DEAN’S MESSAGE
We cannot guarantee success in the outcome.
by Marvin J. Malecha, FAIA, Dean
We can deserve it. – Cato
T
his time of rapid change demands more from
each individual with every transformative occurrence. It is a time when the essence of our culture
is questioned. It is a time when the boundaries of
human understanding are being pushed to new
horizons. It is a time of shocking perspectives on
a future that holds within it interconnectedness to
the farthest regions of the planet even as we experience the contradictions of advanced technologies
and the rigid adherence to centuries old ways of
doing and seeing. How can the changes under way
inspire change? Is there a way to determine paths
more likely to succeed in such a climate? These
questions, as likely to be pertinent in a corporation
as in a university, amplify our dilemma. Where
will inspiration be found? Is it possible to assemble
the necessary information to ensure the certainty
of success, continuing along paths more comfortable and derived from consensus-building
relationships, before undertaking action?
Cato’s observation provides the answer to the
questions and directs the energy of resolution to
an action posture. It is not possible to guarantee
success in a rapidly transforming context. Nor is
it possible to wait for certainty of action ensuring
success. The certainty of success implies that all
2
DESIGN INFLUENCE / FALL 2005
of the variables of a problem have been identified
and satisfied. It implies a familiarity that simply
cannot be achieved in the realm of innovation,
creativity, and entrepreneurship. That which is
certain is already accomplished. Cato’s observation
inspired the founding fathers of our nation to act.
The decision to act is not only inspired by ultimatums. It can also be stimulated by the desire
to assert leadership, to find freedom in new
circumstances, to be afforded the ability to think
creatively by shedding past assumptions. The
decision to act by thoughtful individuals is the
assertion of leadership necessary to maintain the
vitality of a domain of knowledge. The time of
change that envelops contemporary society is a
moment of opportunity for design practitioners
to assert the power of the design disciplines. It
is a moment when the critical thought processes
embedded in the design domain of knowledge
is an important tool for the action that must be
undertaken. It is an assertion of leadership that is
a vital aspect of the future of our society.
Cato’s second declarative statement, “we can
deserve it” is as worthy of reflection as the first.
To deserve success is very different from an
entitlement to success. This statement implies a
meritocracy that recognizes the impossibility of
achieving success at every turn while acknowledging the importance of perseverance in the
actions that are undertaken. How can success be
deserved? It is important to be bold in response to
the times. Leadership is defined by greater visions,
expansive ideas, and challenging thoughts. It is
critical that determination and commitment
accompany ideas. Nothing is achieved without a
substantial commitment of time and energy. In
the case of innovation and entrepreneurship it
will be necessary to expend energy without the
certainty of compensation or even seed funding.
Old-fashioned sweat equity is the fuel of the most
progressive ideas and actions. It cannot be expected
that funds will always be found to make the difficult transition from the way it has been to what
must be. A way must be identified to nurture,
protect, and support champions.
In a creative community it is the talent of
individuals that is the most valuable currency.
It is in this realization that the spirit of a college
community can be found. This allows an inclusive
definition of the college community bringing
together faculty, staff, students, and alumni.
Through this realization we can celebrate the
accomplishments in an additive fashion replacing
traditional competition with a greater sense of
collaboration. For such a realization to take hold
in a community it is necessary for an intense
interest in the work and contributions of others.
It is necessary that each member of the community
become the steward of the success of every other
member of the community. Champions are
the free spirits among the group. These individuals
will lead by their work. They will serve to produce
the prototypes that will make the way for the larger
community to follow. Their accomplishments
and mastery of their subject will attract others
enhancing both per networks and apprentice
relationships. It is around the work of such
individuals that new directions and innovative
scholarship can be formed. What is it that such
personalities will teach others in the evolution of
new ways and means of work?
Embrace entrepreneurial thought to inspire
new ways and means.
Employ design thought to foster mastery on
subjects of value to society.

and raising a family are.
Build a social network of work.

Learn from error.
Communicate ideas with passion.
Allow for ambiguity.
Pursue continual renewal.
Always celebrate success!
The oral tradition upon which a culture is built
must guide how the work of individual champions
can be best used to assert the leadership of the
design professions. Their stories must be told and
case studies composed that will serve as the model
for others. It is the stories spread across a culture
that stimulate and inspire change. It is the work
of heroes and champions that leads the way. It is
the responsibility of the design professions to tell
the stories.
It is said among the Ekoi of Nigeria that Mouse
brought all the stories into the world. Mouse
may seem an insignificant creature, but she
goes all places and sees all things. Long ago
We must tell the stories of those among us who
excel. We must learn from and be inspired by
those who venture before us. It is our responsibility
to run ahead of our time, to foster a life greater
than that given to us. Even in failure it is possible
to declare success in the learning experience. We
must know the stories!
We deserve to succeed when we have empowered
those individuals who bring their abilities and
insights to the well-being of our society. We
deserve to succeed when we provide leadership
that enhances the lives of those who have little
ability to help themselves. We deserve to succeed
when we measure our success not by personal
or even college accolades but by the way we have
caused others to flourish. Let this be the measure
of our influence as a College of Design, as creative
individuals leading the development of a design
domain of knowledge, as responsible citizens and
in the words of American Indian traditions, as
spiritual beings on a human journey.

