Hello! My name is Aidan Mukherjee, I am a senior studying Industrial Design.  I have lived in Arizona for the longest time, but I have moved a bunch around the country!  When I am not studying or working, I love trying new foods and going out with my friends!  

Being a person who loves to learn, I enjoy looking at small details of new technology.  It helps me stay on top of what is new in the world and it also helps me feel more social when networking and speaking with others!  I feel like this is really going to help my team because I will be able to be creative when thinking about solutions to any kind of problem and it will help me be confident when talking and discussing with others.  

In this class, I really hope to gain more experience working within a team environment.  I have already gotten some good experience with my internship and work experience, but being able to practice especially within my major and passion is very valuable to me.  In this class, I would feel successful and happy if my team and I collaborated well and took the time and effort to come up with an event that I would be happy to share with anyone in the future.  It never feels good to present work that you know you could have done better on, so proper communication and time management is definitely something I would love to stay on top of for the best outcome!    

Hi! I'm Marissa Weibrecht, I am a senior who is double majoring in Industrial Design and Sustainability. I have lived in Arizona my whole life so it is nice to work on a project so close to home. When I am not studying, I like creating graphics and portraits, along with fun characters. I want to experiment more with color in my art. I am good at problem-solving or researching new innovative products that can give inspiration. I enjoy sketching these ideas and turning them into reality. 

I am inspired by green cities and the potential they have to save urban living. Connection to nature is vital for human health so I want to integrate it into my designs. I like branding and appreciate the power it has to change perceptions. Other parts of design that interest me are fashion, interior design, and interactive design. Being able to tell a story and education through creativity is one of my favorite things about being a designer. 

My personal goal is to create a project that shows my strengths as an Industrial Design major who specializes in sustainability. I want to contribute to a project that has the potential for real change and innovation in the world. This project is a great opportunity to show my skills as a sustainable designer and make a difference.

Hi! I’m Ashwin Gulaya, a computer science student born and raised in Arizona. Throughout my life, I’ve been interested in technology, whether it be for casual use, gaming, or learning. My inevitable curiosity about computers as well as my passion for creative arts is what led me to computer science, as it greatly incorporates both of those factors. With computer science, I’ve had the opportunity to enhance my knowledge in programming and bring out my creativity through web design and development. 

I have technical skills in programming with various frameworks, a creative lens, and past experience with product development. Using such skills, I can provide an original and pragmatic view on various aspects of a project. I’m always up for a challenge and ready to learn. 

As for my personal goals, I believe the best-case outcome would be that I was able to help my team develop and create a great product that would have a positive impact on the world. By learning and understanding product development and entrepreneurship, I hope that I can learn about my strengths and weaknesses throughout the process and improve for any future application.

Greetings! I'm Achint, also known as Noor, hailing from India. Armed with a degree in graphics, I embarked on a journey to breathe life into ideas through design. Crafting visually captivating stories is my forte, and I thrive on making things look not just good, but irresistibly good.

Post my bachelor's, I ventured into the world of branding, where I found my calling. The blend of colors, fonts, and imagery to weave brand identities became my obsession. I'm an open-minded explorer who's always up for a challenge. Fast learning and boundless enthusiasm fuel my drive to keep pushing the creative envelope. I am upping my game with a master's in Visual Communication Design from Arizona State University, where I honed my skills and embraced new horizons.

In my professional voyage, I've dabbled in a variety of projects, from restaurant branding to creating eye-catching visuals for salons, schools, and even the food industry. I adapt like a chameleon to fit each unique project's needs.

Beyond design, I've donned the hat of an educator, mentoring over 100 students in diverse design domains, from packaging to crafting killer social media content and user-friendly websites.
My design philosophy? It's all about storytelling through visuals. Every pixel has a purpose, grounded in solid research. My designs don't just look good; they resonate deeply.
