A selection of work from design and art classes and personal projects which demonstrate and contextualize my skills, interest, and experience with design
In this first studio design class I took, we focused on modeling and design techniques through projects with foam, metal, wood and plastic.
Part of the second year curriculum for Western's industrial design pre-major, the projects for this studio class focused on designing and modeling 3D designs with wood, plastic and fabric.
This class in the industrial design program focuses on building fundamental skills in conveying accurate perspective and rendering through hand drawing.
Industrial Design 320 focuses on building skills with digital three dimensional modeling and rendering in Rhinoceros, Keyshot, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.
As a project for an Agroecology & Permaculture Design course I created a proposal for redesigning a local park into a self-sustaining homestead based on permaculture principles.
In this art class I explored the connection between identity and the act of crafting.
Experimenting with a new craft, I taught myself to darn and hand sew and used these skills to repair my favorite, worn-out hoodie. While our culture may stress the importance of clean fashion and the efficiency of replacement over repair, this sweatshirt shows the radical act of connecting with an object on a deeper level. I did not just consume this article of clothing, I participated in it by repairing and creating something new.
Inspired by pieces of old growth Douglas Fir I found at the local used materials store, this table is a response to the struggle between functional craft and expressive art. It argues that there is meaning and identity inherent to everything we create. To see something built by a human is to see a little of them, that their time, care and beauty are absorbed into the work and therefore shine through it.
During an internship at this small, local ski manufacturer, I developed a new logo and other branding materials for the company.
