Riley Baum
My name is Riley, and I’m a third year student in the Product Design program at the University of Oregon. I’m passionate about creating sustainable, functional designs that blend simplicity with purpose. Through my coursework, I’ve developed a wide range of skills, from digital tools like Adobe Creative Cloud and Rhino CAD, to hands-on techniques in sewing, woodworking, whittling, and ceramics. I’ve come to appreciate the full design journey from sketching ideas to prototyping and building final products. I’m excited to keep growing as a designer, learning from classmates, professors, and any opportunities that come my way.
