B-Series A collaborative effort designing a styling space for a modern luxury bathroom furnishing brand.

This project is still in development and under consideration by the client.

Meet Brooke. She is a 52 year old CEO with Type II Diabetes.

In addition to staying on top of her health, she wants to always keep in touch with her family, even though she travels 40% of her work week.

Each B-Series product balances routine and luxury to elevate Brooke’s health, family, and travel experience.

Product Profiles Mantel

A prominent display for the most important and personal aspects of Brooke’s life.

Uplift Vanity

A central workstation that presents her with everything she needs, while also keeping her space clean and her items out of sight.

Uplift Box

Personal and common item storage, hidden and safe yet quickly accessed when she needs them.

Glass Organizers

The push-to-lift mechanism and integration into the cabinet allow Brooke to access her items in from inside and outside of the Uplift Vanity.

Made from cast satin glass, these organizers prevent having to sift through layers of common products, and present them and their value more gracefully.

Updating Existing Products Adding options to current AiO and Uplift products for more functionality and experience.

Chair / Stool Slim Drawer Easily accessible storage without the pains of rummaging through cluttered spaces.

Using Robern’s existing manufacturing methods to bring furniture into their product line. Waterproof cushioned seats provide comfort while sitting at the vanity.

Travel Bag Techpack

FIDGET We sit for many hours each day, with little to no thought on the impact it has over time.

Through research and analysis, create a stool that solves an identified problem. The stool must be made at full scale using wood joinery.

“What’s wrong with sitting?”

Despite modern attempts to adjust daily seating, we still sit for many hours each day.

Prototyping

I created many 3D-printed bushing molds and test setups to get the bushing system working properly. I setup and used a CNC machine for multiple parts, and experimented with many paracord looping configurations.

FIDGET This stool concept aims to keep people moving, feeding off of the natural tendency to fidget. The ability to constantly tilt allows the user to be proactive in constant, subtle daily exercise.

Developed backpacks and branding elements for an international Chinese brand.

I identified market trends, features and conducted product and brand research.

I then completed designs and techpacks for review and sampling, and revisions for further development towards production.

Target Consumers

Business frequent flyers

Young college students

Concept Ideation

Design details pulled from my research, such as hidden pockets, blocks of color, and new methods of opening the bags.

Techpacks An overview of some of the complete technical drawings and colorways used to communicate with the client.

SPRINT 2016 Leading a group of multi-level students in a collaborative project between the ID department at PhilaU and SDI Technologies, to design a brand and product line for a rising audio division.

Concept Proposal • •

Inspired by the Danish-Modern movement Classical furniture craftsmanship coupled with careful research into materials

•

Allows the consumer to showcase their love for music and authenticity no matter where life takes them

We created moodboards and market research boards as we refined our brand aesthetic and market.

TANDEM CONFERENCE 2016 Organization + Treasury + Graphics Tandem is a conference that helps students go beyond the sketchbook and into the world of professional design. Our main goal is to depict the life of a designer and show how product development is a collaborative process between many fields. The conference itself is broken into multiple workshops featuring professionals from different disciplines to shed light on their processes.

HERA - MOBILE HEALTH PACK

Client Project - Bluekiwi Internship concept research to offshore prototyping

Midwives safe millions of lives every year, but the way they currently carry and organize their items makes it difficult.

Our team set out to design a more organized, simpler and modular bag system while being cost effective for midwives in a rural environment.

Research Worldwide, approximately

287,000 women die every year

due to pregnancy and childbirth related complications.

98% of which occur in developing areas and countries.

Many midwives use multiple average recreational backpacks to hold everything they need.

clinical By looking into not only midwifery bags, but also quality recreational backpacks, we were able to identify a market opportunity.

A wide range of tools and devices are needed, no matter the time or place.

Current solutions are expensive, bulky, and slow to access necessary items.

quick to use

healthcare-centered

Development

Making adjustments and revisions at the factory sample room.

A full-facing zipper separates the front bag from the main storage bag.

Multiple methods of organizing items within the bags.

Developing the applique and pullers.

Final Product The world’s first emphatically designed, hyper-organized, portable healthcare delivery system for providers.

Two backpacks in one – only carry the items you need when you need them in the detachable front backpack.

Optional solar panel clips to front for charging necessary database devices.

18V removable solar panel power station for electronic device charging.

Easy-to-clean materials with antimicrobial protection.
