Why EDI?
After seeing how a piece of jewelry that they made affected the wearer, Clark realized how much of designing products couldn't be expressed in engineering alone. From this experience, they wanted to learn more about how people and design interact so they could design not only for function, but truly improve the lives of those that use it as well.
Education
