SEGAL DESIGN INSTITUTE INTERNSHIP

During summer of 2021, I partook in a 12 week internship that took on a number of projects that involved the designing and manufacturing of bespoke solutions to problems had by patients of the Shirley Ryan Ability Lab. In particular, I led the development of an umbrella attachment for wheelchair users who have limited mobility or hemiplegia.
