We will be meeting Monica Welcker, a senior product designer at Big Agnes, to talk about her interest in outdoor gear and transitioning from a typical industrial design degree program into pursuing career in soft goods. Monica’s experience is unique, since she has experience designing for all kinds of explorers, including four-legged ones. She has a lot to share about her experience at Ruffwear and getting her foot in the door of the soft goods industry with a pet harness.
Join us to learn how you forge a path into gear design, how to build a strong soft goods portfolio, and what surprises are waiting for you in this specialized type of industrial design.
