Aaron’s motivation to attend the IDM program was fuelled by his desires to be part of future research and enhancements in the IxD domain. Focusing on human needs and exploring new and exciting methods and technologies that enable the design and research of form, interaction in everyday products and services, is exciting. The IDM program at K3 fulfilled all pre-requisites in his quest for a program that fits the level of education and direction required for his desires; conceptual hands-on project work in current areas of IxD with stakeholders, physical prototyping, diverse international classmates, and influence on design thinking.
