I’m Asheton Arnold, a recent Industrial Design graduate from Georgia Tech with a BS in Industrial Design and a Minor of Computing and Devices.

When I began my collegiate journey at Georgia Tech, I was on an entirely different track, majoring in Biomedical Engineering. While math and science have always come very easy for me, it wasn’t what challenged or excited me. I was fortunate enough to be involved in a fraternity that encouraged and inspired me to consider other paths that weren’t as “easy” or “safe”…and definitely not expected! After extensive research and consideration, I changed my major to Industrial Design. As a designer, math and science will always be a part of my work, but now the focus had shifted to creative, rendering this change epic enough that I could finally imagine my future!

My passion for experience design was established early as our family frequented Disney and Universal theme parks throughout my childhood. The impeccable immersiveness of Disney and Universal was and always will be awe-inspiring for me. My appreciation for each ride and show has evolved significantly over time. When I was a little guy, it was about anticipation, excitement, and the wonder of each experience. Now, I cannot lie, the anticipation, excitement, and wonder are still firmly in place (always magic!) but now there is the desire to soak up the elements of each experience…each color, shape, sound, smell, movement, etc.
