Akebalan Etzioni B.F.A. INTERACTIVE DESIGN AND GAME DEVELOPMENT
Salutatorian Captivated by the storytelling of childhood video games Sonic the Hedgehog, Viewtiful Joe, and Pokémon, Akebalan Etzioni seized the chance to create a game of his own in middle school. Though challenging, the experimental undertaking set him on course for a future in game development. The prestige of the SCAD interactive design and game development program garnered his attention soon after middle school, and the university’s summer programs gave Etzioni a glimpse at student life and a clear path toward the future he envisioned. At SCAD, he found a hive of his own. Friends, professors, and opportunities abound in his chosen discipline. Etzioni served as a summer program assistant, student ambassador, resident assistant,
and peer student tutor to help others and to be self-sufficient as he honed his design and programming skills. His diligence and ingenuity led to a major SCADpro collaboration with Delta Air Lines, the opportunity to lead interactive design and game development seniors in the development of their studio game Awake, and the opportunity to contribute to an interactive experience for the XR stage at SCAD’s Savannah Film Studios, the largest and most comprehensive university film studio complex in the U.S. With game development and leadership expertise under his belt, Etzioni looks forward to the next chapter in his creative career.
Jabria Oliver B.F.A. INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Valedictorian Influenced early by her artistic family, Jabria Oliver leapt into her own imaginative exploration of various media, creative competitions, and artists’ camps. As a child, the world was alight with possibilities, and she envisioned a future as a scientist, fashion designer, and even a zookeeper. Still, art remained a welcomed friend, and high school brought with it a blossoming sense of purpose: she could use her inventive spirit to help others — and the SCAD industrial design program was the perfect vehicle to make those dreams happen. SCAD offered a realm of new opportunities that she latched onto with enthusiasm. As a student ambassador and a student representative, she nurtured the excitement of prospective students as she guided them through
inspired spaces. With every SCADpro Hackathon she attended, rewarding challenges helped grow her design dexterity, which led to a SCADpro project where she and a team of other remarkable students created sustainable, modular packaging for Colar, a global leader and supplier of art materials. Through SCAD SERVE, she refreshed the brand identity for a homelessness prevention organization. Buoyed by the encouragement of her peers and professors and her people-first design experience, Oliver joins 3M as its newest industrial design intern.
You Li M.F.A. INTERIOR DESIGN
Excelsus Laureate The rich materials and culture of China’s Hebei province proved fertile ground for the seeds of You Li’s dream to become an interior designer. As her early studio projects ended, she craved knowledge and growth on a global scale and a platform that allowed her to explore the complex and intricate relationship between culture and people, and the spaces they occupy. At SCAD Atlanta, Li’s newfound scholarship took root. Merging her previous design experience with the high-tech resources and expertise of SCAD interior design faculty, she earned the LEED Green Associate Credential and the Best of Sustainability award from the International Interior Design Association. Li served as a peer tutor, took part in several field internships, and developed
sustainable, future-focused concepts for major brands in SCADpro’s collaborative courses. Her dedication to sustainability in interior design also garnered an invitation to the 32nd annual Platinum Circle Award Gala in New York to receive the NEWH Clifford R. Tuttle Scholarship. Li is currently an interior designer at Gensler, a global architectural design firm with clients in more than 100 countries. At Gensler, she aims to continue celebrating cultures through sustainable, elevated environments.
