My name is caitlin and i like to
design experiences

A few years ago, I found myself in a product design exhibit at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. I was fascinated by this field at the intersection of psychology, engineering, and creativity. After developing plastic products for 5 years as a chemical engineer, I decided that I wanted to shift my focus from designing plastics for machines to designing experiences for people.

 

I am now at Northwestern University pursuing a Master's Degree in Engineering Design Innovation with a focus on UX Design and Service Design. I'm also enjoying learning mechatronics and making prototypes.​
