Alumni Spotlight: Drew Buffkin

During my time at the University of Kansas, the Industrial Design program provided a solid foundation in design thinking, creativity, and problem-solving through its hands-on approach and focus on human centered design. This education has been invaluable in shaping my career, as I now work as an Associate Design Director at Momentum Worldwide, an experiential marketing agency. In my roll, I’m involved in developing and managing design direction, build, user flow, and key visuals for pop-up events at music festivals, trade shows, and sporting events. The hands-on experience in the Industrial Design program allowed me to approach design challenges in my career with the development of design practices and giving me the ability to lead and manage projects from concept to execution.
