Suzanne Boyden

Visiting Instructor, Industrial Design Program, Georgia Tech

My interests are universal product and web site design. My graduate thesis project was a personal diabetes assistant that assisted patients to stabilize their insulin levels via diet and exercise. This allowed the creation of a physical product, interface and web community. I currently design packaging, displays and interactive tools at the Rock-Tenn Company. My free time is spent working on my in town bungalow, horse back riding, and creating web sites for friends.

I have taught computing design since 2000, covering 2d and 3d software with a variety of projects that change yearly to reflect real world capabilities and employment needs. These skills are expected from our graduates, and I enjoy challenging students to experiment beyond the necessary basics. Examples of student work are updated after each semester on my web site.
