PORTFOLIO

JOY I-LO TAIEMILY CARR UNIVERSITY

Having the experience to live in many culturally diverse countries (South Africa, Singapore, Taiwan, Los Angeles, Canada), I was exposed to design in various ways. Throughout these years and especially the years of my studies at Emily Carr University of Design, I discovered my fast adaptability to new environment and design workspaces, I’ve learned to solve design problems with a tenacious and ambitious nature. I have also developed skill sets in terms of design process, an organized behavior and the ability in acknowledging sustainable issues from a global perspective.

I aim to design products that speaks: ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY + REGIONAL RESONANCE + WORK PLACE ETHICS + UNIVERSAL APPLICATION + POTENTIAL CUSTOMIZATION

HAZALIGHT I ASSEMBLE I DOMESTIC

THE STATEMENT

To design a furniture/ a set of furniture for a standard 6m by 6m hospital room. The furniture serves as an object that would have direct contact with family & friends of the patient. The object should be sized around 20 inch by 20 inch

Client:The client of this project is Stantec, a firm that provides professional design and consulting

DESIGN OPPORTUNITY

Through thorough design research, we as a team discovered that the complaints include:

- furniture too heavy, slows down medical process- seems too clinical, should create a comfortable visual sense- have too many sharp edges

DESIGN BRIEF

To design a furniture that fits the criteria and creating a domestic feeling for the users.

It should be:

easy to assemblelight weightvisually engaging comfortable

IDEATION

PROTOTYPEEXPANDABLEThe concepts that we focus on all encompass the expandable fea-ture. We explored in many diverse mechanisms alongside with 13 prototypes.

Through user testing and many discussions, we as a team limit down to the concept circled below: a chair that is expandable and has

tapered angle on the legs, creating a visual

TURNING POINT

EXPLORATIONWe explored the selected concept with three prototypes, changing angles and measurement throughout the process. However the expandable mechanism of the third prototype did not turn out successful, the client was satisfied with the form yet not the function of it.The client thought that the scale was too small, and the mechanism was not smooth enough. as well as the fact that the prototype could not hold anyone over 45 kg.

WHEN THE SEAT IS NOT EXPANDED, THE OTHER CUSHION SERVES AS A BACKREST

LOOKING BACK2ND STAGE IDEATIONStarting from ground zero again, we chaged our direction entirely. Instead of using expandable mechanism, we as a team came up with concepts that allow adjustability; forming different compositions when two- four chairs are placed in the hospital room. We chose three concepts to prototype and realized the last prototype consist the aesthetic and ergonomic benefits for the hospital room.

HAZAThe final concept has an armrest and back rest that allows the user to rest comfortably on when having contact with the patient. For the cushioning we debated between navy blue and orange, orange was the colour we all agreed on in the end since it goes with the design brief the most, and creates a warm/ domestic atmosphere.

COLLABORATION WITH HAYLEY NOH & KATY CHEN

TO DESIGN A 40 LITRE DUFFLE BAG FOR GYM USE THAT WOULD FIT WITHIN ONE OR MORE OF BLURR'S EXISTING CATEGORIES (FOUNDATION, FLOW, TRANSIT) AND FIT NATURALLY INTO THE BLURR LINE OF PRODUCTS. THE FORTY LITRE DUFFLE BAG CAN CARRY A CONSIDERABLE WEIGHT AND HAVE THE ERGONOMICS OF LOAD CARRIAGE PUT INTO CONSIDERATION

THE CLIENT

Blurr is run by a small and hardworking group of innovative and active folks, based out of Squamish, B.C., Canada. They design products for the young minded, progressive and multi-faceted outdoor enthusiast who moves readily and frequently between a backcountry and urban environment.

Blurr aims to provide product that facilitates building recreation into busy lives by ensuring the product offers no-nonsense technical features and fabrics blended with progressive, urban styling.

THE USER

DAVID KANGSEX: MALEAGE: 24

David is an athletic ChineseCanaian nurse who hits the gym 3 times a week. He not just loves working out but also enjoys other sports such as bas-ketball & football.

DESIGN OPPORTUNITY With the experience of part-timng at Sport Chek, David has an idea of what he believes could be improved in duffle bags

Active.Gym.Life.

PRECEDENT

"Plastic material not fused well together."

"Over a short period the gym bag actually begin to fall apart from the inside."

"Bag straps are generally flimsy."

THE STUDY

Looking into how the product could ultimately be user friendly and comfortable, I researched into the ergonomics of hand grip and arm length, taking the mea-surements into the ideation level

Comfort.Ergonomic.Life cycle.

IDEATION

A wide variety of exploration Mainly influenced by the simlicity and the distinct curves in the existing products of Blurr bags and products.

