Philip de Los Reyes has created some of the very best [math tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-calculators) that I have had the privilege of seeing. The designer's [geometry tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shinwa) are highly stylized and created for the person with a [minimalistic aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woset) bend.

I think that if I had these tools when I was taking geometry in high school, I probably would have found math a whole lot more interesting. Philip de Los Reyes is a brilliant designer who has created a very visually compelling set. This set would make an excellent gift.

**Implications** - Youth consumers are attracted to a minimal and clean visual aesthetic. This stems from an over-appropriation of the cultural symbols over the past decade. Companies should take this mindset into account when pitching products to this demographic.
