DESKTOP ORGANIZER, 2018
My desktop organizer is mostly a decorative design that is inspired by styles such as Zara home and Muji. It contains a frame for a picture, an aroma bowl for a relaxing and meditating aroma, and a tissue box as a cleaning tool. It can be used anywhere such as the office or home. It is a self-care kit for people who like to be organized and desire a simple decorative object.
TRASH TO CASH LAUNDRY BASKET, 2018
200 Recycled plastic dry cleaning bags that were turned into a reusable laundry basket. The plastic dry-cleaning sheets were ironed on top of each other 200 times to create a thickness that is enough to carry laundries and standstill. The project was interviewed and published in Baltimore Style Magazine that can be seen below.
SILENT SHOE PAD
The Silent Shoe Pad project was inspired by the function and specifics of biomimicry. It is specifically inspired by a lions paw and how it functions in nature to help dancers land on the stage and animal rescue teams approach to animals softer and more silently.
TOOL PROJECT
I have created an accessory for the Dremmel to improve the ergonomic results that the Dremmel causes during its use. The accessories goal is to create an easy, comfortable and more controlled use of the Dremmel while preventing muscle strain and pain.
RESIN PRINTED GREEN TOY
As a project, I have re-created the bottom part of the Green Toy Brand Truck in the CAD program Fusion 360. I created dimensional sketches then built it on Fusion 360 completed FDM Test Prints and finalized with a resin print. I also rendered it on KeyShot to bring the product to a photorealistic environment.
