Taylor Kagie, EDI ' 25Design Engineering, Physical Product Design, UI/UX
About
Taylor is excited to explore design in a space that supports adventurous ideas. Although she has a background in biomedical engineering, she doesn't want to limit her design space to only healthcare. She hopes to be able to take any crazy idea and run with it. Taylor is well aware that there will be many failures along the way; she hopes to create something impactful while exploring the realm of what's possible.
Why EDI?
Taylor's passion for innovation began at the age of 16 when her father had his leg amputated and replaced with a prosthesis. For a while, her goal was to go into prosthetics and orthotics so that she could continue the ingenious work others had done before her. However, as time passed, Taylor wondered if limiting herself to one design field was what she wanted. While she still wants to help people and create technological art like her father's prosthesis, Taylor decided to pursue EDI because it offers a more exploratory approach to the possibilities of design work.
