Former students come to share their Senior Design Projects with Fall ’25 DES.505 class

Last Fall, design students Myles Rich (ID, class of ’25) and Raiden Reyes-Hernandez (VCD, class of ’26) came to Prof Fernando Carvalho’s DES.505 Senior Design Project class to share their capstone projects with their colleagues.

Myles showed his work on charging stations for electric vehicles responding to growing demands in California, as well as mapping, visibility and usability issues when using current stations. 

Raiden presented his work in partnership with a local audio recording studio in relation to the technical and artistic challenges of navigating a changing industry adapting to the rise of AI technologies that impact workflows and outcomes.

Thank you, Raiden and Myles, for your talent and time, and for coming back to my classroom to show your colleagues your projects and share your current and future plans!
