Our Executive Board

"I joined DFA because I wanted to become involved in an RSO that would allow me to learn more about the Human-Centered Design Process and design thinking. DFA has allowed me to work on projects that have created a positive impact in the community and it is truly incredible being able to apply what we learn. Everyone in DFA is passionate HCD and working towards creating something beneficial for our community."

"I joined DFA to meet more people interested in sustainable/human-centric design, and to learn from people in other majors!"

"I joined DFA because I wanted to learn more about the human centered design process while also getting hands on experience going through the entire process. DFA has allowed me to create a positive impact on the CU community and work with an amazing community of people!

"I joined DFA to further develop my interest in Human Centered Design and because this organization strongly believes in doing service and giving back to our community through its work."

"I joined DFA because I wanted to find a community of students who were also passionate about design, as well as to gain experience in the field!"

"I joined DFA to challenge my design ability, whilst collaborating with individuals from different areas of study. My knowledge surrounding research, communication, and presentation has improved significantly since joining DFA, and I have also been able to meet great individuals along the way! DFA fosters an environment of creativity, collaboration, and camaraderie that I recommend for anyone looking to branch out during their time at UIUC."

"I joined DFA because it gave me the chance to work on meaningful, tangible projects that positively impact the community. DFA has become a place where I've been able to meet a lot of cool people, learn new things, and pursue my passion for making a difference! I think DFA has a place for everyone, no matter where you're from or what you're majoring in."

"I joined DFA for the opportunity to explore my passion for design as a non-design major. Learning how to use and apply the Human Centered Design Process has allowed me to make a positive impact in the community as well as find an interest in community outreach, skills which I will bring forth into my public policy focused career. I am so grateful to be a part of this amazing RSO!"
