Timepiece Design

For this design I was inspired by liquid timers and how liquid can flow through a tube, showing time.
Looking at existing liquid timers, they are all desktop products, and mostly all the same shape. So my goal was to not only change the shape to give it a interesting flowing look, but to make it so it can be hung on the wall, as if it were an actual timepiece clock.
My final design was designed for someone who isn't concerned with the seconds of time, only the expression of it. Time is relative to them. Someone who also likes decor for their homes.




Guitar Design

This project was based on how the inspiration from the brand and research drove the form.
The wood materials were picked because you normally never see electric guitars made out of wood. This gives it an acoustic feel.




Black and Decker- Paint Sprayer Project


This was a sponsored group project for Black and Decker/ Porter Cable.
Through ideations, group collaboration, mock-up models, and model building, we all came up with a design for a specific tradesman.








Shoe Design


This was another one week project where I designed a shoe that was inspired by the "Fashion runway" idea and how these models can wear heals for a long period of time.
I wanted to design a shoe that could be comfortable as if you were wearing a "tennis shoe" or even "walking barefoot", yet still make it fashionable.

Jacket Design


This was another one week project I did that involved ideation sketches and ideas to create a jacket.
My goal here was to design a lightweight, fashionable jacket that can be worn for its purpose, and yet still be comfortable.

Faucet Design



These were quick ideas for faucets that were done within a week.
My goal here was to use my inspiration and drive that into a new innovative design.

Toy Chest







This is the start of one of the projects I did. The inspiration came for the "make believe" and "dress- up" ages of young girls.
My intention was to take the whole idea of the "Toy Chest" and create a new exciting way for the child to not only interact with it, but be able to use the chest as the grow.
Throughout sketches, refinements, orthographic drawings, and model making I designed a chest that has endless possibilities of combinations, and installs creativity and imagination for the child.
