From Classroom Concepts to Real-World Products
You have a head full of ideas and a passion for design, but now that you're in the real world, you might be realizing that school only scratched the surface. While college provides a solid foundation, turning a concept into a finished product requires far more than basic design skills. Now, your greatest challenge will be mastering the entire process, from ideation to mass production, to bring your ideas to life.
Does this sound familiar?
You’re fresh out of school or new to the design industry, but your growth is slower than you expected.
You have felt like a junior designer forever, stuck doing one part of the design process without understanding the full scope.
You’re frustrated seeing senior designers or your colleagues advance faster because they know how to navigate the process from start to finish.
THE HARSH
REALITY...
Understanding the full design process is key to your growth and success as a designer.
If you only focus on creating without understanding production timelines, manufacturing challenges, or retail strategy, your career might stall.
You'll find yourself competing for the same basic design jobs, while others who understand the bigger picture move up to senior roles and earn more. Plus, not knowing the technical side of things can hurt your client relationships and your reputation.

Meet Your Instructor
I’m Carter McGuyer, and I launched my full-service Industrial Design firm, The Carter McGuyer Design Group, Inc., back in May 2006. I focus on creating products that blend beauty, functionality, and cost-effectiveness. Clean, tailored and modern is where I live.
Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to rack up some awards, like the 2003 Gourmet Gold Award, 8 Red Dot Awards and several Housewares Design Awards, including “Best in Show.” I’m also proud to hold 57 patents and have helped bring over 750 products to market, contributing to more than $1 billion in sales for my clients.
Fun fact: I was even named one of Esquire Magazine's "Top 25 Best Dressed Real Men." While that might not directly relate to product design, it reflects my sense of style! I’ve had the privilege of working as a featured designer for Crate & Barrel, Williams Sonoma, L’Oreal Paris and consulting for the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation too! I am thrilled to be working with talented designers who are ready to take it to the next level!
