CS Designworks has strong ties to Pratt – Nick Chiechi, Michael Soha, Jose Ortiz and Liz Leih are all alumni. The session exposes students to the profession and workspace environment. Each staff member made a brief presentation to a group of five students and then the groups rotated so each got an idea of what each designer does.
