Another 08 grad exploding on the local design scene; Kevin McElroy has been developing his steadiness, practicality, and innate talent for shaping simplicity into elegant designs on many levels since he's graduated from Pratt ID. The beauty of the Urbano Wastebasket, the second iteration of Urb Flat, his industrial crating, Medical equipment and the simply romantic "Rocket Toss", a swing on lawn darts for Regent Sports, are just a few examples of this talented designer's flexibility, curiosity, and attention to detail. Please see his website link for all the lovely details, awards, shows, associations, press, and the promise for his future designs. He is also part of the Pratt Design Incubator, where he and Sam Cochran have been working on the fantastic "solar ivy" project which has caused quite a stir in every field of art and design. Of this he noted:
"As for me, I have been freelance consulting a lot and working with the Pratt Design Incubator as well. We recently were part of a discussion panel at the World Usability Day Conference at SVA."