U.S. In fact, three out of the past four years Setzer Design Group has
garnered Super Yachts Society awards for Best Designer and Naval
Architect (the Oscars of boatbuilding). The awards ceremony is held
in October of each year in Fort Lauderdale.
The top five nominees each year are judged
by their peers – the top builders and
designers in the world. Again this year
Setzer has two entries in the top five. His
works have made the covers of more than
40 magazines and been featured within
hundreds of articles.
How did he go from architecture to
yacht design? While enrolled at NC State,
Setzer took a year of correspondence
courses from the Yacht Design Institute
(YDI) in Maine. Then with the help and
sponsorship of the Industrial Design
department, then under the direction of
Vince Foote, Setzer spent a year in Maine at
the Maritime Academy/YDI school honing
his yacht design skills before returning to
the College of Design. After completing his
degree from the College of Design, Setzer
earned an associate degree in yacht building.

(woodworking) and styling also reflect his industrial/product design
interests. “I have always considered each yacht we design just a big
product unto itself and thus a product of many smaller industrial
and architectural components combined in a moving mass within a
dynamic environment.”
“Clients seem to be amazed when I ask them why or why not,” says
Setzer. “I believe that is the heart of design school – learning to ask
what if and to see alternatives. Many people
are only given one option and feel that is okay.
I don’t. Ask my staff. I’m never satisfied and
tweak and tweak the details.”
“Architects deal with detail, but when
designing a boat, you deal with 10 times
the detail,” says Setzer. “Not only is it your
responsibility to design the space, but you are
making a product that must be self-sufficient
in an unstable environment. It must propel
itself, generate its own power, make water,
treat waste, store foods, etc., and all the
while it’s nice to remain upright! I like to
think of yachts as custom architecture to the
highest level that you must put in motion,”
Setzer explains.
The responsibilities and thus liabilities
in naval architecture are huge. Setzer
discusses going through the same process as architects: design,
specifications, bid documents, narrowing down vendors, visits
with the client to vendors, final negotiations, contract, working
drawing (which take from nine months to a year), and building
(lasting from two to two and a half years). Currently, Setzer Design
Group is in different stages of about eight projects in a year. There
is a 150’ yacht in Denmark and a line of 38’ boats in Washington
State, a line in Taiwan and another in Maine. One is destined to
be based in Fiji, another in Australia, and yet another as a classic
business commuter in the Northeast. Some clients are going
on world tours and others are using their vessels only on rare
occasions. Setzer is most recently licensing shipyards to use their
name on certain caliber lines of yachts.
Another holdover from design school, Setzer sometimes has boatbuilders create a cardboard model “mock-up” of an entire yacht prior
to construction as was recently completed in an 88’ version in Maine.
He walks through the full-size model with clients to make adjustments
to their needs, heights, basic ergonomics, sight lines, etc., so client
expectations are really worked out before the actual building begins.

for the process.” And that is one of the greatest fascinations of
Setzer and what he tries to ingrain in his employees, the how it will
be built, manufactured, moved, serviced and sold. “It is the heart
of the design challenge, taking it from paper to reality and keeping
a client and a shipyard happy along the way.”
Wife Marcey (BEDA 1984) practiced architecture for a while
and kept up with the business side of Setzer Design Group. She
then earned a degree in interior design from Meredith College
and was more involved with the business. Although she’s not as
involved in the business now, Setzer has four other staff members
that keep very busy. Most have backgrounds in naval architecture
and each has a specialty, like engineering systems, hull design, 3-D
modeling, to add to Setzer’s design vision.
“I guess that is the true essence of design. We like tinkering,
designing and building our own things, trying them out ourselves
and then doing it all over again. That’s all part of being a designer
and we have to stay inquisitive,” he says. Thinking back on his college
days, Setzer commends Bob Burns, Frank Harmon, Michael Pause,
Pat Rand and Vince Foote for taking him under their respective wings.
“I wish I could do it all over again, eyes even wider open, and
raising my hand more often within all my classes, for there was really
nothing to lose,” concludes Setzer.
business, accounting, ethics and different cultures than he ever imagined
needing while in design school, Setzer is set to launch a new company
called Windswell Designs, a marine product design company. Armed
with a passion for surfing and all water sports and a passion for design,
Setzer looks forward to spending more time styling and designing
these production product lines.
Some people ask Setzer how he could have relocated his business
from New Bern to Cary. He smiles and replies that he is on the
water 10-12 times with each boat for testing.
Of course, he is really going to enjoy the 17’ mahogany bay
boat that he has built with his sons, Joshua and Cameron. “It’s like
a fine piece of furniture that has been over a year in the making,”
he says of the scheduled September charter launch. “I’m hesitant
to put it in the water as I have lost count of the multiple coats of
epoxy and varnish and it is really one of a kind. I admit I am my
own worst enemy but the problem was how can a designer of such
works be out riding around in the designs of others? Just had to
build it myself.” This is actually the fifth boat Setzer has built since
his years in the “School” of Design and he has always maintained
a shop for all types of projects. “It’s all about the fact that if I
cannot do it myself or have not at least tried it, then how can I draw

