2013 I worked as a research and development intern at Shwood Ltd. During my internship I headed the project to develop the Shwood team concept of using a stone veneer on the current eyewear architecture.
Shwood designs and produces wooden
eyewear
inhouse
in
Beaverton, OR. My project entailed integrating the new material into the current production process as well as developing the application of new details, such as the addition of the pewter cap.

My design strategy was to develop the product around the nostalgic nature of Bruno. The resulting product, DOMAIN, is revitalizing the hot water bottle. DOMAIN is a verstatile personal heating device for a versatile life. Individual heating components brought together in a comforting leather and felt sleeve allow flexibility in use and application. It offers maximum personal comfort, allowing control over your immediate environment in the bedroom at home, or while travelling. Where ever you are, you have control over your domain.

As part of my Material and Product Studies Degree, I took the first term of the Product Design BFA studio. The project was to design for a specific assigned user. My user was Bruno, an architectural photographer who travelled frequently and lived in Berlin.

Bruno is a user who frequently needs to adress minor aches and pains from a busy life. This product gives him the flexibility to have one object alleviate neck and back aches as well as occasional muscle soreness. It can also be used more casually as a personal heating device at the foot of the bed, as you would traditionally use a hot water bottle. Domain establishes roots in the nostalgic use of hot water bottles. It brings that concept into the modern era with electric heating components in a flexible configuration. This allows the product to provide personal warmth and increases the versatility and portability of a hot water bottle.

G I L L S T R ATA I D E AT I O N S K E T C H I N G Design Objective: To design a completely eco-friendly chair based on the inspiration of layers in nature using minimal materials each component, integrating efficient machining processes. Gillstrata was designed with verstility, longevity, and the environment as key components. The leg profiles and frame of the chair serve as the constant. A compilation of seat profiles makes up the seating element of the chair which fit onto frame. This design allows purity of materials and limits production waste and excess. The profiles of the seat vary slightly to contour to the user’s body for comfort. The layers in this design are cut out of a compressed paper board which is made from recylced papers.

The chair frame was designed to be pieced together after cutting them with the CNC router. This allowed the most efficient use of materials and minimum waste. The seat profiles were intended to be able to be produced out of a variety of materials. The initial intent was for the layers to be made out of felt, but I found that Homasote provided an interesting substitute. The
compressed
paper
board
provided enough rigid structure for the seat, while giving a soft edge aesthetic. Addtional materials that could be used for the seat profiles are
compressed
cardboard,
straw,
industrial
felt,
cork, and
compressed paper boards.

Rain water is collected in a cistern, which is used to circulate hot water through the residential tower. It distributes heat and then is brought back to the cistern. Overflow from that point is used to supplement the courtyard water feature and continues to be infiltrated back into the Willamette River.

STUDIO
ACADEMIC INSTITUTE Summer term of 2010 I took advantage of the opportunity to study abroad for 8 weeks in Rome, Italy. The studio project was a combination of retrofitting a cloister to house scholars, as well as design a new building to house the larger group facilities. The goal of this project was to respect the existing context, while creating new spaces and experiences. This was achieved through various connections throughout the site and program. The interactions between old and new, outdoor and indoor, public and private, and between the built and natural all work toward communication and a successful academic environment.

This project was a partnership with Dustin Locke. All drawings shown are authored by myself.
