MADE FOR THE
URBAN EXPLORER
In today’s society, there is an increase in technological advancements which create a culture of continuous connection to each other and the world, yet many find themselves wanted to feel grounded and more alive so they turn to nature’s beauty and go off the grid. This is Lisa, a successful business woman who loves her busy weeks, but craves adventure and a relaxed lifestyle. She embodies the ideal consumer for the Ripple product line. She does not consider herself to be an expert hiker, but wants to escape to a more peaceful place where she feels safe yet disconnected from every day life.

Materials are durable and waterproof for the wild outdoors. Certain fabrics like cuban fiber, which are ultralight, were surpassed due to support consideration and cost of materials.
NAMING THE BRAND The name came about after looking at the brand attributes. The layered forms and simple rounds look like they cascade away from each other like a ripple. To me, the word ripple can also describe an effect, “the ripple effect”. If the hiker is hydrated, they will perform better, therefore having a better experience. The filter’s name relates to a ripple in the water, which can be caused by a pebble. Pebbles are generally smooth and slightly porous just like the filter. These two names seemed to fit perfectly with the concepts pertaining to water.

PROBLEM //
USING THE GIANT LILY AS INSPIRATION , CREATE A CONCEPTUAL PRODUCT THAT UTILIZES THE PROCESSES OF NATURE IN IT’S FUNCTIONALITY.
EXPLORING LILY 1 BEETLE
One pollen covered beetle comes at night to feed on the flowers nectar. He pollinates the flower by releasing the pollen.
2 COLORS
The Lily itself goes from a white color to pink in just two days indicating that it has been pollinated.
10 FEET
The giant leaf can grow up to 10 feet in diameter in just a couple of days.
48 HOURS
The whole cycle of pollination only takes 48 hours and the flower then dies turning into a seed at the bottom of the water.
100% SHADE
The giant leaf produces shade underneath giving animals and other life a place to hide.
204 F
The inside of the flower can heat up to 204 degrees in order to spread it’s scent and attract the beetle.
250+ POUNDS
The leafy structure can hold over 250 lbs due to the grid structure beneath it.
1000 AIR POCKETS
The tiny pockets of air make the leaf very buoyant on the water.
H O W C A N W E C R E AT E A L I G H T W I T H L I LY ’ S F U N C T I O N S ? I chose to focus on the Giant Lily pads blooming flower, large size, and protection when designing my new product.

Together, Jansen and I pulled together a collection of visuals that captured our idea bar experience.
Jansen drew up some basic ideas of the layout for the top and bottom bar.
From the sketches, I made 3D models of all the furniture and layouts. Furniture designs were based off Frontgate.
Exporting the files into Keyshot allowed lighting and material selection.
The images still didn’t look perfect, so I added accents in Photoshop.

IN CONTEXT Located in the upper portion of the stadium, these two new spaces will bring new life into an area less used or wanted. Stadium seats will be replaced with drinking rails for a cheaper ticket option. With a purchase of a ticket, each person will get access to the bar and a beer is included in the price. The rooftop bar will be directly above the lower bar with wrap around deck space to view the game and the Queen city.

Also know as the poor man’s diamond club, the lower bar will feature many large screen TVs with live video of the game. However a HUGE screen will be placed right behind the bar with the same viewing perspective as those sitting in diamond seats.

Many screens will keep you updated on the current game so you never miss a home run. Turf and live foliage will layout the space and give a new sensory experience.

Vray is an extremely powerful rendering software that I did not have available to me at the time, but I look forward to learning the program in the future.
SketchUp is not taught at DAAP, but has many benefits that Solidworks does not. Therefore, I would like to learn the software to pair with vray to create more impactful renderings.
Although I’m in Industrial design, my passion is in Interior design. On my free time, I would like to practice these new skills by mastering new programs and sketch styles.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME Would love to discuss any projects with you!
