luh dps Returning Returning to the basic concept of light as a source of heat, I created a lamp design inspired by the use of fire. I used the floor lamp base of an Ikea fixture to create the skeletal frame for my new fixture. The placement of the light bulbs on the frame helped guide where I intended on having the flame travel from the base to the tip. I sketched a rough sketch of the flame and drafted literal pieces based on how the flame ap- peared in pencil. I made the model out of white foam core and peared glue, The entire fixture is held by a concave groove on the un- derside of the top piece which sits on the top of the fixture pole.
$xhw}dofrdwo As the name implies, the armature piece is inspired the the Aztec As winged serpant, Quetzacotl. The design is meant to mimic the scale-ar- moured hide of the serpent body with the feathered accents of the wings on the upperarm. I divided the design into three main parts: the shoulder, upper arm, and forearm, then cut out each piece in brown card stock.
qlpdo &wxglhv Studying animals has always been something I considered to be a funda- mental site of understanding for bodies of movement and biomorphic design. The three shown in the panel are examples of recent drawings i’ve done with graphite pencils.

The objective was aimed at getting us to understand the environment in which products are made and why products have specific formal characteristics. The page I’ve shown is an analysis of a single product that changes in different environments

luvkls I grew up playing a lot of fantasy video games so I’ve always had inspiration for creating things of that genre. Taking after the airships I saw in many of them, I made a version of my own. I used the shape of a conch shell as my inspiration for the ship and made the model out of foam core. The curvilinear details are made out of construction paper.

After After doing one-point perspective studies in our senior art class, I started playing around with the concept, but with more than one point of orientation. I first made a graphite sketch, outlined it, and used Copic markers to fill in the color.
&hohqd Graffiti has always been a real interest of mine, It reminds me a lot of creating type faces and fonts which is why I drew my name. I drew a basic sketch and used a series of black-liners to trace out the letters in different weights, and then
*dwhufrorxu Watercolours are a fairly new medium for me, but i’ve really come to like them. The way the pigments blend is very forgiving and leaves a lot of room for ex- perimentation. The three following paintings are some of my favorite pieces that use a range of colour palettes.
iulhv Of Of all the practical things I assumed could use improve- ment, I chose the fry. The everyday struggle of eating ketchup-less fries when on-the-go plagues many, so I thought this could be qn elegant solution to that prob- lem. By using a few extra square inches of card stock you could potentially save thousands in thin ketchep cups.
&wrudjh er{ ghvljq Using a series of cut out foam core sheets, I made a storage box to hold some of the things I keep on my desk. I wanted to make it functional, but dynamic to juxtapose against the planar surface of my desk. I wanted the box to have as many detachable surfaces and areas of storage as possi- ble which is why the top of the lid can be used as a jewllery dish and the base is detachable.
uhvv One of my mother’s first jobs was as a seamstress and she used to teach me how to draft basic patterns. This is a basic A-line dress with six component pieces that I measured, sketched, and drafted to my mea- surements. The dress style itself was inspired by the porcelain dolls I had as a child.
hqflo dvh I have a bit of a penchant for geometrical shapes, particularily triangles which is why I used it as my base shape to design a pencil case. The case itself is made out of foam core and tacky glue. The shape is wide enough for both erasers and pencils, and is long enough to fit the length of all my pencils. The angular nature of the case makes it a great straight edge as well.
rqvwuxfwlrq dqg surgxfw vnhwfkhv These These are some of the sketches i’ve done for construction and product in- vestigations: On the right hand side is a series of perspective sketches based on chair and eye-wear design, underneath that, I have a set of two drawings based on a study of ancient arch construction, and on the left, I have a design for a “Cube Living space”. The Cube was an assignment for Professor Garvey’s Industrial Design class and was based around premise of living in a 4.5x4.5x4.5 m space and making the most of it.
!hglhydo dvwoh This was a project I did for my History class in High school, we were asked to draft a plan and contruct our own interpretation of a 10-14th century castle. I drafted the design myself and constructed the castle out of corrogated card- board. The entire structure spans a meter in length, width, and height
qg After completing my castle project, I revisted it as a final farewell. For the longest time, this was what I considered the pinnacle of my work. As part of my resolve to always work harder and always keep designing, I decided to let it go out with a bang. Thank you for taking the time to look over my portfolio, I appreciate the opportunity and look forward to studying here in the coming school year.
