My name is Christopher Palangio and I am a declared Industrial Design major at the Michael Graves College at Kean University . I am from Manasquan, New Jersey and I attended Manasquan High School where I completed the Academy of Engineering where I found my passion for design and graduated with high honors. I chose Industrial Design because I found a love for the design process. I have a passion in home goods design as well as a complimenting hobby in coffee. As most college students are avid coffee drinkers I have found an interest in designing products for making coffee as well as enhancing the experience of it.

My core inspirations come from how design allows for people to interact and relate to each other either walking on the street getting a compliment or sitting at a dining room table talking about the plate in front of them or even something they saw throughout the day.