Alumna Brings Nature to the City
K
elaine Vargas is making her dream of incorporating nature into
cities a reality by landing a job in February 2005 at the Center for Urban
Forest Research, a research unit of the U.S. Forest Service housed at
the University of California-Davis.
After receiving her MLA with a minor in forestry from NC State in
2002, Vargas went to Berlin on a Fulbright Scholarship to study urban
ecology and how ecology could be influenced by design.
“I loved the experience of living in Berlin,” Vargas says. “It is the
greatest city in the world.” However, Vargas explains that after completing
a landscape architecture internship and starting a freelance editing
job, she realized the high unemployment rate in Berlin meant it was
time to relocate.
Vargas signed up to be informed of U.S. Government jobs that
mentioned landscape or forestry. Most of the job hits she received were
not suited to her training, until finally, “I got really lucky,” she says. “I
saw an ad for a landscape architecture job with a focus on urban ecology
and forestry.”
She applied right away, was interviewed from an Internet café in
Munich and was offered the job on the phone. She had never been to
California, but the job sounded too interesting to pass up.
Not being a “small-town girl,” the adjustment to Davis, California,
a town of 65,000, has been a bit tough. So she has focused on the part
of town she enjoys—downtown—and takes a 30-minute walk through
an arboretum to get to work each day.
There are two main research projects Vargas works on at the Center.
The first is called STRATUM (Street Tree Resource Analysis Tool for
Urban forest Managers). This regionally based software allows communities to use their tree inventories to calculate the environmental
benefits of street trees, such as storm-water interception, air pollutant
uptake, and energy-use reduction and places a dollar value on these
benefits.
Kelaine Vargas pictured outside of her office at UC-Davis.
While conducting research for the underlying data used in the software, Vargas will travel to Albuquerque, Boise and Honolulu. On these
trips, she is working with cities to collect data on tree growth, environmental conditions and urban infrastructure. After the in-depth research
is completed the results and the software will be made available free of
charge to the public on the Center for Urban Forest Research’s Web site.
The second project, EcoSmart, is a suite of web-based software
programs for landscape architects and other professionals to evaluate
the trade-offs between different landscape practices at the residential
scale in terms of water and energy use, and fire safety. A computersimulation environment allows users to adjust the type and location
of plantings, add water conservation tools, and vary building and
hardscape materials in order to test the effects on energy and water
conservation and on fire safety.
While Vargas admits that she is disappointed that she is not doing
design work yet, she enjoys the work of bringing nature and cities
together.

fter only two years of teaching, Keely Hipp (BAD 2003), the first art
teacher at North Carolina’s Governor Morehead School (GMS) for the
Blind, has been recognized by the Council for Exceptional Children’s
Division on Visual Impairment as a national teacher of the year.
But for Hipp, working with her students is its own reward.
In describing the challenge of teaching such a visual subject to
sight-impaired students, Hipp comments that there is no book that
tells you how to teach the visually impaired.
“The kids teach me as much as I teach them,” she adds.
Walking into her colorful classroom, you would never suspect that
Hipp’s students were sight-impaired. Hipp graduated from NC State
with a lot of experience working with at-risk children through an
internship at SeeSaw Studios in Durham. Hipp still enjoys teaching
at the college’s Design Camp in the summer, so Associate Professor
of Art + Design Vita Plume sent the job position and encouraged her
to apply.
“When Vita sent me the job posting, I got so excited. The more I
read, the more I thought that I could do this,” says Hipp.
The Governor Morehead School, located in Raleigh, has 76
students enrolled in K-12 and life skills programs. Visually impaired
students can begin their education as early as five and continue,
depending on the program, until they are 21. Students that attend
GMS have to be legally blind in at least one eye.
The School always had arts and crafts, but Hipp has introduced
them to art education. A typical week for Hipp includes teaching
about 45 students in all on a rotating basis.
“Keely is extremely student focused,” says GMS Principal Keri
Lohmeier. “She has done a great job with resources and has taken a
lot of initiative and makes sure the kids have a chance to participate
in the community.”
Whenever Lohmeier hears about an art contest that is visuallyimpaired specific, she forwards it to Hipp. “When Keely submitted more
than 20 pieces to the Helen Keller International Art Show in Alabama,
they nominated Keely for the teaching award directly for the exceptional student work,” Lohmeier added. “I supported her nomination.”
“Keely has been extremely positive and has done a wonderful job
of promoting the GMS arts program by providing exhibitions during

school musicals,” she added.
What’s even more impressive is that Hipp is still working on her
teacher certification. GMS is paying for her to get certified in both art
and visual impairment. Teachers get three years to complete certifications.
Bringing her College of Design experience of critiques to the
classroom, Hipp has the academic students maintain a sketchbook.
“Sketchbooks and crits are part of life here – they do mockups,
thumbnail sketches and variances,” she explains.
Sometimes the students get frustrated because they are so excited
to move to the materials. “They don’t get the materials to start a
project until they work out the idea,” says Hipp.
“Feedback is important, too. Students need to learn to recognize
successful projects and the not so successful ones in their work as
well as in others’ work,” she adds.
Hipp recently found some bracelets online that capture her teaching philosophy. The bracelets have the words “See the Possibilities”
on one side and braille on the other side. Discovering the bracelets
online, Hipp called in and ordered the last 100 and made them available to others at GMS.
Hipp’s ability to see the possibilities for a thorough art education
for the visually impaired students at GMS has brought her joy and
recognition.

