I created Granite, an elegant USB type C flash drive, to address the future needs of the One Port Revolution
as leading companies shift their focus to type C ports.
USB Evolution
In a world with so many different versions of USB connectors, the idea of a new standard may seem overwhelming.
However, with brands like Apple and Samsung switching the ports in their devices to USB type C, there is an opportunity to introduce compatible products that will facilitate this shift, such as the well-known flash drive.

New Standard
In designing a product as ubiquitous and common as a flash drive, I wanted to produce a model with a form and finish that is down to earth. Granite's elemental and decorative design aims to emphasize its name.
Utilizing the natural, attractive colors of the granite stone enabled me to conceptualize the overall CMF aesthetic of the Granite product line.
Unlike other USB type C connectors that are made of folded metal, Granite's main body is made of one solid material. This is to avoid any break-points, and to ensure the durability of the flash drive.
