Product Design
Ana Maria Wier has taught all levels of product design studio (undergraduate and graduate). Studio projects included consumer and commercial problems. In all cases students were required to study the problem, conduct research, develop a set of conceptual solutions (through sketches and models), further refine aspects of function (both human and mechanical) and appearance, and then produce final presentation materials consisting of renderings and detailed appearance models. There are three portfolio sets showing the work approximately in chronological order.
