Wakrot Chinshaka
MA Industrial Design, 2021-2023
Artist's words:
"As a Nigerian designer with a background in Architecture, my journey into MA
Industrial Design has provided me with invaluable opportunities to explore diverse
avenues for translating my ideas into reality. This immersive experience has
equipped me with the tools to create products and experiences that tackle
intricate human and social challenges.
I like to describe my inclination to design as very versatile and flexible. However, I
prefer to see my specialization and interest be "industrial design" as, through this
medium, I see no limit to creating solutions to problems. I see industrial design as
a pedestal to solve real-life problems the way I know best (via design) as it
juxtaposes design and problem-solving with reason, the ideology behind Industrial
design is sensible and nothing less.
Through this process, I have come to recognize the profound impact that creativity
and design can have in driving meaningful change. Fuelled by a deep-seated
passion, I have consistently utilized art and design as powerful mediums to shed
light on social, cultural, and ethnic issues in my homeland, across Africa and the
World."
