Who is iter8?
Cal Poly Iter8 began as a student-led club for those interested in product design—the art of designing, researching, and understanding how to better the experiences of interfaces in the everyday world for everyday people.
From bringing Figma to Cal Poly SLO's campus through student-run workshops and sessions, to bringing in industry professionals for students to connect with, to connecting students with real-world projects and clients for immersive experience, iter8 aims to be a space where students can learn, grow, and connect with all pillars of product design.
Powered by students, made for industry.

Every kind of project for every kind of team.
Here's how we do it.
1
Book a Meeting
Let’s start with a conversation! We’ll discuss your goals, ideas, and how I can help bring them to life. This is where we align expectations and ensure a great fit.
2
Project Brief
Once we’re on the same page, we’ll define the project scope, timeline, and deliverables. A structured brief ensures a smooth and efficient process.
3
Solution Development
We work our magic! We'll delegate your project to one of our design teams to research, develop, and design over the course of 15 weeks. Each week, you'll meet with the team's leads to discuss progress and track deliverables.
4
Deliverables
The final product is polished and ready to go. Whether it’s a new brand identity, a complete prototype, or a series of high-fidelity screens, you’ll receive all the necessary files and guidance for a seamless handoff.
5
Support
We are always welcome to continuing projects with our clients beyond the 15-week timeline, either to offer additional support or develop your vision further.
