Randall Vaughn
Mr. Vaughn is a talented designer currently working for Gray
Construction. At Gray he is the President of Architecture Engineering Group and
focus primarily on automotive work. Randall truly has a passion and a love for
design, and appreciates both old techniques and new technology. One of his
favorite pastimes is exploring neighborhoods with his wife and quizzing her on
her knowledge of design elements through architecture. He truly believes that
design is something that encapsulates every aspect of our lives, and as an
element that has allowed him to see the world clearly. Mr. Vaughn continues to
hold tightly to the traditional principles of design- that function is more
important than aesthetics. He believes when things are made well the first time
they can stand the test of time.
In the future Randall sees electric cars, digital media, and
the synchronization of various areas of design and architecture. He also
believes that 3D design will continue to progress and become a primary form of
media.
Helen Turner
When Helen describes her story one word comes to mind,
opportunity. Helen never intended on
becoming a designer but because of a certain series of event she did. She
attended college and Ohio University and received a degree in interior
architecture. After graduating she applied to many design firms and ended up
working at smaller, local company. Here she got to express herself and gain
exposure to many different facets of design. However, after working in the
field for a while Helen decided her true passion was teaching, and she moved to
Cincinnati to attend Graduate School. This decision landed her many great
opportunities included that chance to have an all expense paid trip to Pompeii
for an archeological dig. Currently, this is her 5th year teaching
design at UK, and she is very happy that this is where she ended up.
Helen places importance on both functionality and
creativity. She believes that design impacts our environment in both positive
and negative ways, and tries to find ways to give back and help out this
community. In the future she sees sustainability and an emphasis on green
design. Eco-friendly is a new motto many designers are trying to live by and it
is having great impact on society as a whole.
