Miranda Harmon, EDI '22Product Design, Healthcare, Design Engineering
About
Miranda's excitement for impacting others in a positive way transitioned from singing and dancing for friends and family at a young age, to viewing the healthcare field as the leading way to make a significant difference in the lives of those around her. Miranda strives to find purpose in her work by integrating design thinking, strategic problem solving, and compassion for others. She believes in designing products and experiences for all users - forging a connection between designers and users leads to impactful moments that can change the world.
Why EDI?
Miranda pursued an undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering to weave together her passion for healthcare and engineering innovation. Her studies uncovered examples of newly created devices and redevelopments of current underreporting devices.
This piqued Miranda's interest in the user experience and how to translate those observations, through design, into novel devices. With EDI's one of a kind focus on the human-centered approach and the iterative process of engineering design, Miranda found the ideal program to focus on product design, healthcare, and social impact. EDI allows her the chance to immerse herself within the design world and find the exact aspect of device design with which she wants to center herself.
