Ashton Turner
Undergraduate
Hello! I'm Ashton and I'm a second-year Industrial Student Student here at Georgia Tech. Using my creativity - whether I'm sketching, doing CAD work, or working on a graphic design project - has always brought me immeasurable joy. While I would undoubtedly describe myself as a problem-solver, I am especially passionate about product presentation, graphic design, and UI design. I love the challenge of presenting a product in a uniquely beautiful way. Industrial design lets me combine my analytical thinking skills with my passion for beauty to create products that are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing.
