Maxim World is a design company where I have worked at as an intern. In this section you will see what were my responsibilities and what I learned during my time there.
My thesis project, focused on improving the effectiveness of medical treatment for patients with flat feet, by designing a therapeutic exercise device that connects the patients with their doctor.
Designing a bicycle that will improve practicality, comfort, security and performance for bike commuters living in urban or countryside areas.
Electric tricycle designed to help solve transportation problems of goods and needed individuals in deserted areas along African non-urban areas.
A shopping trolley, inspired from my own personal need. Designed for commuter cyclists that purchase their groceries on the way home.
Academic project focused in re-designing a game controller to provide players with a new/ different experience and improve sales.

Trays: Natural and dark oak wood with glass details.
Effectively communicating with clients to understand and capture their product needs and ideas. Designing room and bathroom sets or independent articles. Creating manufacturing detail drawings for their producers. Organizing and collecting company data in order to standardize products measurements. Contributing in the promoting and advertising of the company by: Taking photos of new products, designing newsletters to promote new products and offers to client, developing portfolios and presentations for hotels.

Champagne Ice Bucket Holder
Bathroom Set We design the products after researching the hotel room or bathroom. This bathroom had a large metal mirror with some metal furniture and dark brown wood. For these reasons I decided to apply the material you see on the following image. (In client presentation format)
This project was a unique item made for a hotel in Dubai (which name cannot be disclosed). The objective was to create a metal structure that will hold six bottles of champagne. The client was requiring it to look natural. Knowing that the structure will be placed on a small table we establish the idea of the height needed. Then after brainstorming I came up with a metal tree with soft curves and six branches.
What have I learned from my experience at maxim world?
Buffet bowls: Natural and black ash wood.
Being part of a team has been a great experience. I discovered that by collaborating with each other and keeping a good work environment one could obtain better results consistently.
Teachings and advices of experienced professionals around me allowed me to learn about generating design concepts and applying design-thinking strategies. This experience allowed me to improve my computer skills in design programs such as Rhino, Solidworks, Keyshot, Photoshop and Indesign.
I understood the importance of having good communication with our clients and within our team and experienced how lack of communication can often cause problems within a company.
I´ve also learned about manufacturing processes and cost management. It gave me a better understanding of materials and their manufacturing process as well as their impact in costs. It taught me how to apply the most appropriate materials depending on the circumstances and how to take advantage of the manufacturers strengths.
I’ve realized the importance of asking questions and inviting other people to talk openly to me. Suggestions and positive criticism are both key factors to promote self-improvement.

FEETback PRESENTING AN INGENIOUS IMPROVEMENT ON THE TREATMENT OF FLAT FEET.
FEETback
One-in-five people have flat feet, which prevents them from performing certain physical activities and other daily routines. It causes the arches to collapse, misaligning the ankle, knees and hips join; affecting all the body. Physical therapy exercises are the essential component for any flat feet treatment. Yet, a variety of reasons such as lack of motivation or forgetting, stops them from performing the exercises required for successful treatment. This project identifies the need for a device specifically made for podiatrists and physiotherapists to encourage patients with flat feet to undertake therapeutic exercises.

Prototyping
Express ideas into a visual representation helped to understand better the core concept of each idea, discard ideas or find hidden potential in them. A very useful method to explain what I was thinking to my supervisors and teachers.

This device will incorporate a rotating platform on one side (to practice the inversion & eversion movements). The user will be able to adjust the resistance of the platform. Underneath the platform there will be a roller, in order to massage the plantar fascia. You will be able to separate the platform and to click it back to the base afterwards. On the other side (flipping the device 180 degrees) there will be a silicone base with pressure sensors to practice the toe curling and the coin exercise. By placing one foot and pushing your body upwards and forward, you can perform the calf stretching exercise.
FEETback App The FEETback device works along a smart phone app. Providing patients an easy way of accessing their daily routine, see their progress and being in contact with their physiotherapist/doctors. They will be able to track their patients activities and modify each routine according to patient progress. This way, the specialist can be better prepared for their next appointment.
Motivation and data for patients.
Feedback to medical specialits.

ZIGO A TRICYCLE DESIGN FOR HELPING SMALL VILLAGES AROUND AFRICA.
Designed to be use along the African territory, the ZIGO tricycle purpose is to help connect small villages with cities located up to 25 km apart. Roads between these villages and nearby cities are often in bad conditions and their populations have common issues such as obtaining potable water, food or medical attention. This bike can also be use in natural disaster zones to provide supplies and transporting wounded. It has been designed to ride through rocky and sandy surfaces and can carry up to 3 barrels containing 55 gallons of water each, or its equivalent in food supplies. It can also transport a stretcher to move a patient in case of an emergency.

Pannier Trolley ENHANCING THE WAY CYCLISTS PURCHASE THEIR GROCERIES.
PANNIER TROLLEY Market trolley for bicycles
Cyclists encounter difficulties such as purchasing their groceries on their way home. An everyday commuter would probably purchase pannier bags to make his life easier. But existing pannier bags are uncomfortable or simply not practical when taken into the market. The Pannier Trolley will help cyclists to move around the market or any other kind of stores carrying items without any problem. At the same time, this product will facilitate the attachment of the pannier bags plus the trolley to the bicycle rear rack. Just like any other normal pannier bag.
Cycling Commuting in Australia Many cities within australia have transport congestion problems, because of this the number of bicycle commuters has been increasing in recent years.

Game Controller PROVIDING GAMERS WITH A NEW FEELING OF THE GAME.
Game Controller
Design Proposal This design tries to give the users a new and exiting way in which they can interact with the game controller while playing videogames. In order to achieve this we have added a physical movement to the maneuverability of the arms in addition of providing greater ergonomics to the hands and fingers.

Overall Concept
Without changing the identity of the PS3 controller, I’ve made a couple of changes by adding gears in the central part of the controller and creating a circular gap between both sides and the core; now it is possible to push the centerpiece upwards and downward. As a result, the game can interpret this movement as a jump or a dodge, among others actions you may like it to make. In other words, now it’s flexible.
Size and Shape Most of the layout has remained the same. Both of the joysticks and the keyboards are on the same place with the same dimensions. What have changed are the angles and the form of both grips. Therefore, having a more ergonomic shape. The thickness of the controller will remain the same; nevertheless we decided to enlarge the length with the objective of improving the comfort of the consumers. Letting the user hold the controller closer to their bodies. Colour: The blue colour have been chosen to make the controller more attractive for a young audience and differentiate it from the pre-existing controllers on the market.
Thank you ! Gracias ! Merci !
