It all started with a sewing machine.
Andrea Jones was 12 and she wanted to make pillowcases, but sometimes the needle jammed and the machine would just quit. So she'd take it apart, and after a while, she'd figured out the guts of the thing. Soon, she was making bags, skirts, and shirts.
Her interest in solving mechanical mysteries and bringing ideas to life eventually led her to Lehigh’s dual degree program in mechanical engineering and product design and an internship at Air Products.
