Designer Profile 1 & 2

1. Mark O'Bryan

Mark O'Bryan is a professor at the University of Kentucky's school of architecture. His love for design first started when he was younger. He was really interested with cameras and audio. The cameras play a vital role in architecture because they can help with a vision of a building. O'Bryan also really enjoys the problem solving aspect of his job as an architect. He likes having to solve problems on the fly to produce the best product. Some of the lessons he taught us is that although technology is always evolving, it does not mean it is getting better. He also taught us how it is important to have a vision and to be able to communicate that vision clearly to others.

2. Jennifer Tate

Jennifer Tate is a product designer for LG electrics in New York City. Tate sturdied interior design at UNC Greensboro before turning her attention to product design. She enjoyed the process of how things were made and manufactured. She taught the class her definition of design, "Creating something with intent." This means that everything is designed for a specific purpose. The advice Tate gave to the class was to trust your gut and understand your internal self. If we do these things we gave a great chance to be successful in our jobs.
