About
Hello!
I am Adriana, a third year industrial design student at Carnegie Mellon University, set to graduate in May 2015. I am a product designer interested in creating meaningful interactions between products and users, and a strong believer in the importance and versatility of design research. Among many things, I am also a detail admirer, a form-giver, a life-long Lego lover, a bookworm, food lover, and a wood carver.
This past summer I interned at Constructo Design, a design-build company, where I helped bring projects from the drawing board to reality, and learned skills such as CAD drawing, traditional woodworking, and programming and running a CNC router.
I am currently looking for a summer internship where i can continue polishing my design skills, learn more about design research, and experience the ins and out of the professional design world.
Feel free to contact me by phone or email at