SAME PATTERN AS BEFORE, SAME DIMENSIONS

CHANGED TO JUST HAVING ONE ZIPPER THAT GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN

CREATING A MORE INTERESTING CURVE TO THE PROJECT

PROTOTYPE

During the process of prototyping, I discovered a more interesting curve by pressing the two walls down.

This lead to several changes in the design, including the zipper, and eliminating the storage for shoe, as well as the mesh pocket.

Paper.Exploration.Discovery.

zipper & side pocket zipper for main opening

handles

logo

PROTOTYPE

Through the process of sewing, I discovered a new method in sewing the handles and the zipper for the side pocket. Instead of having the zippers shown , I decided to sew the zipper with the seam line, having the visual focused on the pattern instead of the zipper itself.

User testing/ validationThe testing allowed me to discover the length of the handles were too short.

COLOUR TESTING

PROTOTYPE

Blurr Duffle

Using the same method as the earlier iteration, I used the Pfaff machine for the product.

I also added lining on the inside for a smooth finishing.

midwives & hospitals & home

The current existing methods are :- Factories produce the products, midwives distribute and sell the products, afterwards the midwives would bring the birth stools to households for home birth.- Hospitals purchase from midwives who distribute the prod-ucts and reuse the product till it’s end life cycle

My approach is:- To have one household share among the community- To have the product reused throughout the 3 locations

After design research, I started off with 120 concepts, through discussion, I narrowed down to 12 concepts with sketch models (paper, clay, cardboard).

This leads to the second stage where I made a deci-sion to eliminate concepts that were not cleanable, too chunky and only serve for one purpose.

THIRD ITERATIONS

prototype: wood, foam, cardboardThe 8 concepts I delivered through sketches and full scale modeling provide me the opportuniy to test out with my pregnant ladies and midwives.

I eliminate the concepts that visially looked tooclinical, too iconic or if the function could cause infection.

IDEATION

The blue- sky ideation was taken under the format of "5 minutes per section, come up with as many ideas as possible". The categories were:kitchenbathroomshoe rackliving room


1ST STAGE PROTOTYPE

As a group, we settled on the shoe rack idea, and started prototyping with the expandable mechanism.

We decided on the form (bottom right) because of its sophistacated curves as well as its potential to stack.


2ND STAGE PROTOTYPE

With foam and mdf, we contructed a mold to vacuum form 1/2 inch plywood with vaneer


CAD RENDERING

To ensure the potential of the product, we rendered the product in CAD and joined the racks together with the designed joinery. We output the joint plastic part in 3D print to test out the usability,


black white

TURNING POINT

Through critiques and discussions, we realize that the product looks visually more appealing and less chunky without the middle piece. We also came to a solution that as a wall rack, the form looks better with just one piece.

Mounting: L-brackets for wall rack Adhesives on circle templates for shoe rack


PACKAGING

The customer would purchase the racks as a set with vinyl wrapping (instructions on the back). They could either choose to purchase the circle timplates with adhesives for shoe rack, or the L-brackets for wall rack.

Autism

Child Characteristics

Difficult to build friendship with people of own age

Not interested in showing others what he's doing or sharing his interests

Difficulties with nonverbal communications (ex. eye wink, body language and gestures)

Plays alone

Speech delay

Difficulties beginning or continuing conversations

Unusual language usage (refers himself in third person or repeat words)

Uninterested in imitation role playing games

Preoccupation with certain item or topic

Has specific routines (upset if disrupted)

Random physical movements

• ASD (autism spectrum disorder)

Manifestation of autism from highly functional to non-communicative

4 variations of autism

autistic disorder/ autism

Difference between high functioning autism and Asperger's syndrome

high functioning autism is not officially recognized as a diagnosis

Asperger's disorder/ Asperger's syndrome

typically develops in childhood without obvious cognitive or developmental delays

children diagnosed with hyperlexia (precocious ability to read and pronounce language beyond usual age capability

can be unnoticed

difficulties understanding cultural idioms (sarcasm, double entendre, innuendo) and humor requires explanation

highly enthusiastic in topics of special interest or passion, and might excel to degree of giftedness

monotone and emotionless

80% self-diagnosed and many pass as "normal" that others simply think them as eccentric, peculiar, or hermit-like

Renowned individuals who have Asperger's include Ludwig van Beethoven, Microsoft magnate Bill Gates..and more

childhood disintegrative disorder

similar to Rett's -> also have pervasive developmental disorder, and considered rare

challenges with social interaction

Heller's syndrome (alternate title)

Rett's disorder

Loss of motor control leads to speech inability

Almost exclusively impact little girls

Noticeable slow head growth and regressive motor skills when around 5months to four years old

