About Me
I am currently a Senior at Wesleyan University where I am studying Applied Design and Society: a major that I designed in order to follow my passion for experiential design.
Wesleyan offers the unique opportunity to create your own academic pathway by designing your own major. I carefully constructed the Applied Design and Society major to include a rigorous coursework across the arts, humanities, and sciences.
Applied Design and Society views the products of design as dynamic forms which influence and are influenced by the social and cultural action of people. Through this self-designed course of study, I am taking courses in three areas: History and Theory of Design, Qualitative and Quantitative Applications in Design, and Design and Fabrication.
In addition to my self designed major, I am also pursuing two minors in Data Analysis and Integrated Design Engineering.
