Kathryn Maloney is a prospective industrial designer and structural engineer interested in creating food storage solutions for urban dwellers living in shared spaces. She has created a hinged container prototype with a smart sensor and linked iPhone app to map food expiration dates and prevent spoilage. Maloney is also inspired by taking everyday materials and putting them in new contexts, such as a piece made of magazine and tissue paper. She studied art conservation and saw how different materials can have both positive and negative effects when combined, like a true union of science and art.

2. Food storage solution for urban dwellers, who
live in shared spaces, to store their perishable
foods.
Hinged prototype container with a smart sensor,
linked to Iphone App, to map food expiration and
prevent food spoilage.

3. This piece is a study of how different objects and materials interact with each other. It is composed of
marker and graphite,

4. I am inspired by taking everyday materials and putting them in different contexts. This piece is
composed of magazine and tissue paper.

5. Colors, textures, and materials are not only where we expect to see them. Some are in the most obscure of
places. This picture was taken of my pool cover at my childhood home in East Greenwich, RI.

6. Art Conservation showed me the affects, both positive
and negative, of different materials in tandem. It is a
true union of science and art.

7. The ocean helped raised me. Now it’s part of who I am.
