Engineer. Designer. Graduate Student.

Whitmire Vo

I've been to all 7 continents, which says a lot about how I make decisions. I tend to just go. My career has followed the same logic: engineering, then UX, now industrial design. Big turns, winding roads, no straight line.

I'm an aspiring polyglot and a forever student. I pick up new perspectives compulsively with full commitment. But for someone who's always moving, I'm deliberate about staying grounded. I'm still figuring out where all of it converges. RISD feels like the right place to find out.