Uncontrolled repetitive physical movements: hand rubbing --> worsen overtime

Only PDD that has an identified genetic cause

pervasive developmental disorder (PDD:NOS)Parents who don't accept diagnosis of autism use the name PDD:NOS (not otherwise specified)

encompasses all other

• impairments in social relatedness and social interaction skills

• impairments in communication, and• a restricted range of interests and stereotyped behaviors

Growing Up Issues

How to nurture independence

Finding a home for themselves

Employment

Coping with change in future

Adulthood

Adult Characteristics

Autistic children usually carry with them the same behaviour, preferences, and demands into adulthood

Bad: behaviour may be undesirable and will continue into adulthood (the need for sameness, the continuation to have tantrums and outbursts)

Good: Adults don't usually acquire new behaviour issues nor do they lose progress of controlling their behaviour

Adults who receive intensive communication therapy during childhood usually lose the stereotyped behaviour once they become young adults

communication therapy helps improve conversations more than being at an institution

Normal life span with appropriate services

Similar needs as children with autism

Different philosophy of teaching

Children: goal to change behaviour

Adult: goal to try to direct ingrained problem behaviour into more appropriate types of behaviour

Strategy example #1 if years of training does not succeed in eliminating hand flapping, he may be taught to pick up magazine and flip through the pages when he feels compelled to flap hands

Strategy example #2 if adult cannot control compulsion, he can arrange objects in his bathroom

Refocussing energy in organizing things

Training in communication; self-care, social skills, controlling impulses, following directions

Academic studies( math, science) should be replaced by functional life skills necessary for survival in adult world

"Survival Academic Skills" should include reading signs, following simple written directions, understanding time concepts, handling money, and writing one's name

"If you give a person a fish, he will eat for a day. If you teach a person to fish, he will eat for a lifetime."

Learning environment needs to provide enough care to help them feel secure and less anxious1) Supportive environment helps autistic people to become integrated into their communityHow the autistic individual react to layout, color,

shape, noise level, and smell may affect behaviour or ability to learn

Teaching

Start teaching child essential skills(domestic and self-care skills at home)

Violent temper tantrums stands little chance of keeping a job or relationship with people

Autistic Employment

1. Sheltered Employment

Degree of job security (operated by employment training agency)

Simple tasks such as mail processing, collating, labelling, packaging, woodworking, or product assembly

Major drawback: adult with autism may never be ready for independent work

Structured work and guaranteed a job

2. Secure Employment

Same kinds of work as sheltered employment, but also trains person to work independently at a competitive workplace

Training focus on improving job skills, and behaviour (work with less supervision)

Works best with adults who are severely affected by autism and those who have had little or no employment training

3. Supported Employment

Ideal for adult with acceptable behaviour and has necessary skills to work in competitive workplace, yet still requires supervision to complete job tasks

Working at real job sites (stock store shelves, pricing merchandise, assembling products, cleaning offices)

Professional or volunteer as job coach would support autistic adult by teaching skills needed for job, reinforcing appropriate behaviour, providing transportation to and from job site

Increases independence so that the autistic adult can work without a job coach

4. Competitive Employment Comes and goes to work by themselves, and does not need a job coach

Typical job tasks: word processing, data entry, mail sorting and delivery, office assistance, library help, janitorial services, and work in grocery stores, delicatessens, and bakeries

Competitive employment is uncommon

Graduation from supportive environment where adult no longer needs supervision or training

Residential Settings Community Group Homes

2- 8 adults (during the day, residents go to work or training), and often a variety of disabilities

Staff at home does housekeeping

Supported Apartments

Less daily supervision, but still has full-time supervisor (may not reside at apartment)

Skill Development Homes and Host Family Homes Host family is paid by state, and they treat adult with autism like a member of the family (teaches self-care, housekeeping, recreation, leisure-time skills

CELLO COFFEE TABLEevocative sound meditative

EVOCATIVE SOUND MEDITATIVE

This project was based on the book “evocative objects” where students have to pick an object that they intend to further explore. The object which I chose for this project is the cello.

Cello creates a sound that calms the mind of indi-viduals. Through research I discovered that the sound wave cello produces is most similar to the sound wave we project. I intend to recapture the calm soothing moments by designing a coffee table. In the rapid pace of the 21st century, a five minute coffee break would satisfy our stressed and busy mind. My design allows the users to alienate themselves from the busy schedule for a few moments. It also stimu-lates the sound of the cello and forms a community.

Form : The table is a combination of four compart-ments. Each of the pieces are light weight. This allows the users to choose by their own desire whichever form they prefer. Ranging from shoe rack, book shelf, coffee table to personal work space.
