Good product designs meet two criteria -- they serve a need that makes life better and are easy to use. Alumna Arna Ionescu, class of '92, relayed this and more to middle school students when she spoke at an assembly in January. With a career in design, currently working at Proteus Biomedical, her current project is to help determine how people could best use a cutting-edge technology that enables a pill -- once swallowed -- to communicate with one's cell phone. During her talk, Arna also told students she would not have embarked on a design career without her Nueva education, as it provided her with some vital experiences such as collaborating with classmates.
