Hi, I’m Jake Elam, an Industrial Design student at the University of Cincinnati. I specialize in toy design, with a strong focus on sketching and developing solid 3D thinking skills. Much of my time is spent in DAAP studios (or catching up on sleep), pushing projects from concept to form. Outside of class, I embrace my nerdier side—whether that’s playing Dungeons & Dragons, building with LEGO, or finding new ways to let my creativity run wild.
