ABOUT | Amelia McGovern Design

Hello!

I'm Amelia

A Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) product designer and lifelong creator. While I spend plenty of time immersed in the technical worlds of Rhino and SolidWorks, I am consistently drawn to the physical making process, with a particular focus on pattern development, color theory, and textile design.

My passion for art and invention started early. When I was a preteen, I built a fully functional slime-making machine and even applied for a patent. Around that same time, I also had the opportunity to appear as a junior interior designer on Bravo’s TV series Minor Renovations.

I have been creating ever since, and that early spark has evolved into a fascination with the behind-the-scenes magic of the creative process. Whether it involves visual research or production coordination, I thrive in the collaborative energy of campaign sets.

Beyond the studio, I have designed promotional materials for Los Angeles artists and served as a board member for a youth arts initiative. I am currently a member of the fashion design team at the Brown University Fashion Club and an active participant in the RISD Crochet Club.

I am seeking a summer internship in creative production where I can collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to blend art, invention, and a touch of play.

about me . . .

INDEPENDENT FILMS

I collaborate on independent film projects, contributing both in front of the camera as an actor and behind the scenes as a special effects makeup artist. Pictured here is the premiere of MAPS, a film in which I held a leading role and that went on to receive recognition at the San Francisco Film Festival.

THEATER

One of the many theater productions I worked on was The Earth is Flat. This is me on stage at The Other Space theater in West Hollywood. I also assist with production and create promotional materials.

OCEAN LOVER

In my free time, I enjoy sailing and scuba diving. These hobbies have fueled my deep commitment to ocean conservation and sustainable practices. Pictured here, I’m in the cold waters of Catalina Island alongside the Garibaldi fish!

CREATIVE PRACTICE

I find inspiration in the full spectrum of creative expression. This gallery highlights my work across various media by showcasing a blend of theatrical SFX and traditional fine art.
