About

Looking for full-time employment in a fast-paced, challenging industrial design role where I can play an integral role in the full product development process from user research and analysis to manufacturing.

Beth is an emerging designer from an interdisciplinary academic background. An alumna of the Rhode Island School of Design for Industrial Design as well as Brown University for Environmental Studies, she has a passion for product design, research, environmental design, system design, entrepreneurship/business, manufacturing, and - most of all - figuring out how they all connect.
