Moments of Happiness at The World of Coca-Cola

A highly-branded research-driven project- see much much more here.

A collaboration with mechanical engineering students. More to come.

A self-powered device for adventurers. 3D-Printed high-resolution prototype, alongside a functional Arduino breadboard.

A strange juxtaposition of brand and application. The focus was on brand understanding- and a nice 3D render from SolidWorks.

Lean in and work hard or kick back and relax. This uniquely-constructed chair was built to the specifications of a good friend.

A polykarbonate shade held in a structural curve by a sculpted wooden base. The complex curves emerge from a single flat part.

Simple, ergonomic, and familiar. Focus on sketching, modelmaking, and research.

Furniture design emphasizing accessibility through iterative modelmaking.

Built for action- I experimented with a pistol-grip for better aim and control.

21 identical CNC'd parts. A heavy but successful experiment.

Iterative design in Illustrator and physical mockups to package a variety of Remote Audio equipment.

Iterative designs to outfit Stoody/Victor headquarters to showcase their hardfacing technology products.

A highly stylized presentation of a 1-hour timer. Fun woodwork and prototyping.

A grand repurposing, featuring a chair frame found roadside, the passenger seat of an 80's Mercedes, and a Cadillac emblem.

A problem-solving project- a device to gently pick up and place an egg from a seated (wheelchair) position.

Renders in Illustrator and SolidWorks.
