FLOWTh is project, sponsored by Herman Miller explores the need for

specialized offi ce systems in design fi rms who enroll employees

in distance education courses.

Th e Herman Miller Company

sponsored my third year product

design studio to design an offi ce

system specialized for design

students enrolled in distance

education courses. I worked in a

group of 11 other students through

a process of research, design,

and development. We developed

research strategies and determined

our user group. Th rough design,

we tackled many issues not yet

addressed in distance education,

the offi ce, and a studio setting.

Finally we developed our ideas and,

thus, this is FLOW; an offi ce system

inspired by the design process itself.

Th is project was presented at the

Kansas City Design Center to

professionals from Herman Miller.

It also received an Outstanding

Presentation award at the Kansas State

University Undergraduate Research

Competition this year. I represented

my team for both presentations.
