It’s time Ultimate Frisbee got its own shoe
BACKGROUNDRESEARCH
“It hurts when someone lands on my foot”
What is Ultimate Frisbee?
Endzones and a field over 100 yards long are reminiscent of a football field.
The Sport is Growing: Paid Memberships To The UPA
A pivot foot, fouls, and a need for jumping ability are what basketball brings to the table
Fluid player movement, passing and game rhythm are similar to soccer

AESTHETICDIRECTION
A shoe needs to protect its wearer from getting stomped on, much like a turtle shell.
The circular shape of a frisbee could be an interesting design element
Design Requirements youthful styling high performance gear high perceived value something unique brand ethos highly visible
according to the world global style network, brightly colored sportswear is in trend, with brands like adicolor leading the charge

clarinet reed cases don’t work, it’s time for a change
REED101
What is a reed
anatomy of a clarinet
Barrel
Lower Joint
{
{ }
The mouthpiece Interacts directly with the player. Sound is formed here. The reed rests on the mouthpiece
The cane plants that create reeds are harvested and cut
Three reeds are created per cylinder. The reeds are filed down to almost paper thin at the end
The reed structure is made of xylem cells, which contract and expand with moisture input
Upper Joint
why is a reed important
{ }
Bell
The reed sits flush on the mouthpiece face and vibrates when played
If the reed warps even slightly, it won’t be able to sit properly on the mouthpiece. This inhibits tone and response.
When the mouthpiece and reed interact properly, music can be made.

BENCHMARKING&IDEATION why do reeds warp
A poor surface storage can cause the reeds to warp while drying.
The humidity, and rate of change of humidity within the reeds can cause the xylem cells to warp.
Playing reeds too often can cause warpage.

FEATURES&BENEFITS Double sided design holds reeds on either side of the glass Memory foam strip to keep reeds in place
Dual hygrometers show humidity on either side of the case
Humidipak integration Holds over 10 reeds per side
O-ring for a perfect humidity seal
Use of glass allows for reeds to be stored on both sides.

EXPLODEDVIEW
The case’s unique construction allows for two modules that are mirrors of one another to sandwich together over the glass, creating environments that can me individually humidity controlled, so that you can keep reed that are being broken in separate from reeds that are being played regularly

laying bricks should be more comfortable
TASKANALYSIS
Additional Research Spade is too long for the handle
Potential Stress point during prolonged use.
Ability of little finger to wrap around handle.
Ulnar deviation is key.
Found a study with ten subjects, three different trowels and fifteen different motions. This is the result of the study:
Handle grip did not allow for turning of the trowel without slipping
Needing to push downward with the trowel to mix using finger muscles to grip. Fingers extend beyond handle Butt of handle digs into flesh Micro muscles for macro movements
Handle is too small for the hand, causing the fingers to wrap around the handle and become too stressed
Subjects reported less forearm fatigue with a handle angle of 19 degrees
Subjects did not prefer a circular handle profile, opting instead for a slightly oblong design Daniel Orbach | 20
SKETCHING&MODELING

SOLUTION&MODEL
Tail flare helps keep hand from slipping A more aesthetically pleasing curvature
more balanced handle to spade proportion
longer design allows the user to choke up on the handle
Taller profile engages the correct muscles
