From editing videos on his phone in fifth grade to producing content on the Blue Turf!

Kirby Milam found a way to combine his passions for storytelling and sports — and build a career around them.

Now a Digital Innovation + Design student and creative video producer for Boise State Football, Kirby applies what he’s learning in class directly to game day — from motion graphics techniques to sharper storytelling in his edits.

From a class project to a campus tradition! 👟

Boise State track & field student-athlete Julia Kiesler brought back her annual shoe drive — and this year it grew even bigger. With new campus partners and a team of volunteers, the drive collected 200+ pairs of athletic shoes for local youth organizations, including Freedom Youth Foundation and the Ada County Juvenile Detention Center.

Yesterday, the CI+D team spent the morning at the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights exploring Dimensions in Testimony™, an interactive AI experience created by the USC Shoah Foundation.

Using a 116-camera rig, 3D imaging, and advanced natural language processing, this exhibit allows visitors to ask Holocaust survivors questions and receive real-time responses—preserving their stories long after they are gone.

Experiences like this remind us that innovation is most meaningful when it preserves human stories, supports understanding, and helps educate future generations.

Boise State UX students → real impact for Idaho!

Hope Kiefner and Noah Woodring aren’t just in a UX apprenticeship with the Idaho Office of Information Technology Services — they’re helping design it from the ground up.

From redesigning application forms to improving the integration of another government agency, they’re turning UX skills from the classroom into systems that serve people better.

“Instead of the default answer being ‘no,’ it’s ‘yes, and…’ or ‘let’s try it.’”

That’s the mindset at CI+D — where ideas turn into action. 💡
