Meet the Designer
I am Victoria Southwick. I am from a small town in the Champlain valley nestled between the lake and the green mountains. Best of all worlds.
With incredible support from my family and friends, I have been able to design and create all my life.
That creative pull has landed as an industrial design student at the Savannah College of Art and Design. My ultimate goal is to design the ideal lifestyle for everyone who wants it.
Victoria Southwick
I am a designer.
I pride myself on my sound designs and excellent craftsmanship. I'm always exploring new materials, trying new techniques, and looking for new inspirations. I continue to look for new projects, and challenges, striving to bring my style to each piece I create.
Professional Info.
I am currently a student of Industrial Design at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) and loving every moment. I am a professional designer, and for every assignment, I reach outside the box to expand my experiences. SCAD is exposing me to many new design tools from which I am building my toolbox. This lifelong toolbox will enable me to create unique innovative designs that will make lives better.
