Jeremy Dennis

Industrial Design Intern

Chicago, IL, USA
I am an Industrial Design student at the Savannah College of Art and Design.


I am actively seeking internship, freelance, and career opportunities with companies who share my passion for design empathy and relevance. As an idealist, I embrace change; understanding that with it comes risk, but also innovation. I hope to work with, and learn from a great team of creatives in the coming months who share my confidence and passion for the future of design.
