Constraints
One 2x4 Pinewood
Can’t be Stained
No other Wood
But can be Sealed
Cannot equal to or be more than the weight of the 2x4

Objective
In a group of 3 we were to create a company with a distinct design language and design a bird bath, bird house, and bird feeder
teammates
me
bird bath
Constraints
Must be vacuum formed
Made out of a type of plastic
Share a similar design language throughout the group 15
Inspirati on
Certain birds build their nest in geometric shapes
Explored natural splashing effects and natural water ripples to inspire my bird bath
16
Research Certain birds are attracted to certain colors and shapes We focused on a certain subset of birds who were intrigued by bright colors and have similar nest building patterns
Hummingbirds
Goldfinches
Orioles
Bluebirds
Warblers
Jays
Birds Owners of bird ecosystem
Feet Grip
Ease of Access to food, water, and shelter
UVA Protected
Easy to Clean

Ideation
18
To go onto the quirky side of our teams language looked at water ripples, water droplets, and splashes
Foam has a good shading visual Clay shows the geometric shapes well

Lunula
24
Objective Lunula is an accent lighting system for your home, the objective was to create a fun and unique way to turn on a light using an on and off action by disregarding a switch and a push button
Constraints
Must be casted out of resin
Simple on and off switch
No large lighting fixtures
Play with opacity and color
Incorporate existing lighting materials
25
Explore
The Problem ?
People fall asleep with lights on
Explored different fun actions that could potentially be the way to turn on a light
Unhealthy for the mind and body When do people fall asleep? rotate
push
pull
throw
While reading Getting ready for bed
26
When they are too tired to get up
Light Concept Idea Collaborated
light
when
how long
why
Thought about what light is and what it does. When do we use it, for how long and “why?”
27
Inspiration Inspired by Natural Lights
Looked at the two natural lights: The Sun and The Moon

Wander Paper Pulp Laptop Case
41
Objective Wander is designed to protect your laptop case the objective was to make it from paper pulp exploring the best materials, shapes that can be formed from paper pulp to create the strongest rigid and make the case as functional as possible I explored aesthetics, texture, performance of the bag and compression molding
Material Constraints
Paper Pulp (Newspaper)

Ideations
44
Explored curved shapes and ridges for strongest results Also the ease of access and slim profile Elastic side bands for a more universal approach
45
Final Concept and Inspiration I wanted to take the whole concept of paper pulp being an eco-friendly material and transfer that design of earth into my case and so I took the idea of topography landscapes and used the ridges and curves to my advantage to better symbolize the purpose of the case

Rounded and Curved Edges for Durability
Usability
Land Topography for Outer Structure
Manufacturing
Female positive out of MDF
Cut off Extra Edges
Vacuum Form
Add mold release and place newspaper pulp and cotton mixtures to mold
Heat Box for 8-10 hours
Sew elastic fabric to edges
Mold is now released and repeat for second assembly
Add leather to bottom case and inner padding for cushioning
47
Tested out curves and their strength using newspaper and cotton for lightness
Got my hands on as many different materials as possible, looking at color, texture and smell
Decided on newspaper for lightness and color
Test dropped our pieces from the second floor with a ceramic plate inside
48
Routing out the topography
Made final positive Top and bottom piece contains cotton and newspaper
Sewed Fabrics for inner cushion
All made from recyclable materials

Transform
Objective To transform a vintage coffee maker and redesign an updated version of it by taking three attributes from the original coffee maker and convert those attributes into the new design for todays current trends in design
The 1939 Sunbeam Percolator Model C30A to redesign
Research the best way to drink coffee today
Take the best attributes from the percaltor
Coffee Maker
53
Designed by Italian- American, Alfonso Iannelli in 1939
Designed for the Chicago World’s Fair Futurama theme
Discovered the pour over method is the most preferred way to drink coffee 54
Futurama Theme Logo for the fair, I decided to keep the futura theme and incorporate that in my design
Research

Glide A Sponsored Project with
60
Objective Glide is an intuitve fabric swatch display system designed for Ligne Roset The objective was to eliminate their old swatch display which is difficult to see the fabrics and the ease of use for the customers and the employees In the meantime we needed to design a swatch display that could easily fit in with their store and style
This was an assigned group project
2 in the group
Constraints
Fabric swatch hangers cannot be altered or changed in anyway
Materials should correlate with Ligne Roset’s design language
Have to build around a 45 and 25 in wall in width
Can be wall-mounted or free standing 61
The Problem?
marble
Ligne Roset’s system for swatches doesn’t fall in line with their values and style
beech The swatch rack isn’t counter intuitive to customers and employees
glass oak
Not all swatches are visible when on the rack making the decision process more difficult
1860 Founded by Antoine Roset in 1860, in Montagnieu, France
metal foam
1930 In 1936, the company started manufacturing upholstered furniture
First logo design 62
Materials we searched and kept in mind for our piece
2000
2007
2011
2013
The attribute we took in mind is the slim metal base that is conformed to the shape of the Smala couch
Cemia’s rounded wood-veneered edges are an inspiration for our aesthetic
The Ploum couch’s 3 dimensional fabric and its minimal style truly capture the elegance we desire
Nubo is a wall-mounted desk that has multiple arrangements and purposes, it plays with materials and lightness in manufacturing
Inspiration Ligne Roset’s love for design is presented through their drive to stay up-to-date with new technology and materials, eco-friendly manufacturing processes, and traditional family values
Sleek curves create an elegant feel to many of their products
Playful lines bring a youthful feel to every room and attracts consumers

Ideations My teammates initial sketches

Grinded and made final touches before assembling

Proof of Concept We made a few mock-up models to test our theory and for proof of concept to accamodate for all the swatch sizes Bought 20 gauge steel sheets to test that the angles we wanted could be done by bending
1� top diameter
3/4� bottom diameter

Cyan Physical Therapy Indicator Shoe 74
Objective A work shoe designed to address the needs of the wearer and to define and what constitutes as work, it has to fix an issue in the work field Cyan is a tool for a physical therapist but it is a shoe for patients to wear during physical therapy. It’s aimed to help track walking and balance progress through the shoe on a daily to weekly basis to better asist the patient and the physical therapist
Constraints
Needs to fix a problem 75
Inspiration Field Research My main inspiration for this project was my sister, after an accident, she went through months of physical therapy learning to walk again I felt that shoes could better benefit the patients and of course the physical therapist
I went to TIRR Memorial Herman Hospital in Houston, Texas and I met with a few physical therapist and orthetists, I was able to observe patients during their therapy
76
Concept
Using light
Indicator (Force sensor Resistoor)
Pressure
Using a Force Sensor Resistor in the heel and toe area, a gradient light at the top of the shoe indicates the amount of pressure put from the time they strike their heel to pushing off with their toe
Loaded into Computer database and charts progress
