Hi! I'm Caroline Gryder
I'm a senior studying Industrial Design at Auburn University.
I was initially an architecture student, but I sought a field that allowed me to express more creative freedom. Once I discovered Industrial Design, I was excited to dive into it. As an extroverted individual, I thrive in collaborative environments and am genuinely excited about the prospect of contributing my passion and hard work to the dynamic field of Industrial Design.
