Meet Louis Renault (B.F.A., industrial design, 2025) 🤝

After graduating from SCAD, Louis Renault co-founded BLANK Design with fellow alum Jacob Perrone. What started as a way for the two designers to keep making together after college has grown into an independent studio developing furniture, lighting, and objects with distinctive form.

Alongside BLANK, Louis has continued developing his practice across product, furniture, and transportation design, while gaining hands-on experience with digital fabrication and large-scale robotic 3D printing.

This September, Louis brought Sima, a large-format 3D printed lounge chair developed with Jacob, to London Design Festival with ISOLA Design Group.

His approach to design is driven by curiosity and a belief that functional objects can still have character. Rather than simply asking what a product solves, Louis is interested in what it makes people feel, how they interact with it, and whether it gives them a reason to look twice👏

During the Winter Quarter of 2021, Eloy Veloso met one of his most influential professors, who would often repeat, “Pare down to the essence, but don’t remove the poetry.” At the time, it was a phrase he found difficult to comprehend.

After graduating from SCAD with a B.F.A. in Industrial Design in Fall 2022, Eloy went straight to work at the US Open in New York as a Graphic Designer.
His journey at SCAD was anything but linear. While competing on the SCAD Men’s Tennis Team, Eloy moved between Film and Television, Advertising, and finally, Industrial Design. Each discipline taught him something valuable, even when he wasn’t sure how those experiences would eventually connect.
In 2023, Eloy moved to Australia and began working for Tennis Australia, continuing to find ways to apply the lessons he had learned across different fields. While he never had the opportunity to work as an Industrial Designer, the ability to identify a problem and find a solution has proven to be a priceless skill that can transfer across industries.

Since moving to Australia, Eloy has had the opportunity to work at tournaments including the Australian Open and Wimbledon, producing content for social media and websites. Working in close proximity to professional athletes has been both rewarding and inspiring, motivating him to continue improving his own craft.

As a student, Eloy worried that he wouldn’t find his niche right after college. With time and experience, he realized that perhaps finding one specific niche was never the point.

What SCAD was teaching him was how to understand the essence of a problem and solve it with poetry!🐝

THINK YOU CAN SKETCH? ✍️🔥
Stop by The Shed this Thursday at 8 PM for the ultimate showdown.

We’re kicking things off with a 30-minute demo on nailing proportions and "seeing" a drawing like a pro. Then, the clock starts. You’ll have one hour to replicate the demo and prove your technical chops.

The Stakes:
The two cleanest, most accurate sketches walk away with the win. 🏆

Whether you’re a freshman trying to find your lines or a senior looking to flex, come put your pen to the test.

THURSDAY | 8PM | THE SHED
Bring your favorite pen. Leave the shaky lines at home.

Thought I’d show a bit of my process. This part doesn’t get shown much, but it’s honestly my favorite.

3D print to reality. 80 to 220 grit sanding, Bondo, back to 180, filler primer, more sanding, UV curing filler touch ups, taped the sharper edges to get a tighter finish, 320 grit, then white primer.

Messy, repetitive, but where the form really comes to life.

You can start to see some of the swappable elements here, part of a bigger system. Can’t wait to show you the final coming soon.

Portfolio, project site, next big idea… Framer’s student plan has you covered, and it’s free.

To make it even better, Framer sent over exclusive tote bags for SCAD Savannah students. If you sign up for the student plan and send me proof of your approval, I’ll get you one while supplies last.

One student who signs up before Friday and sends proof will also be upgraded to a Framer Pro Plan.

Now’s a pretty good time to finally make that site.
