Procter & Gamble Co-Op | Fall 2024
[Industrial Design, Graphic Design, Design Research + Development]
This fall, I worked as an industrial & sustainable design intern at Procter & Gamble, one of the most successful multinational consumer goods corporations, where I worked in their headquarter office in Cincinnati, Ohio. I specifically worked within their 1TPT (Transformative Platform Technologies) Innovation team: there, I was surrounded by individuals with many backgrounds in not only design, but chemistry, engineering, research, marketing, and more. This collaborative and unique environment allowed me to better understand the world of both front-end and back-end innovation design and the ability to benefit from a multifaceted company that focuses in all types of products ranging from shampoo to medicine to diapers— and in return, I could share my talents with a fresh design lens.
