KEIR HERBERT / ABOUT
Who Am I?
BACKGROUND & EDUCATION
I’m Keir, an industrial designer and IT professional. I hold a Bachelor of Design (Industrial Design) from the University of Canberra, with a major in interaction design. I also have a keen interest in visual communication.
My Interests
I'm focussed on designing and creating products that are exciting, beautiful, and clever. Recurring themes in my designs are sculpture, discreet technology, longevity, repairability, and sustainability.
The areas of design that interest me the most at the moment are domestic lighting, automotive/mobility, and consumer technology.
Being involved with the product design process from concept ideation all the way through to manufacturing is an extraordinary experience and probably my favourite aspect of the field. Regarding the design process itself, of particular interest to me are 3D digital design and additive manufacturing.
