Fellow:Brittany Wouden

Brittany is currently a junior, pursuing a B.F.A in Creative Media and Digital Culture at Washington State University. She is actively involved in the growing Digital Culture major at her university and is soaking up every aspect of the growing industry that she can. She is currently facilitating a transmedia storytelling art show in the CMDC’s gallery space showing the collaboration of technology and art to convey a story and a message to an audience. Her participation includes 3D modeling and printing, graphic art and design and the use of augmented reality software to enhance an audience’s experience.

Before transferring to Washington State University, Brittany earned an A.A.S. in Interior Design in Salt Lake City, Utah. In her career she hopes to merge the power of technology with the physical space to make businesses and homes run cleaner and more sustainably. She was a founding member of the International Interior Design Association student chapter at Salt Lake Community College and has explored impact design on sustainable schools in South Africa. Other projects include design work for Habitat for Humanity in Salt Lake City and entrepreneurial work on technology infused commercial spaces.

Brittany would love to see the entrepreneurial mindset come to her campus through this University Fellowship. She wants to bring the power of futurism and technology together with the innovation of student design. She would love to inspire her colleagues to not just be another link the chain but to break off and make their own way.

Brittany was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah to a large family. Her interest in technology and innovation began at a young age while her father worked as an engineering researcher at University of Utah. Upon graduation Brittany would love to work with both her interior design and technology interests to engineer more functional and modern spaces commercially.
