Collaborative design for the win in creating inclusive products
For 5 years, Tekna has partnered with Michigan Design Council’s Design Prize in collaboration with K-12 students, tackling a design challenge that combats societal issues linked to Michigan and beyond.
The need for speed
From a young age, engineer Mike Gruizinga has been fascinated with speed and racing. What began as a keen interest in motocross, quickly developed into a love of racing cars.
Global Innovation Awards
We are excited to celebrate the accomplishments of our very own Eve Berndt at the Global Innovation Awards!
New year, new look, new website
It’s hard to believe it’s been four years since we launched our rebrand and new website.
Being the first supply chain intern
When it came time to look for a summer internship, I really wanted to find something that would help me explore the various aspects of supply chain management.
A holistic approach
I think it’s a big part of what drew me to industrial design—I love the discussion around what makes a well-designed product. I love the questioning. But more so, I love following the process from idea to visualization to fruition.
Operation birdhouse – summer 2019
During the first few weeks of our internship, we heard talk of an intern project and a running joke about how the birdhouse is coming along.
Not your average graphic design internship
Before I had even heard of Tekna, the last month of my semester was spent researching and applying for internships at graphic design studios.
Michigan Design Prize 2019
For the 3rd year, we collaborated with students to create a concept at the 2019 Michigan Design Prize. Every year, K-12 and collegiate level students are tasked with designing a product based on larger societal issues and with a Michigan focus.
We can do it!
Tekna participated in the 6th Annual Corporate Engineering Challenge at the Air Zoo this past weekend, and it was a huge success!
