In a world where businesses are constantly seeking ways to streamline their operations and boost productivity, Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Design Alumni Lucas Ochoa and Gautam Bose (BDes '19) might have found the answer with their company, Automat. Automat, which just successfully raised $3.75 million, is a tool that makes building automations as easy as describing or demonstrating them.
The art-science axis has been a persistent theme in the professional life of Emeritus Professor of Design Joseph Ballay, the 2023 Founders Medal recipient. An international advocate for the importance of design in everyday life, Joe has spent more than six decades developing his interdisciplinary vision of design as a fundamental human activity.

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)
