About
I graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2013 with a BFA in Industrial Design. I love to build and create with my hands and find that design need to be felt, not just inputted into a computer. I strive to connect beauty and functionality seamlessly into objects that are more than just consumer products. Please visit my portfolio website at www.gwenpolich.squarespace.com
