Hello! I'm Arianne
​
I graduated from Georgia Tech's Class of 2019 with a Bachelor's degree
in Electrical Engineering and a passion for prototyping and design.
​
I studied Industrial Design at Georgia Tech from August 2015 to May 2017
and in January 2017, I began studying Electrical Engineering.
​
This website serves to highlight my array of skills in design and engineering as well as who I am outside of work.
ABOUT ME
I'M A DO-ER
I love making prototypes, be they quick rough models or close-to-finished products. I find that prototyping is the best way to find out what works and what doesn't work. It allows me to better understand whatever it is I am trying to figure out. I enjoy doing research and conducting experiments and surveys in order to find out more about a topic.
I'M A DESIGNER
I have always been fascinated with the world around me, how it works, why things are designed the way they are. I tried my hand at majoring in Industrial Design when I first came to Tech. While I ultimately switched to Electrical Engineering, I will always have a mind geared towards creating user-oriented products and experiences.
I'M AN ENGINEER
I make things work and I love learning.
I have built and debugged circuits using logic analyzers, DMMs, oscilloscopes, etc. I am proficient in SPICE programs and Mathcad as well as programming languages like C++ and Matlab. Some of my technical interests lie in Optical Engineering, Laser Theory, and Electromagnetic and Microwave Applications.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEER & INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER
Georgia Institute of Technology | Spring 2019
​
I'm a designer, engineer, explorer, and thinker.
​
With educational and project experience in Electrical Engineering and Industrial Design, I offer insight on user-oriented design and aesthetics as well as technical knowledge on circuits, programming, and electromagnetics.
I am actively seeking a position in
product design, embedded system design or wireless/DAS/RAN engineering.

EXPERIENCE
Georgia Institute of Technology
OCT 2018-APR 2019
UI PROGRAMMING and PRESENTATION
MNCVSM
MOBILE NON-CONTACT VITAL SIGN MONITORING
- Mobile Application for a Health Monitoring System
- Capstone Design Expo Project
Working with an interdisciplinary team of computer and electrical engineers, I designed and implemented the user interface for a mobile application for a pre-existing non-contact health monitoring system. I also maintained the project website and designed the poster used in the Capstone Design Expo held on April 23, 2019 .
​
APR 2019
PROTOTYPING and PROGRAMMING
W.I.L.D.R.
- Embedded Systems Design Final Project
Wow, It's a Line Drawing Robot! With a team of three electrical engineers and one computer engineer, I created a drawing machine using a VEX linear motion kit, two VEX motors, one H-bridge and one Raspberry Pi 3. I designed and assembled the preliminary drawing apparatus and programmed preliminary motion using C++ and an Mbed. I then assisted in rewiring it and converting the code into C to run on a Raspberry Pi 3.
​
NOV-DEC 2017
PROGRAMMING
ROBOT DETECTION
- Digital Design Lab Final Project
With an interdisciplinary team of computer and electrical engineers, I wrote around 800 lines of code in VHDL to program a DE2 Bot to travel a secured area and detect "intruder" robots, i.e. other robots.
​
APR 2017
HUMAN FACTORS IN DESIGN
CAR INTERIOR DESIGN
- Human Factors in Design Project
I worked with an interdisciplinary group of engineers and industrial designers to design the interior of a car that accommodates for 95th percentile males and 5th percentile females. Designing the car included the sizes of the seats, how far away buttons and other things would go, how high the steering wheel should be, the configuration of the dashboard and radio system, etc.

DEC 2016
CONCEPT DESIGN and DIGITAL DESIGN TOOLS
RESPONSECARDNXT 2.0
- Intro to Design Computing Project Series
I based my project on Turning Technologies' ResponseCardNxt, but it is in no way affiliated with Turning Technologies.
Tools Utilized: Adobe Illustrator - Concept Design and Outlining of the ResponseCardNxt 2.0; Adobe Photoshop - Manual Rendering (coloring, shading, etc.) of the ResponseCardNxt 2.0; Axure - Interactive UI Creation; Adobe AfterEffects - Video Editing
​
AUG 2015
DECODING and ENCODING
SPIKE
- Paper Lantern Design for the Atlanta Beltline Lantern Parade
- First Year ID Studio Project 1
I chose and decoded a 2-D image and translated and encoded its 2-D elements and attributes into 3-D space. I made iterative design drawings, conducted light and material studies and created low-fi models for testing, and then crafted a durable lantern using three types of bamboo (thick flats, rounds, and thin flats), tracing paper, with tape and glue for binding.
