About

Hi my name is Sophia White and I am a senior industrial design student at Purdue University. I enjoy coffee, experiencing different cultures, and meeting new people.

I love Industrial design because it mixes the arts and the sciences and I pushes me to my limits. I am always learning something new and using that knowledge to improve my skills and products.
