2LED Light Shelf

Motion and light are powerful stimuli in

our lives. This project is an exploration

on how to use both elements for better

organization.

Each platform descends with weight,

forcing a conscientious instead of

haphazard placement of item. Upon

lowering item, vibrant color confirms

receipt.

3Pen Concept in Style of Gary Fisher Bikes

Question: How to visually design a pen in

the style of Gary Fisher Bikes?

Answer: Fisher bikes are iconic for their bent

top tubes for easier stand over. Borrow idea

and bend pen to better nestle in one’s

hand.

Traction is king on the trail, while control is

key on paper. Aggressive grips on the pen

mimic the knobs of a tire.

The front suspension is a Gary Fisher

innovation to cope with the bumps. A

spring loaded pen tip provides a much

smoother stroke.

4Pen Concept in Style of Puma

Question: How to visually design a pen in

the style of Puma?

Answer: Translate the on-the-go lifestyle

of Puma fashion into a portable and

fashionable writing tool.

Bracelet is made from heavy canvas with

single loop Velcro, hand sewn together.

5Fetish Knife

In exploring my own values and styles, I’ve

found a fetish for customization. This craft

knife embodies that effort to create unique

versions of everyday products. A beautiful

product should be crafted with beautiful

tools.

6Custom CNC Bottle Openers

As my first CNC project, I wanted to fully

explore cutting different materials with

varying types of tools. I chose a basic

shape and decided to make copies in

6000 series aluminum, 303 stainless steel

and brass.

Each material had unique cutting times

and characteristics, with the 303 stainless

proving especially tough. Aluminum is hard

anodized while the steel and brass are

brush finished.

7Collapsing Jewelry Box

Jewelry is made to be worn, to be

displayed in public, but in private is often

hidden and locked.

This box promotes jewelry’s glittering

purpose even in storage. Each type of

jewelry nestles within its own specific nook

for a more intimate display.

Case is crafted from polycarbonate tubes

and sheet.

8Lazy Tote - Laundry Hamper

Living in a college dormitory creates a

specific need that laundry transport must

be light, portable and storable.

The extended handle and caster wheels

allow easy transfer of loads from far corners

of a building. The collapsing lightweight

aluminum frame makes for an easier move

at year’s end.

Fabricated tubing, machined joints, hand

sewn pack clothe.

9Mountain Bike Light Prototype

A key problem with lights mounted high

on handlebars or helmets is small bumps

cast smaller shadows, making it harder to

discern at night. Mounting the lights lower

on the fork solves this problem.

Other requirements included high intensity

LEDs, shock absorbent housing, and

long lasting lithium ion batteries. Case

disassembly also had to be tool less on the

trail.

Fuse deposition modeling process allowed

rapid prototype of housing out of ABS, a

shock resistent material, important on rough

trails with flying debris.

10InvisiDesk - School Writing Aid Concept

This collaborative project took my team

to the 4th and 5th graders at Ohlone

Elementary School. Our observations

revealed a need for teachers and students

to mark textbooks to emphasize words,

explain concepts or even practice cursive.

In order to not mar expensive textbooks,

this need was being fulfilled with copious

amounts of photocopied paper.

Our solution was a clear writable surface

designed to fit over any size textbook

for highlighting with traditional dry erase

markers.

In addition, handouts or lined paper can

also be slipped into the tablet for practicing

of cursive.

13Stanford Internet Solutions Lead Developer

April 2005 - June 2007

As an SIS developer, I regularly interact

with clients directly to outline functional

needs for their web presence. This ranges

from providing potential shoppers with a

sense of security and trust to providing

students with meal plan details.

I then utilize several web design tools and

programming languages to create appro-

priate solutions based on scale, budget,

time and ease of maintenance.

16Fetish Knife - CNC Machine Process

Final SolidWorks assembly. 3D model split in half for easier GibbsCAM processing. Material blank prepared with alignment holes. Final fixture setup with 1/4” bolts and 1/8” pins. Contour shape cut completed.

Surfacing operation completed. Opening is filled with Bondo filler. Blank is then flipped and opposite side is machined.

Parts can now be freely extracted. Bondo is removed with heat gun and parts are ready for sanding and finishing.

17Lazy Tote - Prototype Iterations

Early tube bending die made from soft wood. Die would sit under arbor press to make long curve bends.

Early failure of wood die gave ample time for new die to be made.

Next tube bending die made from MDF board routed and bolted together. Strength was more than enough to bend tubes.

Plastic prototype of hinge mechanism. Vise stops used to aid in quicker operations without re-measuring.

Non planar surfaces cut with custom made angle blocks.

First assembly of hinge joint with sintered bronze bearing.

Hinge machining was valuable lesson in mass manufacturing.

90 degree bends made on DiArco tube bender while large radius legs were bent using MDF die.

18Lazy Tote - Final Prototype

Round plugs turned from single rod stock. Each plug tapped to accept 8-32 screw. Plugs were bathed in liquid nitrogen to shrink diam-eter by 1 thousandths of an inch.

Aluminum plugs are then press fit into ends of tubing.

Cutting threads on cam lock shaft.

Initial tube reaming setup. Final more stable tube reaming setup.

First assembly of different sections.

Near final assembly of legs and wheels. Final product with fabric body completed.
