Renegade Poultry BRANDING A POULTRY FARM I worked with an Albuquerque based poultry farm, dedicated to local - sustainable - economic growth in the community. They sell their products at the local Coop and farmer’s markets. I gave them a logo for their shrinkwrapped poultry, egg cartons, and various other paper goods. They also have a few branches of this company; rent-a-coop and butcher block.
This is Renegade Poultry’s Rent-A-Coop. I wanted to keep a similar logo, to not confuse the consumer of the connection. I did not design the coop itself, but I designed the logo as well as the brand for the side of the coop.

Pouf AN AIRATING FRUIT BOWL This project was created from a stainability standpoint. We wanted to embody the words simple and honest taking into consideration the materials, processes, and the affect they have on the environment and the user. Alex Neilson - Joseph Sanchez
Helpful Tools
We used tools such as the Okala Impact assessment, stakeholder needs, ecodesign strategies and lifecycle anaylsis. These allowed us to fully assess all aspects associated with the materials, processes, distribution, instulation, and disposal and calculate the best most, sustainable options. We then performed an Okala Lifecycle Assesment on a commercial product and designed a product that was at least 10% more sustainable than it’s commercial counterpart.
Then we looked into the stakeholders needs and the principles behind EcoDesign. For a product to be successful it needs to meet the needs of four stakeholder categories, environment, user, society, client. The principles behind EcoDesign are to be environmentally benign and economically viable, while sustainable design also has to be socially equitable.
This gave us a deeper understanding of how much energy goes into all processes in creating a product from taking the material out of the ground and into the hands of the consumer.

Using the tools to guide our design. To make the product more sustainable we took the original design which was ten parts not including fasteners, and made the fruit bowl from one piece of sheet metal. To eliminate the fasteners, it is now welded. This also allowed us to only use one material, instead of the two that the previous design had. We did an Okala lifecycle assessment of an existing fruit bowl and compared it to the Pouf. The Pouf’s impact was significantly lower by 30%.
The unique design allows the fruit to be aerated, promoting airflow which ultimately enables the fruit to last longer. As the user eats more fruit the bowl’s profile slowly changes due to the flexibility of the material.
Sway A SUSTAINABLE KNIFE HOLDER This project was also created from a sustainability standpoint and used the tools from the last project to help guide our design. We wanted to embody the words simple and honest taking into consideration the materials, processes, and the affects those have on the environment and the user. Edlin Carranza - Adrian Gutierrez - Nicholas Montemayor
I joined this project after the first round of design. The team developed the concept below on the left and this is the progress we did to finalize the design. We wanted to keep the wood but eliminate the plastic hinge, so we experimented with a lattice hinge.
Redesign Once we figure out how to eliminate the plastic hinge, we had to
find a way to secure the wood and increase stability to ensure that For the hinge mechanism, holder stand upinall seven knives. Our solution re magnets thatthe holds the could shape of theand knifehold holder ll up when needed. was a wooden lattice hinge body and a base made of glass. This would keep the design light and airy while adding stability.
Laced A METAL FABRICATED CHAIR This project was created from a prototyping standpoint. I wanted to explore materials I had never worked with, learn new techniques and experiment with different machines.
I began pulling inspiration from the idea of manipulating materials in a way that pushed their limitations. I was intrigued by materials that simulate characteristics of another material.
I wanted to simulate fabric, so I began sketching flowy fabrics draped over chairs. I then explored options for materials and chose something as far away from fabric as possible.

Fabricate A NEW SEWING EXPERIENCE In 1790, the first workable sewing machine was patented by the British inventor Thomas Saint. From that time, the function of the machine has changed very little and the main functioning elements have remained the same. The same can be said about the design of the outer shell of the sewing machine, until now.
What’s the Problem? The real issues are regarding the bobbins. They run out of thread often and are difficult and time consuming to replace. Thread often gets tangled without the users knowledge, which means the piece has to be resewn and it is difficult to fix this thread build-up because it is inside the machine and there is no way to access it. The back stitch button is annoying to use because the user has to stop guiding the fabric and push a button on the machine, and the foot pedal cord constantly gets in the way.
“I want to change the position/orientation of the bobbin.”
“I wish it was easy to replace the parts in my machine.”
shell limits ability to change broken parts
“Threading and replacing the bobbin takes too much time.”
No visibility of thread backup

