Hey Mike and Yo, thanks for the suggestions! However I’m not from the US, so visiting these schools prior to admission won’t be possible.
I think I wasn’t entirely descriptive about my interests, since I see I only mentioned UI/UX to be an interest. Apart from that, I’d say that my primary focus would be user-centric products, both tangible and intangible. Ergonomics is also something that greatly interests me. So for example, designing a game controller would be something I’d like to do in the future, since it has all the aspects that I’m interested in.
I think this is why I want to get into Industrial design, since I don’t want to restrict myself to UI/UX only. I feel I’d get more exposure on the whole, and can then make a decision on what I’d want to specialize in.
