Drew Janszen

Hi, I’m Drew Janszen — an Industrial Designer with a BFA from Purdue University and a background in both industrial and aerospace design. I specialize in creating thoughtful, user-centered solutions that blend functionality, innovation, and aesthetics.

Currently, I work as an Engineer II - FEA at Belcan, where I analyze aerospace components using ANSYS. My role includes creating precise CAD assemblies, component meshing, and analysis of FEA results. I am also ASME Y14.5 certified in GD&T drawing creation. This role has given me a deep appreciation for high-stakes professional environments, as well as unique manufacturing knowledge.

During my senior year at Purdue University, I was President of the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) chapter at Purdue. In this role, I orchestrated two large-scale, semester-long collaborations for over 60 IDSA student members with Sonos, followed by Cotopaxi the following semester — managing diverse teams and delivering professional-grade results. These experiences sharpened my leadership and organizational skills and deepened my understanding of cross-functional design work.

I’m skilled in tools like SolidWorks, Rhino, Siemens NX, KeyShot, Figma, and Adobe Creative Suite, and I have 4+ years of hands-on prototyping experience. I combine technical expertise with strong soft skills — collaboration, innovation, and emotional intelligence — to deliver thoughtful, impactful designs.
