you!
