Adryon's Pendant - I made this pendant as part of a guided study in jewelry making. My goal was to create a piece that would express the vivacity and grace of my girlfriend, Adryon.
Concave Ring - A hand-forged concave ring, also made in Florence. A ring of square wire is soldered to each side of a simple flat band. The convex shape is then hammered out by placing the ring around an iron cone. Finally the stone can be set and the wire fastened. I really like the small crack in the stone.
MyDog Needfinding - "Mydog" was part of a needfinding project for a major American dog food company. Over a period of 3 weeks, my group observed and interviewed more than a dozen dog owners in order to uncover the latent needs of this large market. Through our research and analysis, we were able to describe the current social paradigm, suggest a paradigm shift that would result in happier dog owners, and propose a set of product and service solutions to bring about this shift.
@home - Concept for a web-enabled cell phone service used to remotely control the electrical appliances of one's home. Lighting, cooking, entertainment, and security features are demonstrated in this 5-minute video. Shows how film can illustrate the concept without manufacturing the actual product. Please visit my website and see the video.
Accessible Table - Prototype of a small table designed for wheelchair users. It features an adjustable surface height and rolling wheels to allow easy transition between the able-bodied and accessible kitchen. I worked with wheelchair users and physical therapists throughout development to better meet the user's needs.
