Tipton Design Studios- Design + Business + Environment + Technology

Welcome to Tipton Design Studios- Here you will find a mix of our portfolio pieces, presentations, and work we have created both as professional industrial designers for various organizations and as a graduate student at California College of the Arts. At CCA I was one of two people awarded a dual master’s candidacy, completed the three-year program, and received both an MBA in Design Strategy and an MFA in Industrial Design. Through the two Master's programs, I specialized in children’s design and rapid prototyping. I believe that creative self-empowerment and stewardship of our environment walk hand in hand.

As a current candidate for an MFA in Design I am completing a thesis project based on methods of  combining of materials gathered from the leftovers, trash and scraps that man leaves behind.  In some cases man has changed the landscape and then moved on leaving debris in his wake.  In others he is still actively producing these materials. The materials I use include textile and other industry cast offs, old rusty engine parts, wood scraps and design or art products being thrown away.
