Founded by a small team of students in the winter of 2022, Outlines Carleton is the School of Industrial Design’s first student publication. Their purpose is to create a publication showcasing the people and stories of the School to reflect each passing year. By showcasing student work and creating a space to share thoughts on prevalent topics in design and society, the Outlines team aims to advocate for literacy, mentorship, and community building through an appreciation for design in everyday life.
To draw an outline gives shape to new ideas, highlighting only the most important parts to define a space of endless possibility.

Bronwen Feeney-Svab
Editor-In-Chief & Chief of Operations
As a designer fueled by curiosity, I am always eager to learn and take on new challenges. I believe that industrial design goes beyond just creating physical products; it’s a means of communication that reflects intent, thought and action. I am often inspired by designs in which I can clearly see the care and attention to detail displayed by the designer. As I continue my studies in Industrial Design at Carleton University, I look forward to further expanding my design skills and letting my curiosity drive me.

Ethan Angus
Writer
I am in my third year of Industrial Design at Carleton University. I am passionate about pushing my limits and finding a niche application for my skills that puts something different out into the world. I do not want to make something that I know other people will do anyways. I am seeking out direction and dedicating myself to developing expertise towards creating things that are truly special. When I am not pursuing that, I am playing hockey, exploring within and outside of Canada, and making memories with good people.

Yasmeen Taha
Designer
Growing up, I was interested in psychology, mathematics, travelling, and any art form I could get my hands on. I knew I would apply these skills in engineering but was determined not to be confined to a cubicle. Now in my third year of Industrial Design, I’ve realised that design beautifully
connects creativity with practical application. Post-graduation, I hope to create a sense of ease and enjoyment in everyday experiences, with an innovative and sustainable approach.

Zarathustra Spiegel
Writer
I am a third year Industrial Design student in the content department of Outlines. I decided to apply to Outlines because I wanted to be more involved in school, demonstrate what Carleton’s Industrial design program can do, learn more about people in the field, and bring more awareness to Industrial Design. Design for me, must either improve something, or have a beautiful, meaningful narrative/purpose. All this with the inclusion of a well thought out form, specific to its audience. As I continue to go through school I hope to embrace and improve my skills, have fun in the moment and throughout the process, and continue to explore what’s around me and what my interests are.

I am a second year Industrial Design student here at Carleton University. I have been designing for as long as I can remember. From the little doodles on my bedroom walls, to the ceramic sculptures in art class, I love being able to express myself in 2D and 3D forms. As an industrial design student, I like being in a constant learning stage as it provides me with inspiration that helps me develop and improve my designs. Outside of design, I enjoy listening to music, playing sports and cooking!

I am a second year industrial design student from Kyrgyzstan, studying at Carleton University. As an immigrant, I am drawn to multidisciplinary design, exploring how it influences daily life across different cultures and contexts. My goal as a designer is to bring a fresh perspective to every project, harnessing the power of design to connect people, share their stories, and create meaningful experiences in our ever-evolving world.
Maria Fernanda Palma Acros
Designer
I am a second year industrial design student, and it is my first year in Outlines. I like to see design as an inherently human activity, driven by creativity to create solutions, express ideas, and generate emotions. It is inclusive; it doesn’t belong solely to designers but is shaped and appreciated by everyone in some way. It is also a powerful artistic expression that speaks to the culture, history, and essence of each group. Industrial design is not just a profession or discipline but more like a presence that shapes and defines modern life.