one-year grant from the Environmental Protection Agency Region 4 to
create the RE3 program to boost N.C.’s recycling totals. Rademacher
decided to stay on as an intern to develop the campaign with Harrison
for a year instead of taking a position in industrial design because he
wanted to help make a difference.
“RE3 is a social marketing based program and is one of a kind,”
says Harrison. She noticed there was no specific campaign to increase
recycling among this 18-34 demographic. The Recycle
Guys program that N.C. adopted from South Carolina is
targeted to 5-12 year olds. Though successful at reaching
youngsters, this childish approach didn’t really appeal
to the demographic that N.C. really wanted to educate to
recycle. Dancing bottles and cans just didn’t cut it for the
20-something crowd, a group who are high consumers
of products that can be recycled. N.C. wanted to reach
them in a new, fresh way. In fact, males in this 18-34
demographic are least likely to recycle. Rademacher’s
designs are aimed at that target group.
For the campaign, Rademacher was teamed with
Harrison and social marketing specialist Allison Hauser,
who is working on her master’s degree in public administration at NC State. The three combined social marketing

program she was working on. So Rademacher started out by volunteering his time to develop a recycling brochure.
12
to fully adopt RE3. Harrison notes that “other states are really excited
about the RE3 campaign so don’t be surprised if you see Jesse’s RE3
designs” picked up by other region members including Alabama,
Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
“When my colleagues from other states see the new RE3 campaign,
they often ask who the ad agency is who put the images together. I point
to Jesse. ‘What agency is Jesse with?’ they wonder. ‘No,’ I say, ‘just
Jesse!’ The best part is that Jesse bundles
creative talent and efficiency with this easy
going personality and dry humor. It’s fun to
go to work when Jesse’s part of your team!”
says Harrison.
The RE3 program was launched this spring. Rademacher
developed a Web site with downloadable images, t-shirts, posters,
commercials — all graphics he also designed. And his can panel
design appeared on 4.5 million Mountain Dew cans in North Carolina
this summer. Harrison says, “Pepsi is on board as a sponsor, as is
Sobe, Surf Camp, Time Warner, Ensely Corporation and many local
governments. We sent two people who registered online at RE3.org to
Los Angeles to the XGames.” Harrison adds, “Jesse’s designs have been
the things to get these big names on board…they like the image.”
So impressed with the RE3 program, the Carolina Recycling
Association awarded Rademacher and teammate Allison Hauser with
Behind the Scenes Awards in March 2005.
As for Rademacher now that his one-year stint is up, he is looking
for another challenge. He was at the right place at the right time to
make a difference.

Article by Susan Simone - grants & development writer, SeeSaw Studio
S
ay I’m a young person who loves to draw. Say I live in a pretty
rundown neighborhood and spending money on art classes is out of
the question. How am I going to connect up with somebody else who
thinks like me?
Charles Joyner is one person who has spent the last 25 years developing some concrete answers to these hard questions. In 1979 Joyner
started Design Camp, an NC State summer program for young people
from rural areas. “It was easy to come up with that concept,” he explains,
One of the banners produced by the SeeSaw Youth Designers during Joyner’s
residency at SeeSaw. The banner is painted and screen printed on nylon canvas.
14
“because when I grew up as a black youth in rural North Carolina, I
had no idea that I could go to NCSU. I wanted to change that.”
In 1998 Charles Joyner joined Department Chair of Art + Design
Chandra Cox in another outreach project, an independent art and design
studio for young people (13-21 years old) called SeeSaw Studio. Founded
by sculptor Steven Wainwright, the studio is located on Main Street in
downtown Durham. As members of the board, advisors and advocates
for SeeSaw Studio, Joyner and Cox have participated in the evolution
of an after-school enrichment curriculum that ranges from technical
training to production and sales. Today SeeSaw Studio Youth Designers
produce FunKtionalTM products including a unique line of pillows, the
Urban Print Collection, sewn from fabric they design and print themselves.
Each year SeeSaw Studio invites two artists to lead a Community
Collaborations project. Joyner made the leap and moved from the
sidelines into the action, accepting an invitation to lead the Fall 2004
residency. His assignment was to work with Youth Designers on two
print-making projects. The first was collaboration between SeeSaw
Studio, the women’s sewing circle and the youth group (Jovenes
Lideres en Accion – JLA) from El Centro Hispano to create banners for
La Feria de Salud – a health fair.
“I had never done anything like that before,” Alma Garcia, a member
of the women’s sewing circle, exclaimed. “But I liked working on the
banners a lot. I liked the color and the way they brought together the
feeling of the culture.”
Color seems to have been an important part of Joyner’s residency.
While the El Centro participants were pleased with their banners, the
Youth Designers were not always enthusiastic about Joyner’s ideas on
color. The second part of the residency was a commission for Blue Devil
Ventures, a commercial development group who wanted a set of decorative
banners for the renovated Durham tobacco buildings, West Village.
“[The Youth Designers] were very outspoken about my colors,” Joyner
commented, “almost going as far as to say that some of my choices were
dated.” Joyner is wearing a black t-shirt and black jeans. The Youth
Designers are dressed in a loud and wild array of styles. Leaning back
in his chair, Joyner continued, “So we talked about it. I suggested that
we do a trend board – collecting colors from what’s out there now:
sneakers, fashions, cars. And guess what – they were correct. My colors
are kind of dated!”
This is the out-spoken energy that Joyner loves. Surveying the banners
waiting to be installed Joyner is emphatic, “I want to point out that the
results, ALL those ideas came from the Youth Designers. In each one of the
final pieces, they can point back to the seed in an idea they introduced.”
The Youth Designers were quick to counter that Joyner was not
a soft sell. “With Charles, he has a method where he’ll come up with
an idea and then he’ll trace it and change it a little bit and trace it and
re-change it.” a young woman explained, frowning as she remembers
struggling with the frustration of revision. “I wasn’t quite as patient as
that so if I did something, he would ask me, ask any of us, to draw it
again in a series and make it a little better each time.”
“Yes,” another Youth Designer added turning his hands palms up,
“even if it was good, he would ask us to refine it.”
Joyner accepts this praise with a sly smile. He gives a lot of the
credit to Director of SeeSaw Studio Amy Milne (BED 1990) and Studio
Program Director Eric Emmanuel Thompson II (BAD 2003), who set
up the schedule and organized the work each day.
“Eric did an excellent job,” Joyner says. “I would walk in and he
would have a schedule for what was going on. There were days when
both projects were going on at the same time; times when every aspect
of the studio, the computer-generated imagery, the screen-printing,
the painting, the sewing, all of that was going on. It was just magical!”
The Youth Designers agreed. “It was the most fun,” one designer
remarked, his hands waving in every direction, “when everyone was
here. The music was blaring and there was a lot of action. You really
felt like something was getting done!”
Looking back, Joyner admits that they had to push hard to meet
their deadlines, but he concludes, “I can’t point to a single bad day!”
Milne remembers the day that Cox came into the software lab at NC
State where she was working and presented a one sentence description of
the studio. “I looked at it and I knew right away I wanted to get involved!”
“One of the things that NCSU or any other university is trying to
figure out,” Joyner explained, “is how we can make a positive impact
on K-12 . SeeSaw Studio is a program that has a lot of possibilities. It is
a lesson for all of us – you don’t have to go into the school and interrupt
the school day. You just have to create something that is different and
adds to that school day. SeeSaw Studio is a wonderful model.”
Charles Joyner leading a critique session with the SeeSaw Youth Designers, Fall 2004
In the fall of 2005, Sean Coleman, another SeeSaw Studio graduate,
enrolled in the class of 2009 at the College of Design. Coleman and all
of the past and future Youth Designers who will cross over the educational
boundaries between their circumstances and the opportunities offered
by the College of Design represent the heart of the connection that
propelled Joyner to take on this residency and sign up for a second
project in 2006.
This is what young people need if they are going to develop both the
skills and the confidence they need to move from loving to draw to
finding joy and satisfaction in a career as a commercial artist – a mentor
who knows how to be tough and cool at the same time and then have fun.
This is the legacy that NC State, Milne, Joyner, Thompson, Cox and all
the other faculty and students have pulled together in the lively partnership that is growing between NC State and SeeSaw Studio.

