UCSD lecture

Yesterday, Charles lectured in a product design course at UCSD. The students just took part in a lesson created at Stanford, where they are asked to design a wallet for a classmate. The project is an initiation into designing from the user perspective, and Charles was asked in to address the necessity of gaining comfort with your market persona–both the “cute familiar” and the “scary unknown.”

“We started our product design class last Friday with an exercise where students redesigned a wallet for a partner in the class,” said Professor Nate Delson. “Today when Charles Curbbun came for a guest lecture, the students saw that some solutions would not even need a physical wallet. The examples shown were eye opening to me and the students, and illustrated how personal electronics are changing so many of the products we use today. I am interested in seeing if the student projects this quarter will be incorporate some of these concepts.”
