Final Presentation Set Up
During this project, I realized I had somehow become the designer, manufacturer, and engineer all at once.
Throughout this project I was able to learn how immensley collaborative the design process is (in my case, it was asking as many people as I could for help) and finding areas where I can improve my design approach and perspective.
