Hi, I'm Robert Lazar
Im an industrial desgin student at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, currently in my first year and this would be my small place to fill with my projects and learning goals.
Past
Having previous experiences in both coding and electronics, I took a decision to try something different from my usual knowledge. Since I always designed elements for both myself and my friends in CAD modeling, I wanted to explore what Industrial Design could offer me. I had reviewed the curriculum prior to appliying for the bachelor and it aligned with my expectations of what I can imagine myself doing.
Present
Currently im in my firt year of Industrial Design, im still honing my electronics and coding expertise while appliying to these, a different perspective. Subjects like Human-Centered Design have taught me how different a problem can be approach, even from a designers perspective. It also helped me realised how to put the user as a first, and since I want to pursue a product design endeavour in the future this has brough quite an invaluable experience to me. This way im able to understand the client/user needs.
Future
Looking ahead, I aim to complete my Industrial Design education while maintaining and expanding my technical capabilities in electronics and coding. I envision myself specializing in product design with a focus on networking technologies, creating devices that are both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional.
My goal is to develop products that increase global access to the internet, helping to close the digital divide that currently limits 34% of the world's population from accessing this vital resource. By combining industrial design principles with technical knowledge, I hope to create intuitive, beautiful, and accessible technology that feels futuristic yet remains approachable for all users.
Professional Development Plan
Current strengths:
- Intermediate ability in industrial drawings and technical documentation.
- Strong aptitude for interface design mainly UI and CAD modeling.
- Experience in software and electronic design.
Areas for improvement:
- Mechanical design principles for prototyping based on an approach of mathematics and physics.
- Prototype iterations and refinement while also documenting the process RTDP.
- Integration of user ideas with prototype feasibility, assesing if one's ideas can be made real.
Key goals:
Advance mechanical design skills specially using Solidworks.
Improve coding capabilities in other languages such as Rust.
Develop aesthetic and physical designs.
