Currently Yale is back on the University of Cincinnati working to complete his junior year. In Spring 2026 he will graduate with a degree in computer science and a certificate in design thinking and innovation. While in class Yale works part time at the University Honors Program as a Designer & Media student assistant.

This semester the Next Innovation Scholars began their first project with Proctor & Gamble! Although the details are under wraps, Yale has enjoyed contributing to an incredible team as a visual designer and design researcher. In April, the team was awarded the Neil Armstrong Corporate Innovation Award for their work.

The NEXT Innovation Scholars at the University of Cincinnati are one of the only programs in the nation doing strategic foresight work at the undergraduate level and certainly the only one that publishes an annual report. This year Yale is one designing that report.
