Abiola Makinde, EDI '25Design Engineering, Design Research, Healthcare, Integrated Product Service Systems
About
Abiola is a research and process oriented designer whose passion for making derives from the makers in her family. Abiola hopes to continue broadening and heightening her imagination in order to use design engineering to develop innovative and special outcomes within the sphere of healthcare.
Why EDI?
As a research based designer, Abiola is familiar with the importance of project collaborators and the value that is added when different perspectives/approaches converge. Abiola decided to pursue a study in Design Engineering because she wanted to reinforce her Industrial Design knowledge and making practices with more technical yet creative forms of thinking. Being that Abiola is keen on physically expressing her interest in healthcare innovation, the EDI program will allow her to pursue research based opportunities that will heighten and root her human-centered design process.
