Hello, my name is Paulette McBroom and I grew up in Brooklyn New York,

in a very art and culture filled neighborhood called Cobble Hill.

I studied Industrial Design at the Rochester Institute of Technology, a technical

school that's predominately male. I feel I gained a balance in my design style that's both masculine and feminine.

​

As I think about how to design my next assignment of products, I like to incorporate factors of friendly usability that promotes little confusion, alluring forms, and a hint of whimsy.

​

Growing up, my father was an import expert on antiques for the federal goverment, so I was surrounded by antiques and dated furniture, which I've grown to love today. Some of my favorite things to do, in my spare time, is to find raw wood pieces of furniture and Decoupage them, and to go on urban spelunking excursions for inspiration.

​

I absolutely love kitsch products, kitchen appliances, furniture/antiques, jewerly, and fashion. I have a definite affinity towards textured fabrics/materials, amusement park rides, and glass products.

​

Now that I graduated, I would like to continue to learn, grow and apply my new design ideas.
