Hey everyone, my name is Haley Kim. I am originally from Korea and I was majored in Jewelry design for my undergrad in Philadelphia. I mostly work for my projects with CAD and am looking forward to explore more at our department. My goto software is Rhino, Zbrush, and Formlabs but I know that there are still a lot to learn more other than these softwares. Since I was a jewelry major, most of my works are jewelry but I am excited to design any medical-related devices such as hearing aids, and would love to get to know about Arduino!
Hey there, I’m Carol! I was born in China. I achieved a dual degree in Industrial Design and Studio Art concentration in New Media and Fashion before coming to PoD. I like making fashion stuff and sometimes dream of being a fashion designer. I’m obsessed with milk tea. When I feel stressful, I will grab some milk tea or fruit tea, which will effectively calm me down. I’m here to dive deeper into Arduino through this course, although I’ll admit I’m a tad nervous about whether I’ll grasp it all.
My name is Zhiwen Fu and my nickname is Kira, I came up with this name because it’s rare so I can avoid the embarrassment of having to rename myself with someone else. I’m from Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, China, also known to others as the home of martial arts (so don’t piss me off lol).
I really enjoy designing things and using my hands to make them, it makes me happy. I graduated from Auburn University with an undergraduate degree in Industrial Design, during which I made a lot of models and furniture, including chairs, lamps, eyeglasses, and amusement rides.
I’m glad I was able to come to SVA to continue learning more, and I’ll keep trying.
I used to study Communication Design at RMIT University and obtained a Destination graduation certificate. I previously worked as an Art Editor at ELLE magazine, where I gained extensive design experience and developed a unique understanding of aesthetics. During my undergraduate studies, I became deeply interested in the psychological direction of toy design and speculative design, exploring how design and psychology can be combined to create works with a greater therapeutic function. After joining the MFA Design Product project, I hope to delve deeper into more therapeutic forms of toys and exhibitions that trigger public awareness of social issues. I aim to contribute to society through my efforts and collaborate with other designers and professionals in the project to bring new ideas and breakthroughs to the design industry. I believe that design is not just a form of aesthetics but also a problem-solving approach. She plans to continue focusing on social issues and use design as a tool to create better living experiences for people.
I am Jiaqi Gu, an industrial designer from China. I am curious about different things including new technology. And I’d like to learn some new knowledge and meet with new friends.
Finally, I want to say what a wonderful world it is, made up of wonderful people.

Hi, I’m Becky! I’ll be your instructor for Making Studio. Here’s a little bit more about me: I love to make things and share them. Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve loved to do all sorts of crafts, like sewing and knitting. I learned some DIY electronics in college at Parsons School of Design and fell in love with combining electronics with soft materials to make art, costumes, and other gadgets. I’m a self-employed content creator. I’ve published several hundred step-by-step guides about everything from jewelry making to internet-connected displays. Before striking out on my own, I was product manager at Instructables, director of wearable electronics for Adafruit, and senior video producer for MAKE Magazine. You can find more of my work on my website and my YouTube channel and Instagram. After Parsons, I went to Arizona State for grad school, where I dropped out twice– once from a Ph.D. program and the second time from an MFA in sculpture. I’ve lived in New York City for 17 years, and I was raised in Connecticut. I’m really excited to get to know you and your creative work.
I usually ride my Vespa scooter to get to class.
I love animals, and I’ve got a dog and two cats.
Please feel free to reach out to me at any time. I’m always happy to schedule a 1:1 meeting or help over Slack or email between 8 am and 10 pm.
I’d love to get to know you a bit more, as well as get you set up on the class blog. Please check your email for a WordPress invitation to MakingStudio.blog, create your account, and introduce yourself in a new blog post. Please include a recent photo of yourself, and let me know where you are from, what you were doing before coming to PoD, any other info about your background that you care to share, some of your favorite things to make, do, and eat, what you are most looking forward to in this course, and what you are most apprehensive about in this course. I’d also love to follow you on social media if you want to share your links.
Before we get started, all bean products and beans could be replaced with potatoes. Now that, we’ve got that simple fact out of the way, I like dinosaurs, trains, gems/minerals and comics. I’ve been in New York my whole life and used these influences in my art for forever. I love to sketch and I love to make art in general. I’ve been working on my brand, BRND, for the last 7 years or so and if you want to check it out the site is here. You’ll see a bunch of clothing and you may even find some writing on there. Also feel free to follow me on insta. OK Team Potato Bye Bye now
I am proudly Peruvian 🙂 I was born and raised in Huancayo which is a city pretty near to Lima, the capital, where I spent over 11 years of my life studying and working. I decided to study Industrial Engineer since I’ve always been good at maths, but, honestly, I wasn’t sure what was my calling at that time and I’m still trying to figure it out.
My background is in sales and marketing. I’ve been working at Adidas Peru for over 6 years in 3 different roles, optimizing processes, leading digital and business strategies implementations and helping the retail business keep growing and being profitable.
However, design and art have always been part of my work. I love drawing and painting, mixing colors and fonts, and turning any idea, chart or data into something easy to apply, use and read. So, I felt the necessity to connect and immerse my self into this world and improve my design skills. I do believe that design always matters and it could be the only way to innovate and tackle many world problems in the coming years. Education and sustainability are two of the topics that I would to speak up and work on.
Likewise, I’ve been dreaming about NYC for so long, so found this program in this city was such one of the best matches! I’m still not an expert in the design world but I’m very excited and happy of what is coming. Can’t wait to learn!
After work, I was always running, dancing and learning something new 😊 These are still my favorite hobbies. Running a marathon is going to be my next challenge.
