Capstone:  Design of Mechanical Braillewriters

Capstone Advisor:  Christopher Bull


Industrial Design is the study and practice of finding and creating intuitive solutions to the world's problems while keeping in mind the needs and behaviors of the people the final product is meant to help.


I partnered with the American Printing House for the Blind to understand and improve the design of mechanical braillewriters.


Acknowledgments:  I am so incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported and shaped my journey at Brown: my parents, Bart & Sharon; my best friends, Meghan Mozea & the short-haired derivative femmes of solid mechanics; my professors and mentors, Chris Bull, Sarah Skeels, & Deb Mills-Scofield; my partner, Isaku; and of course, my cat, Stalker.

"Mentor to engineering students, monitor in the Brown Design Workshop, and CEO of a design company, Diana took great advantage of what Brown offers and also gave back at least as much as she takes away." --Chris Bull
