From early sketch to working prototype — I like problems that end up in your hands.
Shared refrigerators can get chaotic and disorganized. This project aims to fix that problem. Early prototypes used off-the-shelf suction cups to mount the barrier to glass shelves, but they didn't hold up over time — so I designed my own mechanical suction cups for extra grip and durability.
A smart device for office workers. I explored several desk-ornament concepts for communicating with a companion meditation app, and landed on a piezo speaker design that plays impromptu guided-meditation audio while surfacing visual data from the app.
Side chair that transforms into wall art to save space. The seat pan was originally a molded shell, but early prototypes weren't comfortable for a long sit — I switched to a felt pad, which added cushioning while keeping the low profile the design required.
Teaching the science of music to older elementary aged kids. What began as a build-your-own-instrument toy kit grew into something more — I added a pamphlet breaking down the basic science of how each instrument produces sound.
Linkages allow passive dynamic grip for transradial amputees. The palm element was originally a solid volume; after experimenting with a simpler planar profile, I found it performed the same function with less material and complexity.
During my internship with Bernardo Urbina, I iterated on several chair concepts — refining each for comfort, aesthetic, and manufacturability.
I like devising practical, but creative solutions to design problems. Working at a custom furniture shop taught me to be creative, but always design for the client first.
