Hi, I’m Pratiksha Satish, a design engineering student at Colorado School of Mines with a passion for blending design and engineering to create inclusive, functional built environments. I lead initiatives on campus, co-found a cultural student association, and contribute to hands-on projects in aerodynamics and prototyping. I enjoy turning ideas into tangible prototypes using Rhino, GIS, and CAD tools, while collaborating across disciplines to solve real-world problems. I’m excited to leverage my design mindset and leadership experience to make a positive impact in product design, urban design, and education. I’m eager to continue learning, mentoring peers, and working on cross-disciplinary teams that prioritize ethics and creativity in technology. I value curiosity, collaboration, and clear communication, and I’m motivated to apply my technical and creative skills in professional settings that reward thoughtful innovation and responsible innovation.
