JAN 2026 - APR 2026       Engineering Mural | Group Project

Rochester Institute of Technology

 In a small group of 4 students, we were tasked with creating a mural for the RIT College of Engineering. Following meetings and tours with the Dean and student representatives, we created drafts, presented these ideas, and over 600 engineering students voted on their favorite design, during which, my design was chosen. We painted the mural as a team, and it is now permanently installed outside in a high-visibility walkway of RIT’s campus
