Kathryn Proulx is a multidisciplinary designer living in Fairfield, Connecticut. Currently my time is split between living and working in Connecticut and finishing my thesis work in Communication Design at Parsons School of Design in Manhattan.
Prior to now, I have been the design assistant at W Magazine, an award-winning fashion magazine published by Conde Nast, and the in-house designer and project manager for Art-Space, New Haven's premier contemporary art gallery.

Back to School / Senior Thesis

August 28th, 2009 · 2 Comments

It’s back to Parsons on Thursday.  Kind of unreal to think that this will be my last year!  I’m mostly fufilling my liberal arts requirements (French, Urban Branding, Psychology of Eating Disorders?) but my biggest class is Thesis.  I’m not sure of the parameters yet but I do know that our first semester hinges upon research, and our second semester is when we build, fabricate, code, and/or design our project.  I know that I want to do something involving technology; web design (including interface and back-end), an app/widget, or something of the sort.  I really want to use this as an opportunity to teach myself skills that I haven’t had a chance to learn in school; designing databases or programs for example.  I have just one idea so far that involves gamers (so far from my interests/personality!) and I’m hoping to brainstorm more ideas.  I know ideas are money but if you have an awesome idea for a website, widget, app, light computer program, or anything of the sort—let me know!  I’ll probably be posting more about my progress as school starts so watch this space.

    for my website I wanted to do a silouette (pardon my bad spelling) of a city scape in the night sky. but I’m worried because it’s a little similar to a Georgia O’keef painting, which I didn’t realize at the time, but I don’t want to accidentally plaigerize, yunno? what do you think?
