Life-changing designs
Design students from CCAD and OSU recently teamed up with local 3D research and development company Form5 Prosthetics to help create limbs for differently abled children in need. Aaron Jeschke (Industrial Design, 2021) was among those who worked on the project and was recently interviewed by NBC4. Watch the TV feature.

2020 has been a challenging year.

Head to CCAD CampusWell for tips on navigating uncertain and stressful times like these.

Your time at CCAD in 3 emojis: 🤘

Your pandemic experience in 3 emojis:

How has your creative practice changed since the COVID-19 pandemic began? I would say my creative practice and inspiration have both been negatively affected by the pandemic. I work much better in a collaborative setting with my friends and colleagues. Being trapped behind my computer all day is definitely not helping me thrive. I have needed to become much more self-disciplined to keep myself motivated and moving forward every day.

Current artist/designer crush: Paul Hatch

Favorite thing about CCAD: The faculty. The professors here really care about their students. I love my professors at CCAD.

Campus groups or activities: Currently it has been rather difficult to be involved in activities. When I can, however, I like to hang out with my friends exploring downtown on my longboard. I enjoy playing acoustic guitar in my free time as well.
