Heather Blaikie Design

Mid-career internship done!

I learned so much and developed new skills!
Packing up today and headed to Dickwella & Hiriketiya Beaches for a week before coming home.

Big Announcement!
This fall, I'm starting a Master's of Science in Sports Product Design at the University of Oregon's Portland Campus!!! 🦆

It's a 2 year, onsite, full time, rigorous program with just approx 12 students in my cohort. We will study apparel, footwear, and equipment design with a thesis project in the second year.

I am doubling-down on my Industrial Design and Design Education career, specializing in what is most important to me.

Empowering individuals to discover healing through outdoor experiences is my passion. With a foundation in industrial design, a passion for yoga, and a commitment to the healing forces of nature, I strive to merge strategic design thinking with research of diverse users to create product experiences that resonate deeply with athletes, enthusiasts, and nature lovers.

Things could change, but at the moment, I see support garments (sports bras, braces, etc.) and size inclusion as my area of focus.

30 years ago I was starting Georgia Tech! So ready for this new adventure!

Thanks to everyone who helped me make this decision.

P.S. I will be forming focus groups for my studies. LMK if you want to join! 💫

P.P.S. I was not consulted on the placement of the word Portland on this brand new sign.
