What’s the favorite thing you’ve made?

The Printer Discourse – a public art project that collected responses to personal prompts and displayed them using thermal printers mounted on the second floor of the State Center. Each thermal printer had a roll of receipt paper that collected answers from one prompt and grew longer as more people responded to the questions.

 

What’s the most frustrating object you’ve used?

The color printer in the student center. It’s inexplicably slow for a super mundane task and it’s always filled with paper jams! Because it’s the only free color printer on campus, there’s always a line or it’s in use.

 

What do you personally hope to get out of this class?

I hope to understand products from a different viewpoint. I love making things work and want to make sure that it interacts with users with intention.