Molding Automotive Designers
I
n his five years teaching at the College of Design, Associate Professor
of Industrial Design Bong-il Jin has earned a reputation among his
students as a powerhouse.
Jin hails from Seoul, Korea, with experience as both an
academician and a professional automotive designer. In talking about
his teaching, Jin points out the different education system.
Because of the differences in preparation, Jin finds that “You can
mold [U.S. students] to be more flexible. They are creative. They can
incredibly improve in a short time,” he says.
He encourages his students to enter competitions and to focus on
one project. “I know companies’ goals and what they want,” says Jin.
“I search last year’s winners and look for trends. I help with brainstorming and I filter their projects and give them clear directions based
on my research.”
During Jin’s tenure his students have been successful in competitions
including Motortrend Design Competition, Marine Alliance Scholarship
Competition, LexMark International Printer Competition, and NY
International Auto Show Traffic Safety Competition.
Jin holds a Master of Product Design from Hong Ik University in
Seoul, Korea; a Special Certificate of Transportation Design from Art
Center College of Design in Pasadena, Calif.; and a BFA of Industrial
Design from Hong Ik University.
From 1983 to 1990, he worked for Kia
Motors Company (now Hyundai KIA),
designing concept and production cars. He
then served as chief designer for four years
at Daewoo Motors (now GM-Daewoo).
He taught transportation design at Kun
Kuk University and Young Nam University
in Korea and product and transportation
design at Sook Myung Womens University

and Myung Gi University from 1995 to 1999. He was a department
chair of industrial design at Narai Academy of Industrial Design from
1995 to 1998.
Jin also has designed various products at Tandem Design Associates,
a design consulting agency.
Students flock to Jin because he knows his subject well, and helping
his students learn and improve is what’s important to him. “I love
teaching, and my students trust me because they see my work and I
show them everything.”
“It is difficult to combine the styling and engineering mission of a
designer,” he adds. “Students want to stick to their idea only, and I try
to make them understand how to make their design practical.”
Industrial Design and Mechanical Engineering Student Jeff Poon
credits Jin with being part of the reason he came to NC State. He had Jin
as a teacher in Design Camp and was really impressed with him when
they worked on transportation ideas for aliens.
Poon says, “I wanted to learn more about car design and sketching
skills. Bong makes us do needs-based research and is environmentally
conscious.” Talking to students in his senior-level summer studio, you
get the feeling that they are being pushed beyond what they thought
they could do – and they enjoy it. In their comments, Jin’s expertise
and focus on developing students into better designers is obvious.
Industrial Design Sophomore Steven Bockmann, from Raleigh, took
the summer studio from Jin because he wanted to have a head start in
automotive design skills. “He obviously knows us and he is very inspirational as a teacher,” says Bockmann. “He’s excited about teaching and
he makes you glad you are taking the class.”
According to Jin, he trains the students during the first four weeks
by giving them a short-term project. He checks their understanding of
the design process and teaches and evaluates them along the way. “I
push them very hard until they stand alone,” he says.
After they finish this first project, Jin’s students work on two or
three more projects, and he encourages them to use references to
understand recent market and design trends and to get design clues to
reduce the amount of time wasted. They aim to get the best result for
the design problem they are working on.
Steve Chaney, a master’s student from Dallas, worked with Jin on
an independent project – an automated public toilet. Chaney says, “He
has a big personality and will tell you honestly if your design is bad,
and because he is honest, you learn more.”
Students Bee Lee and Mike Bissinger say that learning from Jin has
changed their design process.
Lee, an Industrial Design Senior, says, “Bong makes you see things
that you didn’t before. I knew nothing and learned a lot from him on
how to make a design that can actually be produced. He encourages
us to get ideas from nature because there is no copyright and it helps
simplify our shapes.”
Bissinger, a second-year Track Three student who has an undergraduate degree in graphic design, says there is “a noticeable change in
the way I work to build a case for my design.”
Bissinger had Jin in the studio that worked with Purpleshell, a start-up
company located on Centennial Campus. Jin is the principal investigator on
the Purpleshell project to design a router/server with the end user in mind.
“On that project,
Bong was able to help me
go from the process of graphic
design to industrial design. Our
focus is on process and research. The
process is superficial if you don’t have an idea
about how the product will be used,” adds Bissinger.
Track Three Graduate Student Glenwood Morris says
that Jin is “one of the best professors in form and function
– workflow and how to fit it all in the bus. He helped us with the
human factors and how to do the seating, work spaces, safety issues.”
Morris had Jin in a studio that worked on plans for a mobile radiation van.
For Jin to stay current with trends, he spends a lot of his time
visiting retail stores to research trends, pricing, finishing material and
technology and customer demands, which change constantly. He also
researches world issues, economics, levels of international students
design and evaluates new software and other devices.
As Jin says, being a good designer is not being a skill master but
being a ‘culture leader’ through mass production.
Glenwood Morris works on a clay model of his truck design.

