ATTACHING THE MASK STRAPS
Start with two rubber bands for one mask.
Make sure to before wearing your mask!
Cut each rubber band once so it becomes a rubber string.
Tie a knot to secure the ends of the straps.
INSTALLING A ROOMBA 700 SERIES FILTER
Lay the straps out how you will attach them. Either so one strap goes over each ear or so both straps go around the back of your head like goggles (shown here).
Loop each end of each strap through the corresponding attachment loops on your mask.
There should be two tabs on one side of the have a third tab on the opposite side, remove it.
that the tabs point in the same direction as the top of the mask.
facing the mask (yellow hatching facing mask. The tabs should slide into two grooves inside the square opening on the mask.

User Workshop Data Synthesis
Objective: Gather user feedback data from users via a design thinking workshop. Compile and sythesize the data into a format that is easy to read and understand. e data posters must be aesthetically pleasing as they will be hanging in the company work space.
Details: Photos and details of the user workshop are proprietary to the host company. e poster progression below was the rst prototype expressed in various colorways. A er getting further feedback from team members, the posters on the right were created, with the top section of the le most poster consisting of the most frequently cited data points and the summary of results and the bottom section depicting the data from a pros and cons exercise with two di erent designs. e poster on the far right exhibited all of the design sketches from the workshop, grouped by similar design elements.

Design Process Graphics
Objective: Create an illustration of the iterative design process to be used in a presentation to non Human Factors personnel
Details: e design process is depicted as a journey taken along a highway, with twists and turns, as well as a roundabout to illustrate the iterative process of producing solutions, evaluating them, and improving them. e “we are here” star highlighted to thea audience exactly at what stage of the process the team was currently undertaking.

Mountain Flow Graphic Metaphor
Objective: Create a graphic to illustrate the ow of documentation into and out of a healthcare clinic. Include the multitude of sources and actors discovered in onsite research, amd highlight the speci c burden that falls to healthcare providers.
Details: e ow of documentation is depicted as the ow of water from multiple mountain streams, making their way down the hillside, through multiple water wheels (actors), and into a reservoir. e reservoir has o shoots that help deviate the pressure of the reservoir away from the dam (healthcare provider). A er owing through either the o shoots or the dam, the processed water makes its way to any of the destinations in a waiting village. e houses in the village represent Veterans, other healthcare institutions, etc, to whom documentation is sent a er being processed in the original clinic.
VT Dorm T-Shirt + Signage Design
Objective: e Residential College at West-Ambler Johnston is a Virginia Tech residence hall where students are divided into four Houses. Each house is student run and has its own personality, traditions, and design elements. e following designs were created for Hawthorn House as hallway signage and House t-shirts.
Light Up a Workspace
Objective: Design a creative light source. is could be a lamp of some kind or any other innovative design using light or satisfying a need for lighting.
Details: Featuring three ergonomically placed LED bulbs, this glove provides added visibility to any workspace. e LED on the fore nger focuses light on an area the user points to, while the lights on the back of the hand illuminate a broader region. A power switch is conveniently placed where the thumb naturally falls against the fore nger so the entire glove can be operated with one hand. Durable, padded fabric makes the glove comfortable for hard work. A functional prototype was fabricated and tested for proof of concept and usability validation.
Off The Wall Seating
Objective: Design something that functions as a seat plus at least one other function.
Details: is chair folds completely at for easy storage. e variations in wood grain and stain create a beautiful pattern that doubles as artwork when hung on the wall. is design provides added seating for small spaces while adding to the overall aesthetic of a space. Built-in slots and grooves allow the chair to be locked into place to assure safety and stability when in the upright or at positions.
Kotinos: Olympic Currency
Objective: Create a set of currency for an organization (real or ctional). Include features such as serial numbers and anti-counterfeit measures for authenticity.
Details: is currency was inspired by the imagery and symbolism of the 2016 Olympic Games held in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Each bill celebrates a di erent sport featured in the Summer Games, and features o cial graphics of the Games as well as traditional symbolism.
Extremiti3D Logo Design
Objective: Design a logo for Extremiti3D that conveys strength and mobility, without appearing too athletic or sports focused, and stays consistent with extisting brand language (facet based, triangles, black and orange color pallette). e form should be easily associated with imagery of physical extremities or lack thereof (prosthetics and orthotics), and be balanced but not symmetrical, as Extremiti3D’s products aim to provide strength, balance, and mibility while celebrating the assymmetry of their clients’ bodies.
Details: Early prototypes explored the use of the triangular facets that make up a 3D printing le coming together to form a humanoid shape. ese forms seemed too “busy” and would not translate well to mixed media. e nal design is inspired by the X in the company name while staying true to the triangular facets and humanoid shape. e detached “limb” of the form alludes to the company’s work with prosthetics.
GMU Health Behaviors Lab
Objective: Our lab is interested in the interface and interaction between humans and technology. We focus on the integration of multiple di erent facets of attention, technology, environmental factors, individual di erences, etc, towards research that is applicable to real-world problems and projects.
Details: e logo features a human brain with a di erent design overlaid on each hemisphere. e right hemisphere depicts circuitry connecting various areas of the brain, which represents the interactions and integration of humans and technology. e le hemisphere depicts many colored facets that come together to form the image of the brain, representing the multiple factors that in uence human-technology interaction and that we investigate to more thoroughly understand the results of our research.

VT Engineering Honors Tutoring Flyer
Objective: Design a postcard size yer for the Virginia Tech Eta Kappa Nu Honors Society to advertize their tutoring program. e society caters to Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering students and has historically used brand language consistent with Virginia Tech marketing materials.
