ABOUT ME
My name is Cody Fuller, and I'm from Dallas, Texas. I'm currently a 4th year Industrial Design student at Auburn University, and I will be graduating in the Spring of 2025. While at Auburn, I've gained experience as a furniture design intern, worked alongside teachers as a teaching assistant, participated in many freelance projects, and learned through the studios and classes I've taken as a full-time student. Growing up as an avid fisherman and outdoorsman, some of the first categories of products that I was fascinated with were outdoor-related. That initial interest has grown into a passion for the design process and a dedication to making products that best suit peoples' needs. I'm excited to learn new skills and put the ones I've already gained to use.
