Rainbow enthusiast, craft mom, Nintendo fangirl and giant theme park nerd. Making things that are cute and round is my specialty! If you're down for bubble tea runs, spontaneous dinner parties and sharing an obnoxious amount of memes, I'm your girl!

Jane sticks to the 3 main food groups: pickles, Sourpatch Kids, and bananas. She’s addicted to learning musical instruments and will most likely own a dachshund one day. Jane loves being outside and will definitely challenge you to a game of Bananagrams. Split.

I do 3D, very much a generalist, but sculpting / organic modeling is where I feel most at home. Hard surface is good too though. I'm a big fan of good topology. I love animals, especially snakes and arthropods. I don't like to do UI/UX, motion graphics. I don't like koalas, they have smooth brains and it freaks me out.

I have always been involved in sports and played for the RIT volleyball team. I also LOVE movies and funny TV shows, specifically Friends, Gilmore Girls, Parks and Rec, etc. In my free time I love to do calligraphy, color, and do arts and crafts, anything that ties me back to my roots of fine, physical, tangible art. Also a crazy typography fan!

I am a development major who couldn't change my major to design, but I still do it anyways. My previous internship as a Product Design Intern helped me learn a lot in User Research, UX, UI and Motion Design and will be happy to share what I learned. Outside of design I like to keep learning new things and am interested in Film making, Fitness, Music, Psychology, Astronomy and a lot more.

I actually transferred into the New Media Design major last semester (so this is my second semester as a New Media Designer) from New Media Interactive Development, which I had previously switched to from Game Design & Development. So while I may have a slightly different experience from those who started in NMD, I do have some experience outside of NMD that I can share. Along with majoring in NMD, I am also minoring in both Game Design and the Japanese Language. So basically, I am really into video games as well as Japanese pop culture such as anime and J-Pop music, and I've even been to Japan twice. To be honest, I am definitely on the more introverted side, but I also consider myself very friendly and open to meeting new people! When I was still part of the IGM department, I even participated on the IGM Ambassador team where I spoke about my major with new students and parents, so I think I definitely have the social and leadership skills to be a good new media mentor. Because I transferred into this major so late, I don't really know many of my current classmates. Everyone already has their current friend groups, so I'd love to have the opportunity to meet more new people in my new major! I hope it's okay that I wrote this much.
