Hi, I’m Sienna Giuseppi, a second-year Mechanical Engineering student at Duke University, minoring in Computer Science and Visual Arts. I combine creative problem-solving with hands-on engineering to design thoughtful products, and I’m especially passionate about consumer electronics and user-centered hardware. I love learning new tools and techniques, collaborating across disciplines, and turning ambitious ideas into elegant, usable products.
