About Me.
Welcome to my Industrial Design portfolio! I am Drew Ternovits, a young and ambitious designer originally from Chicago. I come from a family with a history in industrial design, and I am eager to carry on that legacy. Being both a student at University of Cincinnati and having co-ops, I have had the amazing opportunity to learn from some of the best in the industry. My designs are a reflection of my passion for innovation, functionality and aesthetics. I am excited to share my work with you!
