Some of us do design cranes.
I haven’t met someone outside the design school at CMU who knew what ID was when I told them it was my major. They kind of go “so you design machines and stuff?”. Now I call myself a product designer, or say “Industrial Design. Designing products, cars, thatk ind of stuff”. In Chinese, the term that I’d use is the equivalent of product designer. Product is literally: manufactured good. Dunno why I was talking about that. My head is dying.
