For this project we were tasked with designing an app to help college students with everyday tasks. I decided to focus on the issues of cooking home meals on campus. The problems I worked on solving were limited grocery options on campus and limited time. This project went through the steps of research, wireframes, and a final product.

For this project we were put into teams to come up with lunch boxes for specific groups. My team was assigned an adult that enjoys day hikes. We spent the most time researching and conducting interviews of people included in this category. After many mind maps and user journey maps, we came up with this design. It is small, compact, and customizable. We also made sure to keep the materials reusable and durable.

Materials -
Final product was made of resin and a metal blade. Used foam, wood, spray paint for foam model and clay and wood for clay model.
Description -
For this project I was tasked with designing a peeling utensil that kids 5 years and under can use safely in the kitchen but can also be used comfortably by adults. There were many steps behind the final including two other models (foam and clay) and many sketches. Overall I am very happy with my design and found a lot of interest in every step of the process.

Description -
For this project we had to design a watch that was fashion forward yet useful. My design included a metal clasp band with interchangeable watch faces. I wanted to create something that leaned toward more of a jewelry piece that could be worn with anything. The process leading up to the digital work was a big part of this project. I started with 50 thumbnail drawings, then narrowed it down to 25 where I made them more detailed and drew 3 different perspectives. After that I proceeded to make a poster advertising this watch and created a 3D rendering of it with all watch face options. I found this project very interesting since product design is something I would like to learn more about.

Couch Design
2022
Materials -
50 thumbnail sketches and then Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop for final.
Description -
For this project we had to design a couch and do all of the work in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Although I had worked with these before I had never fully rendered product designs like this. As you can imagine that did take a while, however the steps before moving onto my laptop took much more time. I spent a week coming up with 50 different couch designs and making thumbnails. Then, from those I chose 15 to sketch again but in 3 different perspectives until I chose my favorite to put into Adobe.
