Hi I'm Brooke!

I am a fourth year Product Design student at the University of Minnesota who is committed to producing high-quality, sustainable design. I believe that design has the power to improve people's lives and I am dedicated to creating innovative and functional products that do just that. When I'm not working on school projects, you can find me running, hiking, gardening or crafting. Whether I'm working on a project for school or pursuing my own personal projects, I always strive to learn and grow as a designer. I am constantly exploring new materials and technologies that allow me to push the boundaries and I am always up for a challenge!
