hi! my name is jess

hi! my name is jess and I'm a fifth year industrial/interaction design major at syracuse university. here are a few photos I've taken that give you a taste of my life at su.



this is smith hall, where the magic happens. most people that go to su will never set foot inside this building, but the industrial/interation design majors and interior design majors spend more time here than we do our apartments and dorms.



fifth year for the iid majors is devoted to thesis. this year we have a visiting design, ruth spitzer, working with us on the research portion. this is my friend chris meeting with her after the first phase of research.



one of the projects we worked on this year was the tea-off, an international design competition sponsored by the industrial design society of america to redesign the tea kettle. here I'm helping kelly with some wire models.



here I am sanding down a model I developed on the 3d printer.



and my roommate sarina working on some blue foam models.



most of the time we do work at studio, but sometimes we all like to study together in the kitchen. these are my roommates jeanne and sarina.



sketches everywhere! my bed is covered during finals week.



the first big snowfall of the year. typical syracuse.



our professor likes us to stand out. here are the idsa student chapter officers in our yellow jumpsuits during a lecture on the importance of play in business. there's evan, kelly, leigh, alfy and me!
