Hey! My name is Ty and I am a junior studying Information (UX Design) and Urban Technology! I am a passionate runner and tennis player, as well as someone who just wants to make a difference in the world, one day at a time. At Michigan, I am involved in a professional design fraternity, a student advisory board for positive social change, and have a part-time front-end development job. Feel free to ask me any questions!

Describe your college experience

My transition to college was not too bad, it took me a couple of weeks to feel comfortable. Yet, after those couple of weeks, everything went amazingly. I had a gap semester as the beginning of my college experience, but I had no problem immediately making connections and growing both academically and socially.

Tip for future students

Do not be scared to just show up to a club or organization, you never know who you might meet or the experience you may gain.

Favorite class

SCAND 331: Introduction to Scandinavian Civilization; this class was an eye opening one in that it taught me how to see different perspectives on ways to live and interact with any environment. It allowed me to gain a greater understanding of myself and my impact as a designer.

Career goals

After college, I want to work in a design related field ideally for an automotive, aviation, or housing related company.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Being with a few friends, just chatting and engaging with each other.