Who is she? The woman I am designing for is in her late 20’s early 30’s who is a costume designer. She is a workaholic and will not put her name on something that is not worthy of it. She is frequently in the costume shop using the machines, but they are older, aggressive and frustrating to use, the threads constantly snapping, the bobbins are always running out, and they seem to always be breaking. She needs a machine that.... durable easily changable

Ideation & Exploration
Vertical surface board
With the first concept I rotated the sewing surface. which allows you to have more room to set up the piece you are going to sew. When sewing you focus on the fabric before it gets sewn. You do not focus on the needle, which facilitates more room to line up your stitch. With the second mock up I wanted to give the user more room to move the fabric. I then tried to eliminate the top which constantly gets in the

way of the fabric. This concept hung on the wall, allowing for more room while also enhancing stability with a rotating surface board. The third concept combined the verticle surface board idea and experimented with a form that mimices shapes found in fabric pieces.

Full spool for the bobbin eliminates the need to thread the bobbin. This way the bobbin lasts longer and no time is wasted threading the bobbin.
Exposed interior allows for easier access to tangled thread.
How does it work? This works almost exactly like a usual sewing machine which uses a drive shaft but instead of powering gears it powers belts. Attached to the main belt is a scottish yoke which is attached to the needle shaft and powers it up and down. At the same time that the belt is moving to power the needle shaft the motor is also moving a drive shaft which moves the bobbin case under the needle.

The belt is made of Kevlar, which almost never needs to be replaced and has an extremely high strength-to-weight ratio. The benefit of the belt allows for more freedom with the form and significantly decreases the amount of parts needed.

Simple Limb Initiative AN AFFORDABLE PROSTHETIC LIMB The goal for this project was to provide an affordable and accessible option for children in Cambodia who are missing limbs. Physical, cultural, emotional, and social elements had to be anaylized to allow for the child to be self sufficient and to participate in activities of play, school, and home.

Ideation I wanted to focus on natural materials that could be aquired locally by the user. This would reduce the price and make the prosthesis more customizable. One of my main goals for the socket was to make it universal. I wanted it to be self made and adjustable because the user would be be able to have the equipment to make the socket a perfect fit, like they do at the clinics.
I experimented with resin soaked burlap and various other matierials for the socket. I ended up focusing on using a sheet of HDPE. then tried various fastening methods, from leather belts, to boot like lace up nylon. But I needed something that was quick and easy but would hold. So I decided on a lace up where you wrap the string twice around a screw or round piece.

Our group business model consist of delivering prostheses directly to the amputees with help from partner clinics throughout Cambodia. We are a mobile clinic, working with established clinics as well as local transportation to distribute to amputees in both city and rural areas in Cambodia.

Children are often bullied at school and parents of children with disabilities are disapproved of, particularly if they decide not to abandon their newborns.
Mobile Clinic
Missing Limb Epidemic Some who are unable to receive proper treatment make do by fashioning crude homemade prostheses that offer little in the way of functionality and durability. The high number of amputees without prostheses is due in part to the low level of distribution and the lack of knowledge of the help that is available to them.
How can we engage with Cambodian communities to instill child amputees with a renewed sense of optimism and independence?

Below Knee Prosthesis
Above Elbow Prosthesis Designing for children living in the most rural sectors of Cambodia meant creating limbs that were highly replaceable and customizable. The design of this limb tapped into Cambodia’s booming construction industry and utilized massed produced materials that would be highly available and easy to source. Designing for rural life meant creating parts that users could shape and replace themselves. The ability to add on low cost end terminals opened the opportunity for users to create for conditions specific to the challenges of their lifestyle needs.
Discovering that the primary reason why child amputees in Cambodia did not have a prosthetic was a distribution problem rather than a financial problem was a huge driving factor in my decision making. Instead of making the cheapest prosthesis possible, I decided that it was important to make a prosthetic that could be made to fit any child between the ages 10-14. This prosthetic would have to be easily transported to the rural regions of Cambodia and be easily modified to fit any child. This prosthetic would become a placeholder until the amputee can travel to one of the government funded prosthesis clinics and be given a custom fit prosthetic for free.

