Dawson is a Community Engagement Intern at UAS. He’s loving his time surrounded by art and design, and he's learning more about the creative community in Columbus. He also works at the Columbus nonprofit Neighborhood Design Center as a design intern. 

Since last semester, Dawson has been working on an undergraduate research thesis that focuses on helping users with ADHD and related symptoms by making real life more like an old-school fantasy video game.

He’s a huge fan of Spider-Man and The Legend of Zelda, and he’s all about old-school tech. He never gets bored in class with his friends, and he loves chatting about design. Dawson believes if you have the power to help, you have a duty to. He hopes to use design and his love for others to do just that.
