Morgan Nguyen
BFA in Product Design, 2025
Capstone Project: Oreya
I’m passionate about making complex problems into simple solutions for humans through insights and innovation. I’m a multidisciplinary designer with a focus on industrial design, UI/UX design, and research. Design is what drives our society and keeps our world spinning. In my practice, I keep people’s needs and pains at the core of my design process. I love diversifying my project briefs and tackling new problems to learn more about people, understand the roots of pain, and address them through design and experience. I am based in Portland, Oregon. Outside of the studio, I enjoy traveling, drinking iced coffee, and playing board games with friends.
With my capstone, I wanted to explore how technology can benefit and enrich human lifestyle and routine. I started diving into the skincare industry. Through research and interviews, I identified key pain points and decided to design a device to bring skin diagnostic to a consumer level. Oreya is a handheld device with a wireless charging dock. It uses imaging and various LEDs to take scans of your skin then filters it through an app which presents the information back to the user.
