This semester, I will be focusing on this problem and purpose:
Problem Statement: Due to sanitation issues, touchable art at the de Young museum in San Francisco is available only by advanced appointment, limiting the experience for blind and visually-impaired visitors.
Purpose Statement: The purpose of this study was to research de Young's sanitation procedures and develop a system for blind and visually impaired visitors to touch the touchable art during the museum's open hours.

Hello!
My name is Abby and I am a graduating senior at SFSU. As a Visual Communication Design major, I'm very interested in the visual aspects of our everyday lives. I feel that designers are often the unsung heroes of our culture. After all, "good design is invisible."
I like to find inspiration in everything: from art to unexpected discoveries, but most especially nature. In addition, a large part of my approach to design is from my interest in video games. I strive for fun and synergy in all I do. I look up to Jenova Chen of thatgamecompany. He strives to redefine what video gaming is by creating incredibly unique experiences. Another designer I find meaningful is Shigeo Fukuda, whose work is simplistically playful yet sends powerful messages. I admire those who approach their work lightheartedly, but are always trying to push meaning.
I hope to create worthwhile connections in my work and personal life as I continue into my career. I never want to stop learning from others and the world around me.

I am
Positive, Curious, Whimsical, Persevering, Reflective, Listening
