Manage your headphones in style with the worlds first magnetic headphone clips. Clippies was a small side project that I started working on at the end of graduate school and picked back up last summer. We launched a Kickstarter in October and successfully funded the project with over 1,500 pairs of Clippies sold! Below you …
I designed and built this bent plywood and black walnut chair during my final year of graduate school. Working with wood is such an elegant challenge wherein one must constantly balance aesthetics with function and form with strength. I decided on a bent plywood design because of my love for Eames; I am proud to …
Alpha is a custom designed bicycle meant to challenge the standard for commuter cycling and lead the way to new innovations within the industry of bike components. It was created for my senior design project with a team of 4 other engineers. We worked for over 2000 hours to design and fabricate Alpha. The main …
I created this wireless speaker for my second mechatronics lab. I designed the enclosure, designed and built the circuitry to drive the cone and wrote the code that accepted the wireless transmission and drove the speaker. There is a microprocessor on the top with a wireless board that receives a signal from a master computer …
I created this set of urns for my final project in design fundamentals. The concept behind the set is that two loved ones will be connected even after death. I took inspiration from ballet dancers and acrobatics. Just as in love, the two urns cannot stand without the other.
This project was an exploration in shapes and the transition between sharp geometric objects to smooth curvilinear ones. I designed two shapes in Adobe Illustrator and used the blend tool to join them over 25 sections. I then laser cut those sections out of paper and assembled them into a cedar block. I then took …
I built this luminaire during my design fundamentals course. It is an assembly of 3 stellated dodecahedrons connected via tabs and a little glue. The concept was to create paper forms without removing any paper, hence the cuts and folds but no holes. We displayed them to the public during Philly Works; they hung outside …
I took a course on fundamentals of design during my senior year in college and one of our first projects was to explore the use of the golden ratio and other geometric identities in modern design. I chose the famous Wire Chair by Charles and Ray Eames for my investigation. It yielded some fantastic results …
The third project in my advanced manufacturing class was to make use of our CNC lathe to create an original chess set. We were split up into teams of four and told to choose a general design aesthetic and then individually design pieces. My team was very pleased with the outcome of our designs. Using …
I illustrated the short story “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury in an intermediate graphic design course. There are a total of 13 spreads that I created using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign. I then printed each spread and bound them together to create the book shown. The short story is set in a future where a …