Scholar Craves a Challenge
COMMENCEMENT
B
Commencement Address by Rodney Swink
NC State University College of Design
May 14, 2005
eing selected for the Graphic Design Book Award was the icing
on the proverbial cake for Kerr Robinson, a May graduate. Robinson
came to the College of Design as a Park Scholar, the highest scholarship offered by NC State that includes tuition, room, board and free
laptop, among other benefits. Of her experience at NC State, Robinson
beams that “everything I’ve wanted to do, I’ve been able to do.”
And do, she has. Not only has the Spanish Fort, Alabama, native
been involved in Service Raleigh, served as editor and art director
of Americana – the online literary magazine of NC State
students, and participated in a multidisciplinary studio for Lees
Carpets that produced the rbn commercial carpet, Robinson
also spent last spring in Italy working at Fabrica and Bennetton.
To top all that, her last semester studio was involved in redesigning
the NC State alumni magazine. She published her own book of poetry,
likes to make her own clothes, and takes art classes because she appreciates it and genetics classes for fun. She interned at Fusion Point
which recommended her for another internship at InStyle magazine.
Robinson received a grant through the Park Scholars program related
to genetics. She was nominated for a Fulbright Scholarship, but turned
it down. Whew!
When asked why she decided to attend NC State, Robinson said
she “wanted to do something challenging.” Wolfpack blood seems to
run in the family, too. Both sisters Laura Marie Robinson
(2003) and Lindsey Eason Robinson (2008) were Park
Scholars as well. Also, her father Thomas Dixon
Robinson graduated from NC State in Forestry
as did her grandfather Conley Eason Robinson,
who graduated in Textiles.
“It makes your degree stronger when you
are at a university that has engineers, foresters,
poets…. a variety of fields — you reap the
18
benefits of having their kind of study around you,” she says.
What’s next for Robinson? From her research early on, Robinson
learned of Michael Rock and his work at 2 x 4 in New York. As luck
would have it, when Michael Rock and Susan Sellars of 2 x 4 came to
the college as visiting artists, Robinson was studying in Italy. She will
still get a chance to learn from them, because after 15 interviews and
5-7 offers, Robinson decided to accept an internship with 2 x 4. She
is one of two new interns hired for three months beginning
June 6.
“I’ve gotten good at school, so I desire challenging work,”
says Robinson.
After three months with 2 x 4,
Robinson will take a designer
position at Sullivan & Company.
The Alumni Association chose
her to document her life after
graduation. You can browse
www.alumni.ncsu.edu to see
her blog or visit her personal
Web site at www.tensaw.com.
I
have to begin with a disclaimer. Many of the landscape architecture
students already know this and it is only right that all of you should.
When I first graduated from NC State University with a degree in economics,
I was not really sure what I wanted to do. I found the landscape architecture
graduate program through friends, and seeing how much they seemed to
enjoy all-nighters and doing design-build projects, I developed a keen interest
in the design school. It was summer before I was able to actually apply and
each week I diligently visited Dick Wilkinson, the chair of the landscape
architecture program, to find out if I was being admitted. Eventually I was.
A few years ago I ran into Dick and was reminiscing about the
program when he told me a story. He said that as head of the program
he always kept a couple of slots open for those who wandered in off the
street and sought admission; he referred to these as “street people”. He
would usually wait a while to see what else might show up and eventually
he might take a chance on such an applicant. Well, it turns out that I was
a street person. So now you know the real story of my background. And I
will be forever grateful to Dick for taking that chance on me.
It is a great honor to be here. I have had the privilege of speaking to
many groups on many occasions across the nation but the opportunity
to speak at a commencement exercise, especially at my alma mater, is
something very special.
For those of you who may have had a long night celebrating, or who do
not really want to listen to one more speech, or for those of you who may be
planning to zone out, I want to go ahead and give you my closing statement.
This way, when someone later asks what your graduation speaker said,
you will have something to tell them. Plus, even if you do not remember
anything else, this is the most important message anyway. Ready?
Distinguished Alumnus Rodney Swink Speaks at Spring Commencement.
GO FORTH AND DO GOOD DEEDS.
The next time you hear that you will know I am through and you can
politely, or, if so moved, wildly, applaud.
Now that you know how my speech will end, let me turn the pages
back and fill in some blanks.
FIRST TO THE PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS, SPOUSES, FRIENDS:
The student you are here to honor today is entering a noble and worthy
profession, broadly stated, that of design, whether architecture, landscape
architecture, industrial design, art and design, or graphic design. The significance of design through history cannot be overstated. It is evident in hundreds
of ways and perhaps not evident in even more. There are points in time when
civilization makes major shifts, such as from agriculture to industry, or from
industry to information, when creative thinkers and builders create new
paradigms, new ways of doing literally everything. Today, given the pace of
19
change that we find ourselves dealing with, both locally and globally, we find
ourselves at just such a time, and we know that competent, talented, forwardlooking, innovative designers are critically needed, perhaps more than ever.
Richard Florida, a former Carnegie Mellon professor, has written a very
popular book, The Rise of the Creative Class, stating that the cities of the
future will be built around people who are creative, innovative, open to ideas,
tolerant, and diverse, among other traits. And he goes on to say that cities
that attract these people will thrive.
That may come as a relief to you who are wondering if there is gainful
employment in your son’s or daughter’s future. I believe there is. And you
can take great pride that you have supported the educational efforts that have
positioned them to take advantage of this great opportunity. For many of
you this was not easy; it was in fact probably a big sacrifice. Please know that
what you did was a great thing and something that we all appreciate. It was a
very good deed.
STUDENTS:
Welcome to the professional world! The design community needs you.
We need your energy – and you will regain it – your passion, enthusiasm, ideas,
and new ways of seeing. We need you because our nation needs designers;
for that matter, the world needs designers. Globalization and telecommunications have effectively shrunk the world, and with the pace of population
growth, every developed and developing nation needs design talent.
But before your parents faint over the thought that you might end
up overseas, I will also say that more than ever, we need you right here.
Our communities need you. I know this because I work with cities and
towns throughout N.C. and my travels have taken me all over the country.
And whether it is a small town or a big city, they would all benefit from
someone helping them to expand their vision of what is possible. Cities
need people like you to help them see beyond their boundaries, to see
