Department of Design Spring Exhibition 2021 - Best in Show
This year’s graduating design students have created an exciting range of senior projects and each represents a new and inspiring way of looking at how to use design to address an emerging need in the world.
The Department of Design is pleased to announce the students whose projects have been selected as this year’s Best in Show. Congratulations to Ruohan Wang (Industrial Design), Olivia Forsyth (Interior Design), and Sarah Martin (Visual Communication Design)!
Ruohan Wang’s project is entitled XIU combines the design of physical products and a learning app to help preserve traditional Kam embroidery skills.
Olivia Forsyth’s project is the design of a community-based multi-generational fashion makers’ space called Franklinton Fabrix.
