Bridging the Gap
Between Design Thinking and Design Doing
OUR
METHODOLOGY
The Lab utilizes uniquely developed methodologies that encourage collaboration, creative thinking, in-depth problem solving and more. We incorporate design, digital fabrication, rapid prototyping skills and know-how of the product development process.