bigger possibilities, dream bigger dreams. There is much to do and not
enough of us to do it. Helping communities would be a good deed.
But even as we see opportunities in every corner, the fact is that there
are many who do not recognize who we are or what we might offer in
a time of rapid change. They are not, in our lingo, design literate. That
means that for each of us, one of our lifelong jobs will be education. We
have all heard about the need for lifelong learning, and in a business like
20
ours, that is so very true. What I am talking about though is not just your
own continuing education, but also the active education of others. We must
all be design advocates and educators, helping people see the value added,
not to better sell our products, but to help people lead better lives. That
would be a good deed.
A couple of years ago we lost one of the great landscape architects of
our times, Robert Marvin. Robert was quick to point out to any audience
that in his belief, human beings were influenced by two things: genetics
and environment. Setting aside the latest cloning issues, he would say
that there is not much we can do about genetics. Those cards are dealt.
Which then elevates the importance of environment. Knowing that, Robert
Marvin believed that we should do all that we can to insure that people get
the best environment possible to help them grow to their fullest potential.
That was his admonition to all of us in the design profession and
one that I offer to you today. There may be no better reason for us to do
what we do than that. If we want people to grow physically, emotionally,
intellectually, and spiritually to their fullest potential, then we must help
them to reconnect with each other, to reconnect to the earth; we must
provide them with the best environment possible. That is what we should
be about. And that would be a good deed.
William James was right when he said, “The greatest discovery of my
generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes
of mind.” If we can help others see their potential, see beyond their boundaries all the myriad possibilities that await them, then we can help alter
their minds and ultimately their lives. I will revisit this idea. But first…
Let me tell you a story about a group at Niagara Falls. A guy steps
in front of the group and says, “Do you believe that I can string a wire
and walk across the falls?” No one believes, but he does it. He returns
to generous applause. Then he asks, “Do you believe that I can push a
wheelbarrow across the wire?” No one does; but he does it, returning to
loud applause and whistling. Next he asks, “Do you believe that I can put a
200 lb. sack in the wheelbarrow and push it across?” Now they all do and
indeed he does it, receiving a thunderous ovation. He finally asks, “Are any
of you willing to get in the wheelbarrow and let me push you across?” At
that point, the crowd disperses.
The fact is that for many, belief ends when we have to get personally
involved.
Will that be your legacy? I suspect not and I do so for two reasons.
First, to get into the College of Design, you had to demonstrate a high level
of energy, ideas and excitement about the future. Hopefully while here, we
were able to build upon your base and add new layers of each. High-energy
people committed to creative thinking are not inclined to do so only for
their personal gratification. They want to interact with others. They want
to be personally involved.
Second, as a product of NC State University, one of the great land
grant institutions in the nation, you are a product of a place that has a
mission to be involved in people’s lives in meaningful ways. You are now
an agent of NCSU and as such you have a personal responsibility to help
carry out our university mission. You really have no choice but to be
personally involved. To not do so would be unacceptable; to do so would
be a good deed.
How can you do this? I say that wherever you are get involved in the life
of your community. People may not understand design and what we can do
so the best way to educate is to work with people shoulder to shoulder
helping them to address issues of importance to them. Get on the planning
board, appearance commission, neighborhood association, school authority,
church board, city council, Habitat for Humanity organization. The opportunities are limitless and the need is huge. The point is that by working
with people you will be demonstrating exactly what designers can do, and
educating them to the value we bring to community issues.
But more important even than educating others about your profession,
you will be contributing to the improvement of your community. You will
be giving a gift that has real value and meaning, and it will be good for
you. So get involved. It would be a good deed.
In that same vein, get involved in your professional society, too.
Professional organizations are only as strong as the members they serve
and represent. There are always professional development needs that could
use support and it is a great way to build knowledge, skills, networks and
life-long friendships.
And let me be among the first to also suggest that you support your
university and the College of Design. That would be a good deed. Think
about all that you received from the College, and how many people
contributed to your education, whether through direct teaching, gifts to
the programs, summer jobs, as adjunct professors. There are many ways
that you can support your alma mater and I hope that you will do so. We
will take pride in your success and feel a part of it; in turn, remember that
our success will be yours to celebrate as well, so help us to be successful.
FACULTY AND STAFF:
Finally, I do not want to overlook the third leg of this stool, the faculty
and staff. Education is a difficult, expensive yet invaluable undertaking
that is best done as a partnership among the students, parents and
university. I trust that has been the case here.
I know the high regard with which this College is held across the nation.
Parents, your sons and daughters were fortunate to attend this institution
and work with some of the brightest minds in the design profession. They
will join the ranks of talented alumni who continue to bring recognition to
this College. For that credit must be given to the faculty and staff who do
so much to prepare them for what is ahead. Every year they take on a new
group of young adults and work diligently to prepare them for professional
life and productive careers. To borrow a phrase, they take un-molded clay
and help to turn it and shape it into something of value and even beauty.
Every day the faculty and administration do good deeds.
WHAT IS AHEAD
So what’s next? For some of you, post-graduate studies, for many,
jobs await. For others, perhaps travel is around the corner. Ultimately all
of you will be in a different place doing new things. Hopefully satisfying,
rewarding things. Wherever you end up I want you to remember that
each day you have the opportunity to be a positive influence on the world,
starting with those around you.
I am convinced that we all have a gift to give. It may manifest itself in
different ways for each of us, but it is there. As designers, we have a unique set
of skills and talent that few can claim. Use your gift wisely and well. And at the
end of the day, you will know that what you did made a difference. It mattered.
Robert Louis Stephenson said, “Don’t judge each day by the harvest you
reap but by the seeds that you plant.” When you do good deeds, remember
that you are actually planting seeds that if tended will come back to bear
fruit for all to enjoy.
Knowing that I leave you with this final thought:
Go forth and do good deeds.

