Product Walkthrough [email protected]
Frame your shot with projected guidelines and capture photos with the press of a button.

Using the Kickstand [email protected]
Switch to projector mode with the scroll knob and pop out the kickstand by pulling outwards.

Projector mode [email protected]
Project images anywhere you want and let your creativity take care of the rest.

Brainstorming on Pico-Projectors [email protected]
I based the theme of the product on sea creatures to evoke a sense of whimsy around the concept of projecting light.
![Page 9: Portfolio Sept. 2012](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042704/568c3ba01a28ab0235aad58a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Pocket-sized Device Form Exploration [email protected]
After limiting the scope to only pocket-sized devices, I arrived at a design that looked like a jellyfish or a squid.
![Page 10: Portfolio Sept. 2012](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042704/568c3ba01a28ab0235aad58a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
2D Concept Refinement [email protected]
Refining the design further, I went with a kickstand mechanism for positioning the light projection.
![Page 11: Portfolio Sept. 2012](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042704/568c3ba01a28ab0235aad58a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Surface Refinement & Button Layout [email protected]
After creating a paper mockup, I lengthened the body of the device to leave more room to grip without covering the lenses.

Watch for the Blind Design Concept
![Page 14: Portfolio Sept. 2012](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042704/568c3ba01a28ab0235aad58a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Concept Sketching [email protected]
I came up with this watch concept while designing a money-reader for the blind and decided to focus on the watch function exclusively.
![Page 15: Portfolio Sept. 2012](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042704/568c3ba01a28ab0235aad58a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A rubber-polymer watch strap makes it easy for people with limited dexterity to put on the watch without dealing with small latches.
Product Walkthrough [email protected]

The watch is read by feeling the position of the leading edge of each hand. The dots around the face indicate the hours.
Reading the watch [email protected]

Tool-free battery replacement [email protected]
With the ability to replace the battery without tools, this design gives a blind user a greater degree of freedom than a standard watch.

Keyboard Design Project
Working with an independent tech entrepreneur, I designed a keyboard inspired by Apple products.

The client requested the aesthetics of the iPhone 4 to be used as a starting point, so I broke down the elements that make up the iPhone and other similar products to further define the design direction. Design Positioning Boards

Design Inspiration & Sketches [email protected]
With client input, I created three keyboard designs based on aspects of several Apple products.

Inspiration Board, 2007 Crown [email protected]
My design team was tasked with designing an nature-themed crown with as much visual impact as the 2007 Miss USA Crown (pictured right).
![Page 25: Portfolio Sept. 2012](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042704/568c3ba01a28ab0235aad58a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Concept Development [email protected]
We explored many different themes and shapes that would express the elegance and beauty of nature.

Scale Model in Paper and Wire [email protected]
A wire and paper model helped to determine the scale of the crown before I created a 3d CAD model in Rhino.
