I believe the word innovate is used too widely, too loosely to promote "good design." I feel as though the "green movement" in product design is a simple marketing ploy to improve sales rather than actually solving any environmental issues. I have observed that the desire to maintain ones products has decreased, replaced with a desire for new objects. Seeking longevity in products in our current commercial society seems nonsensical; however, it is paramount to reduce the amount of refuse we produce as designers by creating a bond between user and product by combining value and product. My name is Taylor Phillips-Hungerford, I started my degree studying Industrial Design at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, MA. I completed an associates degree in applied sciences and then transfered to Central St. Martins to give myself a broader perspective on trends, talent, and culture. I have been given the chance to combine a very rigid technical back ground with a very loose and conceptual understanding of design and then go on a use these combined skills to approach problems as opportunities and create more robust and unique concepts. I truly enjoy discovering how things work, and contemplating how they evolved to their current state, and creating future possibilities or solutions for the whole system in which the product or service or interface resides. I strive to look for designs that are innovative, that solve issues; not look for, create and solve problems that never existed. I am very driven to explore and understand, and this is my drive for design.

I have been given the chance to combine a very rigid technical back ground with a very loose and conceptual understanding of design and then go on a use these combined skills to approach problems as opportunities and create more robust and unique concepts'' loose is not a great way to describe your schooling. other than that maybe clean up the ending a bit. and you sound like an old fart.
I would agree with Witter on the 'loose' comment. and this sentence 'I strive to look for designs that are innovative, that solve issues; not look for, create and solve problems that never existed.' needs the clean up
XOXO
PS you don't sound like an old fart - overall I think it is good
I would say, you using "Innovative" at the end confuses me. Is it the fact that you are not using it loosely?
OHHH, and. and too much, try.
"I am very driven to explore and understand (understand what?), - this is my drive for design."
Other then that I think it sounds very articulate, has good flow of structure and uses big words, always a plus. Keep an eye out for redundancies too !
hope this comment is help full bro
