Amelia McGovern

I grew up in Los Angeles and got an early start designing as a junior interior designer on Bravo TV's Minor Renovations, which sparked a lifelong passion for shaping how spaces and products function. Long before that, I was already inventing, building my own slime-making machine as a kid and even applying for a design patent. That early obsession with experimentation grew during my time at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (LACHSA), where I worked in film, theater, visual arts, and special effects makeup.

Now, as an industrial design student at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and after designing footwear as a Color, Material, and Finish intern at NOBULL, I'm driven by material innovation, tactile problem-solving, and a love of making. Whether I'm developing soft goods, sketching athletic concepts, or exploring textiles, I aim to design functional, intentional products that tell a story.

Beyond the studio, you'll find me creating content for Brown XO Magazine, designing with the Brown University Fashion Club, or out bouldering as an active member of the RISD Rock Climbing Club. I am also scuba certified. See me below diving in Catalina, CA with the Garibaldi fish!
