Product Design has allowed me to channel my artistic impulses in a methodical, system-atic and eminently applied way. A designer must be responsive to the society around her, combining creative design and ethnographic research.

chill w/ water of any quailty
chill without dilutingGlassCool
The Challenge: design and manufacture a product that has a specific function. It must be of either metal of plastic, and be made using at least two manufacturing processes.
The Product: a whiskey glass cooler. A hollow container holds water (to freeze), ice, or frozen gel packs. Can chill other beverages as well.

Household Chores -the good way
setting up the chore-alert completing the choressetting up the chore alert completing the chore
The Challenge: design a cultural map using the theme of Personal and Family Life. Seek ways to help mediate communication and a sense of community.ChorDoerThe Product: an iPhone app to enhance the distribution and completion of household chores. Makes finishing chores a reward-driven enterprise.
insightful
that’s a chore-alert.
what kind of a world is this?! I refuse to bow to my mother's will.
you're one chore away from a bike
DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG!
--“gardening”--USE CASE
discerning a usecase study 2
The Feedback: “It is hard to connect what my children do in the ‘cloud’ with our lives here on the solid earth. This seems like a good way to bridge the two.”
The Challenge: build a tower of cups & trays in the middle of the pond. You may not touch the tower or your apparatus once it has left the edge of the pond.
Collect-a-cup
The Result: the highest tower and points of the class of Fall 2010 Visual Thinking (ME101)
creative
prototyping a solutioncase study 3
Product Design at Stanford is an engineering major, the tools at my disposal range from material science to physics. Knowing how materials interact allows us to fathom how materials previously not used together could interact.
The Take-Aways: prototyping with found materials prototyping as a group brainstorming before testing brainstorming after testing
innovative

The Product: a way to engage with children while creating memories. Encourage children to engage with their surroundings!
The Challenge: make an impact on the lives of new parents of young toddlers. Keep in mind the business aspect of your design.

Parents need away to engage with their children in documenting family memories, to transform a spectator activity into one which involves their kids.
Kindergardens, children’s hospitals, scrapbooking aisles, through clay manuf. partner’s forums
parents who don’t want to buy electronicsfamily of blindselementary schoolshospitalsnature camps
Win an entirely new market niche by emphasizing a currently non-existant phenomenon.
The Take-Aways: rapid prototyping utilizing a feedback cycle group and individual concept-buildling
resourceful
Wuensch Dir WasThe Challenge: working with an independent wooden toy designer. Wuensch specializes in toys for children and adults with disabilities. Given such a niche market, savvy client development is key.
The Result: an insight into multiple different toy products, and first-hand experience at articulating the product to potential clients.

word of mouth design associations trade fairs cold calls
communicating a solutioncase study 5
The Action: Developing a client base means tuning in to the communities directly related to target products. In this case, forums for parents and educators of mentally and physically disabled children.
The Take-Aways: real-time project management project-client relation management consumer/market communication design networking
IDZAGDcreate berlin
The Challenge: notice what makes a person, a situation, an action unique in order to act on that knowledge in design.
The Result: Close studies in color and light arm me with the skills to look at a more complex problem and achieve new insights, a new solution.
