ABOUT
Hello! I’m Rosalía Mejía Rivera, an honors graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, with a BFA in Industrial Design.
Throughout my time at RISD, I found interest in furniture and tabletop design with a special focus on the way that movement can help us engage with products. Keen on problem-solving and research, but also interested in the way aesthetics can be molded around function, I’ve found my work lies within the visually striking yet utterly functional.
