My name is Olivia Banks. I am on the cusp of earning my BFA in Product Design from the University of Oregon. I was raised in Portland, Oregon, where I was lucky enough to be mere miles away from some of design's biggest powerhouses. I specialize in soft goods, with a special fondness for technical design and material design. Whether it is through well-researched functionality or the ability to tell a compelling story, the objects I produce are meant to resonate with users and stay out of the landfill. I am looking forward to finding my spot in the design industry to create meaningful objects as I continue to learn and grow as a designer and as a person.
