The following projects reflect my learned experience using different materials and methods of manufacturing. The amount of knowledge I’ve soaked in the process has become integral in my pursuit of design. By acquiring these new techniques and mediums, I believe that there are no restrictions – the possibility of creativity is truely infinite.

This project seeks to reinvent the way tea is served, providving an effortless and elegant method of pouring liquids.

ROC’s handle, body and teacups is created using the following processes:• Bent lamination (oak and

zebrawood)• Welded stainless steel• Slip-casted ceramic teacups casted

from lathed cup.

With this project, I was able to gain first hand experience of merging together three very different fabrication processes. Pictured right is a mold that is used to create the curvature of ROC’s bent laminate handle.

Inspired by choreography of traditional Japanese tea ceremony, ROC suspends gracefully until the spout is bowed, delivering tea in one sweeping gesture.

Jewelry through the ages has been regarded as objects of desire, made with precious stones and metals to adorn its wearer with status, beauty and mostly, to attract the attention of others. What if jewelry served more of a purpose than to attract? I sought to design a line of jewelry, starting with a ring, that not only attracted but warned others of its possibilities.

ACCESSORIESAS WEAPONRY

Pictured: Accessories as weaponry, arcylic rings that give its wearer an empowered appearance.

In this experiment I sought to channel the wrath of nature’s ferocity– elements of fire and ice were explored to create a product that emitted light.

Skills obtained during the project:• Calculating ratios of two part

resins.• Proper resin casting techniques.• Wood working [and breaking] • Basic arduino coding and

electronic circuitry.

ZAG is an interactive, ambient light source that interprets the violence of nature into an ambient experience. Using the apotropaic device “knock-on-wood”, the gesture of knocking on the wood turns the totem’s light on.

Holcomb’s Soap initially began as a fun packaging project with a colleague of mine. We came up with an idea to cast soap from an often misunderstood and underrated insect, the wasp’s nest, and centered the campaign around creating a new image for the poor wasp. I created and selected all of the graphics and fonts, and wrote up an appropriate story for the idea.

GRAPHIC WORKS

It was a hot spring afternoon on Holcomb Road... I was walking along, minding my own beeswax, when a soirée of wasps swarmed me, not with a sting, but with a proposal – to create an unusual line of soap made with the highest standard of ingredients and utmost quality. Using the wasp’s uncanny knack for nest fabrication, a peculiar shape for our bar soap emerged; a honeycomb waffle made of vegetable oils and butters that delightfully functions as an exfoliator.

An object of menace no more!

The goal for this project was to create packaging for a fictitious vitamin company. I chose to design my boxes around health-conscious teenagers who wanted a vitamin that didn’t necessarily have the same vibes as a regular vitamin. My basis for the die-cut started around a small “advil” box, as these bottles are easier to carry versus a larger vitamin bottle.
