"The design team at GE Appliances is like a family. They cared about my growth, giving me opportunities to learn new skills and develop as a professional. It was eye-opening to experience the entire product design process, from initial consumer research to solving manufacturing challenges."

REBECCA ALVORD
Senior Industrial Designer: Present
Industrial Design Intern: 2004-2005

"One of the most valuable things that I gained from my internship is the ability to identify a good design. A perfect design is invisible and natural. If a design draws too much attention to itself, we had better rethink it."