STUDENTS
Graphic Design Student Lends a Hand to the
Fight Against Internet Predators
Computer Gaming Studio
a Collaborative Effort
State officials hope a new resource guide designed
by Caroline Okun (senior, graphic design), in
conjunction with the N.C. Department of Justice
(NCDOJ), will give parents the knowledge and
resources they need to protect their children from
the dangers that lurk on the World Wide Web.
As part of a class project, 15 students from
NC State assistant professor Tony Brock’s graphic
design studio submitted proposals to the NCDOJ
for the “Internet Safety: What You Don’t Know Can
Hurt Your Child,” brochure. The NCDOJ selected
Okun’s design to print and distribute to parents
across the state with an accompanying video and
other resources.
“We were pleased to have the NC State College
of Design work on this important project that will
help children surf the Internet safely,” said N.C.
Attorney General Roy Cooper. “Thanks to great
design work by NC State students, we were able to
put together an Internet safety resource guide for
parents that is both informative
and eye-catching.”
The Computer Game
Development Showcase, the
semester-ending presentation of student projects
in the combined courses
covering computer game
development taught by
Michael Young, Computer
Science, and Tim Buie,

in May in the Kamphoefner
Hall auditorium.
Projects highlighted during the showcase were
the result of semester-long collaborative efforts
between teams formed from students in Computer
Science’s course on Computer Game Design and
Development and Industrial Design’s 3-D Realtime
Modeling and Animation Studio. Each team presented
a completed 3-D game with custom artwork, 3-D
models, game play, character artificial intelligence
Above two and bottom left by Alfie Feliciano
(AI) and interface design developed by the team

members.
The event began with a series of presentations by the project
teams introducing their games. Following the presentations,
all games were accessible at
PCs set up in the auditorium,
providing attendees the opportunity to play the games and
talk with the developer to learn
more about the art and science
that went into their construction. The event was open to the
public. Both the Independent
Weekly and The News & Observer
covered the gaming studio.

THANK YOU
US Ambassador to Ghana visits College of
Design’s Art + Design Study Abroad
Mary Carlin Yates, United States Ambassador to
Ghana, made an impromptu visit to the NC State
University Art + Design Study Abroad Program
at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and
Technology (KNUST) today. “I’m very impressed
with the talent in this room” commented
Ambassador Yates in her parting remarks.
The Art + Design Program was directed
by Charles Joyner and Kofi Boone. The College
of Design program combines studio activities
with travel to field-study sites to investigate
Ghana’s traditional arts and culture. Since
1997, more than 100 faculty and students from
NC State and other universities have come to
Ghana to learn from first-hand contact with
artists, design scholars and crafts people. The
program immerses students in a unique context,
consistently resulting in increased design
sensitivity and multicultural awareness.
Ambassador Yates was on KNUST campus
for meetings, and spent more than an hour
talking with students about their projects and
experiences in Ghana. “She seemed genuinely
interested in our work and all of the places we
have visited.” said Amy Kiser, an Art + Design
rising senior. “I was surprised that she spent
that length of time in our studio.”
