Ryan Cortese

Hi everyone. I'm Ryan Cortese, a sophomore here at Indiana majoring in Business with a minor in Informatics. I am from Arlington Heights, Illinois, a northwest suburb of Chicago. In my picture, I am at a club soccer game for Indiana University Mens Club Soccer team. I am an avid athlete constantly playing pickup basketball and whatever else presents itself, and a huge fan of all Chicago teams, which makes it hard being in the land of the Colts at times. I am real excited about this class because it is a change of pace from the business classes I take. I think it will be challenging to change my frame of thinking from business to a more creative frame of mind, yet am interested to see what lies ahead. I really enjoyed the numerous examples from the first class and the idea that a simple change in a products design could have so many profound effects.
