"Small things can change you; they might not seem significant at the <me and perhaps they don’t happen
all at once, but the change is inevitable. The work I’ve made are representa<ons of that change, rooted
in my own personal narra<ve as a transgender woman. The star<ng point of much of the work are
comments or words people have said to me, the goal has been to translate those thoughts, words, and
percep<ons into objects. To decode this, I’ve chosen the chair for its connota<ons and connec<on to the
human body." - Naomi Miller

Vignelli Center for Design Studies 2023 Summer Design Workshop
to
Reception:
This exhibition showcases twelve unique lamp designs created during the Vignelli Center for Design Studies 2023 Summer Workshop. Students and designers from the global art community participated in a week-long workshop divided between the Vignelli Center for Design Studies at RIT in Rochester, New York and The Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York.
Inspired by the Vignelli Archives, participants develop a project of their own design that they explored under the supervision of Vignelli Center staff and through the facilitation of master craft glass blowers from The Corning Museum of Glass.
VCFDS Director Josh Owen designed a custom lamp base for the workshop in order to set some unifying parameters for the body of work to be produced. “Vignelli Red” was selected as the color for these bases in order to create a link to the Vignelli ethos and to offer ‘consistency in advance’ to the experimental grouping. Additionally, the famous Unipolar Slider Switch designed by Achille Castiglioni was selected to be a part of the lamp assembly to pay homage to the connection between the two designers.

RIT Interior Design Senior Capstone
to
Reception:

to
Over the course of two consecutive capstone courses in the senior year, RIT interior design students execute a self-generated and self-directed design research project. The goal of the Interior Design Capstone thesis is to respond creatively and imaginatively to an emerging circumstance, ongoing debate, or real-world issue and contribute to conversations relevant to the profession of interior design. The impressive array of topics includes design thinking approaches that consider not only the challenges of the global COVID -19 pandemic but research and creative agendas that have longevity with responsive, resilient designs.
Charged with independently identifying a problem based upon personal interests and using design as their vehicle, students propose a creative design solution. The proposals respond to theoretical and evidentiary findings collected from an exploratory research agenda and literature review. The capstone culminates with a written manuscript inclusive of a creative design proposal that is defended through formal, oral examination with a professional jury team.
