One Small Step for Woman
Valentina Arismendi
"One Small Step for Woman" is a story of persistence, equality, and possibilities. NASA's Project Artemis is a milestone not just for women in space, but for women everywhere as it puts us one step closer to gender equality.
It took the first place prize in Society for News Design's 2020 International College Competition.
See Valentina's portfolio for more information on this project.
Becky Byler, Tackling Global Health issues
Biomedical engineer brings her passion for global health to life through non-profit work and marketable designs created using Adobe Creative Cloud.
Along with three other students, Byler helped design SafiChoo, an inventive and inexpensive mobile toilet that can be used to improve sanitation and reduce the spread of disease in refugee camps. The SafiChoo team won Georgia Tech’s most prestigious competition, the InVenture Prize, using images and diagrams that Byler created with Adobe software to present the project.
“Using Adobe Creative Cloud, I can turn my equations and sketches into more visual elements in proposals that help me market my ideas and gain more funding for my projects.”
