Grip

Justin Atwater-Taylor was a student as the University of Kansas and graduated with a degree in industrial design. For his thesis project he designed a bag in which Frisbee golf players can hold the various disks required to play the sport. As an avid player himself, he noticed that the current bags on the market were not tailored to the exact needs of the player. After college he set out to start his own business designing bags for the sport. He is now the leader in his feild with his innovative and intuitive  designs. During his presentation it was really interesting to hear about getting his product manufactured and the struggles of owning your own business. It was inspiring as a young designer to know that starting your own business is possible.
