Harrison Lin<span style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0.45px;">Originally from Dallas, I am a Mechanical Engineering Student at Rice University slated to graduate May 2018. My interests include human-centered design thinking, product engineering design, and environmental sustainability.&nbsp;My dream is to impact people's lives for the better through thoughtful, responsible, and passionate creation.&nbsp;</span>
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">There’s a certain food for the soul found in aesthetics. Studying the nature of form, function, aesthetic, and beauty drives me. Living a life complacent and ignorant of the incredible testaments to human creation seems almost unbearable. My studies in Mechanical Engineering inform my drive to create beautiful, meaningful objects.</span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">My work, both individually and in teams, is a cumulative reflection and crossroads of the multitude of minute design decisions made during the entire process. My body of work centers around minimalistic design -&nbsp;attempting to combine form and function; beauty and utility. I take inspiration from artists like Isamu Noguchi, the Eames couple, and Maya Lin. Engineers like Santiago Calatrava and Horacio Pagani. Designers like Jony Ives and James Dyson.</span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">Through kindling emotion, eliciting interpretation, or evoking contemplation, I create meaning, and consequently succeed as a designer, artist, and engineer. I strive to be a diverse and critical thinker with the skills to tackle future societal issues such as sustainability, energy, environment, planned obsolescense,&nbsp;and waste. By emotionally and conceptually affirming the twists and turns of our world through art, methodically planning and empathizing through design, and physically and materially ameliorating suffering through engineering, I hope to consequently pursue the higher goal of instigating change in this world for the better.</span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"></span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">My partner Nishant Verma's profile page is linked here:</span></span> [[universityinnovationUniversityinnovation.org/wiki/Nishant_VermaNishant Verma|universityinnovation.org/wiki/Nishant_Verma]]