Below Knee Prosthesis
This above-elbow child prosthesis utilizes construction materials such as PVC pipe that can be easily found in Cambodia. The parts are customizable and are assembled together by the local mobile clinics to facilitate the distribution of the prostheses in the rural area where many amputees don’t have access to health care. My AE prosthesis is extremely affordable and does not require any expensive tools to build it.
The majority of the materials and assembly are DIY which allows for the prosthetic to be extrememly affordable, only $9. It also allows for the user to personalize and customize their prosthesis as they grow taller and their preferences change.

The
Modern Manta Energy Harvesting Textile The Modern Manta allows for people in the developing world the ability to own energy-harvesting textiles, giving them the freedom to have renewable power and light whenever, wherever they need.
Research Twelve million people in rural Peru do not have access to electricity. This lack of light causes a decrease in the wellbeing of the individual and their family, lack of productivity, and lack of community. I first observed this need while doing an internship in rural Peru. I had personal experience viewing this problem and the impact it has on individuals and their communities.
Initial Ideation
Peruvian
texiles
I gravitated toward using textiles for a few reasons. The main deciding factor, was because of affordability. With textiles, there is no tooling cost and they can be made locally. Textiles are an integral part of Peruvian culture. The patterns are full of color and texture. Every Peruvian woman can be found wearing a manta at some point during her day.
Modern Technology + Traditional Textiles I wanted to incorporate modern technology with traditional textiles to allow the technology to be more adaptable by those living in Peru. The Manta, is a Peruvian garment that can be worn as a shawl, wrapping over the shoulders of women. It is worn by almost all women, everyday. Aspects from the Manta can be seen in the final design as well as similar elements from their traditional dress.
Final Concept Affordability and user interaction were the main focus of this project. Because of that, I gravitated toward using textiles because they can be made locally, require no tooling cost, and they are such an interregnal part of Peruvian culture. Integrating the technology into the textile took a few rounds of prototyping as well as designing the pattern and wiring the electronics.
Energy Harvesting Textile 4 solar cells 8 LED’s 1 battery
Affordable: $16.80 Practical: Charges on or off the body Versatile: Many ways to wear it Durable: Easy to clean Renewable Energy
This energy harvesting textile needs 6 hours to fully charge the battery. The battery then powers 4 LED’s for 8 hours or all 8 LED’s for 4 hours before it needs to be charged again. It is only $16.80 or 40 Peruvian Nuevo Sole which is somewhat affordable but gives reliable renewable light unlike the alternative, kerosene lanterns, candles or battery operated flashlights which are are insufficient, hazardous, and unhealthy. The battery can withstand 10,000 charge/discharge cycles which under normal conditions is 30 years.

Drake CHILDREN’S FLATPACK FURNITURE For this project I had to create a piece of children’s furniture using a 2.5 by 5 foot piece of plywood. This furniture must be able to be flat packed, easily dissembled and reassembled. My goal was to create a piece that was interactive to engage and excite the child.
What’s the Problem?
When I began doing research I constantly encountered images of children with their toys scattered across the floor. Because of this, I wanted to create a piece of furniture that encourages children to pick up their toys. So I decided to create a rocking ‘horse’ that doubles as a toy bin. Designing this product, I had to keep in mind the correct dimensions and anthropemetrics of children as well as a flat pack design that fits in the 2.5’ x 5’ piece of plywood.
whimsical, playful, & interactive I wanted the piece of furniture to be whimsical, playful, and interactive. I also wanted to help teach the child to put their toys away when they are finished playing. They have to “feed� the toy bin and all the toys go in the belly. I experimented with rocking chairs and horses, modular desks and book shelves until deciding on a classic toy with a modern twist.; a rocking horse in the form of a dragon.
The dragon had to be cut out of a sheet 2.5� by 5� wood. The pieces had to be strategically placed to save and make the most of the wood available.
