My name is Hannah Wilk, I'm an Senior at Olin College, where I study Mechanical Engineering. Through my time at Olin I have developed a passion for design and visual communication.
As I developed my skills an an engineer, I questioned why certain projects continued after classes or why some projects disappears upon completion. From my observations I realized that the successful projects did a better job of explaining how they added value to individuals in specific contexts. It is great to create an awesome new technology, but if it doesn't have a context to live or people to use the product it will not be successful. This is is why I spend my time developing communication for products or projects that utilize human centered design.
When I'm not implementing synthesis frameworks, pulling insights from user-visits, or helping to develop design communication, I'm running around either playing sports or planning my next film. My many interests include user-oriented design, user experience, film, and other technical visual mediums.
