Eames Essay and Artifact
Prior to this week, I have never heard of Charles and Ray Eames. To my surprise, the Eames have made a huge impact on the modern…
In 2018, I worked for Apple as an automation manufacturing engineer. It was our team’s responsibility to go into the factories in China and prepare the lines for production. We would take manually run stations in which a worker would be operating a substation and combine them into…
I’m exploring the value of Compassion and the way it relates to others and the self.
In my eyes, the two readings were very similar in all but one way: their main focus. Yes, this may sound contradictory… But, both pieces take a casual tone (admittedly, Black People Made America is a bit more relaxed in its language, but neither feels like you’re reading a…
Wow- where do I even begin to compare and contrast the excerpts from A Brief History of Industrial Design and Black People Invented Everything?
Here’s a simple laundry list of the most obvious comparisons-
Bialetti has been a household name — in Italy and beyond — since the 50s. The Bialetti Moka Express stovetop…
Thumbnail sketches for a poster designed to sell the idea of self-care and taking time for yourself through the values of universalism and self-direction
Selling ethical consumption through universalism and conformity. I played around with some jarring statements that imply/encourage a norm indirectly.
For this project, I want to promote the idea of environmentalism through emphasis of the values of universalism and…
A Brief History of Industrial and Interaction Design and Black People Invented Everything differed at practically every level except the overarching subject: design and creation. Apart from that, they shared nothing. A Brief History was about two specific industries, the relation between the two…

In “Black People Invented Everything” the target audience seems to be anyone that is an “inventor” or in a broader sense desires to make a difference in a creative field. There’s a huge emphasis on uncovering the truth of just how much black/ indigenous people have made a…
I honestly found both readings to be a bit challenging. The first reading did not really spark inspiration for me. Except for Dieter Ram’s designs, most of the designs did not make me want to learn more about the designers. The part I did enjoy about the first reading…
In the “A Brief History of Industrial and Interaction Design” chapter, the target audience seems to be anyone interested in the history of design or becoming a designer/ innovator themselves. The piece appears to assume that their audience has minimal knowledge of the evolution…

Sketchnote of “Ruinous Empathy”, a talk by Liz Jackson.
In A Brief History of Industrial and Interaction Design, the target audience appears to be anyone who is interested in learning more and studying about how designers improve upon certain items we use in daily life. The text reveals that they assume that the audience is familiar…
For this project Brooke and I would like to work together on creating a poster that sends a message regarding mental health and mental illness. This is a subject that is very close to both of us and means a lot to us so we hope our poster can leave an impactful message. We do not have a specific…
When comparing the two articles, they both very clearly seem to be aimed towards different audiences- one being white people and the second being a combination of all people, of all races. I find it interesting that the article titled “A Brief History of Industrial and…
(After the quarantine of course) I am selling the idea of spending more times outside with the value of…
