Mansour Ourasanah
Senior, University of Norte Dame

Industrial Designer
Bressler Group
I was born in Togo (West Africa) but I have calling New York City my home since 2001. I just graduated from the University of Notre Dame (Go Irish!) where I found Industrial Design. I'm currently working for Bresslergroup in Philadelphia and I am having the time of my life. I daresay I share the office with some of the brightest people I've met in my life and I'm enjoying every bit of it. I could tell you how much this award means to me, but i would like to dedicate it to everyone who helped me through the tough times. I would to thank my parents, The New York Times scholarship, my girlfriend Evita, my teachers (Ann-Marie Conrado, IDSA, Paul Down, IDSA) and last but not least Tim Adkins of IDSA. Some goals are so much easier to achieve when you know there are so many people who believe in you.
