Human-centered Design Engineer
I want to bridge the gap between design and engineering with my experience working along the product development cycle from product definition to manufacturing.
I love working on challenging projects that positively impact people and our planet; I am engaged in environments where design is found through creative exploration.
Projects
Human-Centered Design · Design Research · Iterative Prototyping
How might we solve the pain point of water bottles not filling fully at sinks and water fountains?
Built and tested 4 design iterations going from minimum viable concepts to a high fidelity silicon molded product.
Design Engineering · Electronics Design · Fabrication
Engineered 250kg capacity scale to validate robot’s center of gravity for manufacturing quality checks.
Interaction Design · Electronics Design · Prototyping
How might I create a product that allows us to create better watering habits for our plants and gives an indication of plant health?
Injection Molding · CNC Machining
Capturing the magic and delight in a child’s sketch and bringing it to reality in a manufacturable toy that can be repeated at scale.
Interaction Design · Electronics Design · Prototyping
Working in a team of two, I worked to design an interactive box to illicit the emotion of Urgency through the experience of opening it.
Iterative Prototyping · Design Engineering
Designing and fabricating an applicator to accurately place a foam seal into a plenum.
Bionic Wrench
Design for Manufacturing · Design for Assembly
Took the commercially available Bionic Wrench, reverse engineering it to determine manufacturing, assembly, and tolerances. To create a balanced and efficient assembly process.
Industrial Design · Brainstorming
Various sketches done for brainstorming and ideation around electronics, furniture, public spaces, and consumer goods.
P&G Home Cleaning Innovation
Partnered with P&G to identify opportunities within home cleaning for consumers 55+. We collected insights through 3 rounds of user research and tested 10+ prototypes with our users to arrive at our final recommendation.
