Industrial Design = Product design and development.... An Industrial Designer is the reason that your microwave looks like it does, your car from the factory looks like it does, the little glitch in your cell phone that makes the battery cover fall off is an industrial designer's fault.... the reason your home appliances look like they do.. the reason my girl's vibrator is shaped like it is... we're everywhere. Pretty much everything that is not clothing or fashion or graphic we design. Store displays, all of it. There's branches of it that are more specialized, like auto/transportation design, tool design, and product research, but we're basically specially trained inventors.
