Justin Vuu

Aspiring Packaging Engineer

As a Senior at San Jose State University, I am studying Packaging, a discipline of engineering, graphic design, project management, advertising, and materials science. Currently, I am seeking full time employment in Packaging Engineering and Program Management.In my experiences working in retail, I have seen many products unable to withstand an accidental drop, causing it to go to waste. Not only does the product not get used, but it is thrown away in our already overpopulated landfills. Therefore, I am determined to make advances in packaging technologies that are not only convenient to the consumers but also cater to helping the environment.Click the icons to learn more about me
