Hi! I'm Elaine.
I graduated in May of 2023 with a degree in Industrial Design and a concentration in Furniture Design.
​
Since I was very young, I have had a passion for creating. I am enlivened by the problem-solving that is necessary throughout the design process, and the discoveries made as a result. Through my education and influence of experienced mentors at Appalachian, I was able to explore my relationship with design, improving my process along the way.
​
I am passionate about many facets of design, specifically related to design for children and the role of design in community-formation. I was born and raised in the Appalachian mountains, and their beauty and life constantly inspires me. I look forward to continuing to grow as a designer!
