"To me, design is all about relationships. You cannot do it by yourself." ππ€
Kelly Umstead, associate professor of industrial design, has been named a 2024β25 University Faculty Scholar β and for good reason. She`s known across campus as an educator who prioritizes love, attention and empathy in design.

This isnβt your typical runway show.
On April 24, @ncstategreggmuseum transforms into a living gallery where fashion meets fine art. Models become exhibits. The audience becomes part of the experience. And the theme Revive breathes new life into tradition, form and imagination.
Every piece is student-designed. Every detail tells a story. Come walk the line between innovation and expression β up close and in motion.
