LG G WATCH CHARGER AND PACKAGING

Smartwatches are becoming quite popular after being introduced in 2014. They have done well as a notification accessory for our phones. One thing that still needs developing is the charging dock, especially for the LG G Watch which, while is easy to use as a magnetic dock, has several problems.

Not stable enough to counter weight from watch and cable.

No way to ensure dock connection

Cable plug is not stable for long-term use.

I begin to sketch different dock frames. I wanted to keep the magnetic dock, but also make it more presentable.

I designed a model that would still present the watch in a more functional way, using an ABS plastic, thus also keeping production costs low without sacrificing the design of the dock.

SleekThe Stand-up design turns the chargin port into a perfect stand for the showing off the watch.

PortableThe top half of the stand folds down for easy transport.

StableHaving a wide base ensures that the watch will be held up. A rubber grip on the bottom prevents the dock from sliding.

After redesigning a more stable and elegant dock, I looked at the packaging for the LG Watch. The box, while sturdy, did nothing to showcase the product. It also was largely disporportionate to the size of the watch and charger, being nearly 400% larger.

The new packaging design uses the current LG logo in a way that exhibits the product rather than using a rendered picture. This new size reduces packaging size by 67%, while still keeping the watch and dock safely protected.

SleekThe Stand-up design turns the chargin port into a perfect stand for the showing off the watch.

CompactThis design is smaller, fitting more packages per pallet with less material, saving overall costs.

ModernThis package uses the product to sell itself, showing the elegance and modern design of the watch and dock.

WATER BOTTLE OPENING SYSTEM

Water bottles are used every day. However, for people who have suffered from a stroke, opening one of these can be very difficult to do, due to limited dexterity and movement in their hands, wrists, and arms.

After doing several sketches of ideas, I narrowed it down to thses three. I wanted a water bottle openeer that could be opened with one hand, so I looked at both manual and electric variations.

After making cabriole models of each, I consumer tested each one, looking for the most comfortable gripping forms. The customer really enjoyed the feeling of the third model, pictured here.

I began create the actual product. The goal was to create something simple, yet elegant.

Design was done in Solidworks. The base has a removeable suction cup, with demensions from SuctionCups.com.

BAPTIST COLLEGIATE MINISTRY GRAPHICS AND MARKETING

Until 2015, the Baptist Collegiate Ministry lacked a website. I designed their website, designing all graphics and logos for it. Using Square-Space, I was able to create a cross-platform website that reflected the community-based culture that the Baptist Collegiate Ministry holds so dear.

WEBSITE DESIGN

GRAPHIC DESIGNAll graphics from 2013-2015 were design be me, using PhotoshopCS6, Illustrator CS6, and InDesignCS6, and then later Photoshop CC. All graphics were designed for print as posters and/or flyers as well as digital release on social media sites.

I redesigned the social media face of the Baptist Collegiate Ministry, introducing tools, such as Tagboard, Facebook Analytics, and Sponsored Events to the organization to help increase engagement across campus and in the local religous community. Their face-book page went from 200 likes to 764 likes in 3 years, and they now have 337 followers on Instagram.
