A Design That
TELLS A STORY
SID's First Student Design Magazine
An article about a design magazine that I created and still run. My friends and I secured funding, built a team, created content, designed the magazine, and published it all in 2.5 months while simultaneously finishing our capstones. When everyone thought that it wasn't possible, we proved them wrong.
Maybe You're Wondering
Who I am...
A little ABOUT ME
Hello! I'm Em, and I originate from Modesto, California, but my drive for independence and to become a designer led me to study Industrial Design and Entrepreneurship at Carleton University in Canada.
As a designer, I work to create innovative and functional products that meet the needs of people from all walks of life. I dedicated myself to keeping curious and staying ahead of the curve with the latest modern technologies and design trends so my work is fresh and exciting. Whether it's conceptualizing an entirely new product or improving an existing one, I am passionate about using my skills to craft beautiful and effective designs that make a difference. From ideation to prototyping, my process is all about bringing ideas to life most effectively and efficiently as possible.

Additional Projects
Beyond the design world, my canvas comes alive as I indulge in my creative hobbies, from book binging to character and world-building, all fostering my creativity and imagination. I firmly believe that continuous learning is the pathway to success, and that success leads to new challenges and opportunities that creativity and design can offer. I wait for those challenges with eager anticipation.
