Lula Morton

Hi there,

I’m Lula Morton, a junior industrial designer from Western Kentucky with a passion for anything with two wheels. My interest with industrial design starts with my family passion for motorcycles and personal transportation.

Growing up around motorcycle culture exposed me to machines with an elegant blend of graphic and industrial design. Highly influenced by this culture, I was naturally drawn to the idea of being able to design the same air stream vehicles that I grew up with. In high school I was introduced to the transportation modeling challenge with the Technology Student Association (TSA) and I was hooked.

I went on to finish in the top ten three times in the TSA transportation modeling competition and it was with that success that I knew I wanted to pursue a career in design. However, I didn’t want to limit myself to just transportation. My senior year in high school, my CAD teacher told me to look into industrial design and before graduation I had a game plan set up.

My plan was to go to Murray State University for prerequisites, transfer to Southern Illinois University Carbondale and then pursue my dream job. So that’s exactly what I did. After graduation I worked as a design apprentice at the cycling company, SRAM, designing performance bicycle parts for road and mountain bikes.

I ame always opened to new opportunities to expand on my designing skills. By exploring new projects and subject matter, I hope to bring new design innovations to the world of personal transportation and beyond.
