Meet Brooke. She is a 52 year old CEO with Type II Diabetes.
In addition to staying on top of her health, she wants to always keep in touch with her family, even though she travels 40% of her work week. Each B-Series product balances routine and luxury to elevate Brooke’s health, family, and travel experience.

Uplift Vanity
A central workstation that presents her with everything she needs, while also keeping her space clean and her items out of sight.
Uplift Box
Personal and common item storage, hidden and safe yet quickly accessed when she needs them.
Glass Organizers
The push-to-lift mechanism and integration into the cabinet allow Brooke to access her items in from inside and outside of the Uplift Vanity.
Made from cast satin glass, these organizers prevent having to sift through layers of common products, and present them and their value more gracefully.

FIDGET We sit for many hours each day, with little to no thought on the impact it has over time. Through research and analysis, create a stool that solves an identified problem. The stool must be made at full scale using wood joinery.

Prototyping
I created many 3D-printed bushing molds and test setups to get the bushing system working properly. I setup and used a CNC machine for multiple parts, and experimented with many paracord looping configurations.
FIDGET This stool concept aims to keep people moving, feeding off of the natural tendency to fidget. The ability to constantly tilt allows the user to be proactive in constant, subtle daily exercise.
Developed backpacks and branding elements for an international Chinese brand. I identified market trends, features and conducted product and brand research. I then completed designs and techpacks for review and sampling, and revisions for further development towards production.
Target Consumers
Business frequent flyers
Young college students
Concept Ideation
Design details pulled from my research, such as hidden pockets, blocks of color, and new methods of opening the bags.

SPRINT 2016 Leading a group of multi-level students in a collaborative project between the ID department at PhilaU and SDI Technologies, to design a brand and product line for a rising audio division.
Concept Proposal • •
Inspired by the Danish-Modern movement Classical furniture craftsmanship coupled with careful research into materials
•
Allows the consumer to showcase their love for music and authenticity no matter where life takes them
We created moodboards and market research boards as we refined our brand aesthetic and market.

TANDEM CONFERENCE 2016 Organization + Treasury + Graphics Tandem is a conference that helps students go beyond the sketchbook and into the world of professional design. Our main goal is to depict the life of a designer and show how product development is a collaborative process between many fields. The conference itself is broken into multiple workshops featuring professionals from different disciplines to shed light on their processes.

Midwives safe millions of lives every year, but the way they currently carry and organize their items makes it difficult. Our team set out to design a more organized, simpler and modular bag system while being cost effective for midwives in a rural environment.
Research Worldwide, approximately
287,000 women die every year

due to pregnancy and childbirth related complications.
98% of which occur in developing areas and countries.

Many midwives use multiple average recreational backpacks to hold everything they need.
clinical By looking into not only midwifery bags, but also quality recreational backpacks, we were able to identify a market opportunity.
A wide range of tools and devices are needed, no matter the time or place.
Current solutions are expensive, bulky, and slow to access necessary items.
sanitary
quick to use
healthcare-centered
Development
Making adjustments and revisions at the factory sample room.
photo of first sample in development Learning about the necessary tools and items that midwives carry. Testing out the hidden compact raincover.
The first prototype going through the factory production line.
A full-facing zipper separates the front bag from the main storage bag.
Multiple methods of organizing items within the bags.
Developing the applique and pullers.
Final Product The world’s first emphatically designed, hyper-organized, portable healthcare delivery system for providers.
Two backpacks in one – only carry the items you need when you need them in the detachable front backpack.
Optional solar panel clips to front for charging necessary database devices.
18V removable solar panel power station for electronic device charging.
Easy-to-clean materials with antimicrobial protection.
