Jiyeon Chun, a junior at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Design studying Product Design and Human Computer Interaction (BDes ’24), spent this past summer interning with Petit Pli, a London-based material technology company, as they opened a flagship store at Battersea Power Station.
Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Design was truly saddened to hear of the passing of alumnus John Little (1956) this past November. John was an incredibly accomplished product designer who was hired by the Ford Motor Company right out of his senior year at CMU. John’s work could be seen all throughout the automotive industry and his presence and expertise will truly be missed.
At the start of the 2023, Carnegie Mellon University's School of Design students Anupriya Gupta, Elaine Lu, and Youngryun Cho were awarded kynamatrix Research Network's "Innovation through Collaboration" grants for projects in design, engineering, and computer science. The kynamatrix Research Network is a nonprofit network of researchers dedicated to the "understanding and advancement of interactive communication, accelerating innovation in design, engineering, and computer science." The award is granted yearly and encourages studies in "interactive communication across the academic disciplines of design, engineering, and computer science."

Our 3rd year Communication Design students created public service messages to tell the story of the region's current state of broadband connectivity. The students' campaigns are critical in helping raise awareness, advocate for and educate the general population about the importance of high-speed connectivity and its role in our day-to-day lives. Thank you to our partners Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission, in collaboration with Allies for Children and Carnegie Mellon University (Metro21 and Traffic21)
Please enjoy some of last year's best work from the entire spectrum of projects and research that our grads and undergrads took part in at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Design.
Organized Chaos represents our work, our process, and us. The way we design is directed by our complex and spontaneous intuitions: we bring form and structure by transforming scattered ideas into polished work. Explore the outcomes from our creative disarray – diverse blueprints, endless iterations, and haphazard all-nighters – neatly organized and packed into our final show. By allowing our free-forming ideas to be guided by order, we bring chaos into clarity.
