About myself

Kyle Cowan - Industrial Designer

In 2024 I graduated Cum Laude from Iowa State University College of Design with a bachelors degree in industrial design. I am currently based in Hudson, WI.

I have 2 years of educational experience in both hard and soft good design. Utilizing a broad range of tools from industrial sewing machines to woodworking shop tools. I am also experienced in various design software programs such as Solidworks, Rhinoceros 3D, and Adobe Creative Cloud.

I have experience working in the outdoor industry in many leadership roles, such as outdoor educator, camp counselor, and snowboard instructor.

My hobbies include many outdoor adventure sports, my favorites being snowboarding, hiking, rock climbing, and backpacking. While in college, I truly realized my love for being outdoors, putting an increased amount of effort towards adventure sports. These adventures have led me all over, from Lake Superior to the alps of Italy and Austria, and most recently Glacier National Park.

I am passionate about sustainable design and I strive to show my love for our planet in my work, using recycled or other sustainably sourced materials whenever possible.
