Elise Bushnell

About

I'm Elise, a multidisciplinary designer working across physical products, digital experiences, and the spaces between them.

Portrait of Elise Bushnell

Background

My background began in computer science and software engineering, where I learned how complex products are built and how closely design and implementation shape one another.

After working in engineering, I shifted toward design and began building independent products across social connection, fashion, and health. That transition led me toward physical product design, where I became increasingly interested in form, materials, fabrication, and the relationship between digital and physical experiences.

I'm currently studying Integrated Product Design at the University of Pennsylvania, where my work spans industrial design, prototyping, digital products, and fabrication.

Interests

I'm especially interested in home and lifestyle, wellness, outdoor experiences, fashion, and music—categories where utility, emotion, and identity often intersect.
