ABOUT ME
Hii! I'm Aarushi, and I'm studying design at Stanford University. I've created my own, individually designed engineering major to fit my desire to work in the field of industrial design. This major is a combination of human-centered design courses at the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design, along with more technical mechanical and environmental engineering courses at Stanford's School of Engineering. I also have minors in Computer Science and Comparative Literature!
I see a lot of problems in the world and I want to be able to use my technical skillset to fix it. Whether that be working on educational disparity with 9 Dots, designing healthcare aids for osteoarthritis with Stanford's Chaudhuri Lab, or even facilitating meaningful conversation to combat the growing loneliness epidemic on university campuses. I'd love to work in the climate change or healthcare spaces, and really use my skills to design a better future.
Beyond design, I love books, music, and theatre! I read 25+ books a year (aided by the complit minor), play the guitar and bass, and I am a part of the Stanford Shakespeare Company as a producer and set designer & am a paid scenic technician for Stanford's theatre department. I am a huge fan of modern feminist literature (Virginia Woolf and Clarice Lispector are my homegirls) and am a devoted 5 Seconds of Summer fan. Also I am a Bay Area native so go Sharks #thefutureisteal.
