Olivia Gon

Hi there!

I’m Olivia and I’m a 3rd Year Marketing and Graphic Design Major in my 2nd semester on the Conference Team as a designer :) You’ll usually find me sipping Boba Milk Tea and jamming out to Cantopop on the daily while bullet journaling & hand lettering which I share on @foreverlyliv on Instagram.

I’m also a big baseball fan! As a designer, over the past year or so I’ve gotten into sports social media and design, which I’ll be sharing a little bit about today!

From a design perspective, I love the idea of designing pretty much everything…

Brandon Yap

What’s up designers! 🤠

My name’s Brandon and I’m a fourth year Interaction Design major, currently in my third semester with Scout as the Community Care Facilitator! Over the last year, I’ve spent a large majority of my quarantine here in my silly little Mission Hill apartment, where I’ve transformed my once bedroom into a space where I crank out all my funky designs and projects for work. However, during the time I’ve had to adapt to an online working / designing lifestyle, I’ve experienced (as I’m sure everyone reading this has) MAJOR episodes of burnout, both from Zoom meetings…

Ali Booth

Hi guys!

My name is Ali and I’m a third year Journalism and Interaction Design major. This is my first semester on Scout, and I’m currently a designer on our conference team (wooooo!!!). Since COVID-19 hit over a year ago, I’ve been thinking a lot about how we’ve been largely constrained to internal spaces — how our homes have shifted from territories of rest to extensions of work and stress. As we’ve worked from home, Zoomed from home, and slept from home, it can feel hard to alter the mundane and create a space that’s consistently fulfilling and energizing. I’ve…

Catu Berretta

Hi there,

My name is Catu and I’m a fifth year Computer Science and Design major. I’m currently Scout’s Design Director :). Alongside giving critique to studio teams and having conversations about Scout studio’s future, you can find me biking on the Minuteman Bikeway and designing stuff on Instagram over at @catu.li!

This week I want to share my go-to sources for inspiration when I’m creatively burnt out. For me, these are all reminders that design can be fun, pointless, unstructured and downright weird.

Sreya Katabathuni

Hi everyone!

My name is Sreya and I’m a 2nd-year CS/Business major (with a potential minor in interaction design). This is my first semester on Scout and I’m currently a Studio developer for ViTAL (love you guys). As someone who doesn’t have an extensive design background, it’s been really interesting delving deeper into the process and exploring the ins and outs of design: bonus points for also learning Figma.

If you’re anything like me — that is, you spend countless hours on TikTok, peep my short-lived TikTok career — you’ve likely stumbled upon an array of design-related content. The more…

Sedi Aidam

Hey hey!

I’m Sedi, I’m a 2nd Year Game Arts and Animation student and this is my second semester on Scout as a motion designer for the Production team. I don’t remember exactly how I was introduced to Scout but I’ve admired this group’s work since before I was accepted to Northeastern, and I am immensely grateful to be a part of it now. More about me, I am a recovering manga addict who is also into anime (by association) and can talk your ear off about any book or show even if I haven’t watched it.

Although I love…

By Nora Holland

To say the pandemic changed our lives is an understatement. For almost a year now, we have been living our lives confined to minimal spaces in order to stay safe. Traveling has become almost nonexistent, and finding ways to escape the repetitious daily routine of COVID become slimmer as the weather gets colder and the virus grows more contagious.

Because we are no longer going out into the world and making new memories and experiences, creativity during these times can be tough. The sameness of day-to-day activities and regimens doesn’t allow much room for us to come…

Ethan Pidgeon

Hey! My name is Ethan. I’m currently a second year Business (marketing) and Graphic Design student, and am thrilled to be a part of the Scout team for the first time this semester. My role as photographer and videographer looks a little bit different these days without in-person events to document, but I’m all for a creative challenge.

In this week’s WDD, I wanted to share a creative challenge I’ve been pursuing. For the past 39 days and counting, I have designed a poster every single day. …
