Can a Sculptor get into Industrial Design?

Thanks for the feedback. This is tremendously helpful.

I’m familiar with Marc Newson and have seen a few interviews of him. It’s encouraging to see someone with a craft and fine arts background make a name of himself as a designer, although I imagine that’s exceptionally rare.

Yo, what skills would you expect in a potential employee? Where could I find examples of what you would consider a killer portfolio, so I can begin to understand the approach to creating one?

Thanks again.
