developing solutions

Infant mortality across the globe is a huge problem, and none more so than in the developing world. 98% of neonatal deaths occur in countries where there is not a suffi-cient health care system in place.

One of the main issues is a lack of basic tools and equipment to help sustain life during such a vulnerable stage, especially in rural areas. Over the course of 9 weeks, we worked closely with UC Berkeley’s Ep-idemiology department within their School of Public Health to research and develop viable solutions to this problem. Our solu-tion aims to address numerous issues with the established methods of infant care, all within an affordable, accessable, and easy to use model.

SETTINGFOCUS

In developing countries, a little bit goes a long way. We want our de-sign to be useful not just for a short period of one month until health is achieved, but across a longer span of the babies life.

Usefullness

AdaptabilityProtection

Mobility

Modern neonatal intensive care involves sophisticated measurement of temperature, respiration, cardiac function, oxygenation, and brain activity. These features need to be adapted to differentenvironments and settings.

Protection from cold temperature, infection, noise, drafts and excess

handling: Incubators may be de-scribed as bassinets enclosed in

plastic, with climate control equip-ment designed to keep them warm

and limit their exposure to germs.

Being able to safely transport a new-born infant is key to it’s survival in a life-threatening situation. We want

our designs to allow mobility both in extreme circumstances and for con-

venience in it’s second life uses.

Rural Home

Clinic

The second setting is a local clinical setting where electricity and trained personnel is available. Here we can address more prob-lems without being as restricted by cost.

We are interested in addressing home birth. “In developing countries, most poor women deliver at home. This suggests that, at least in the near term, efforts to reduce maternal deaths should prioritize community-based interventions aimed at making home births safer.”-Global Health Group, University of California San Francisco

arcimoto

Electric vehicle manufacturer Arcimoto is currently in the process of developing and refining their latest offering to the alternative transportation market. They aim to provide a unique, efficient and attractive solution to the current fossil-fuel focused vehicles on the road today.

In the summer of 2011, Arcimoto, Uliko Material Supply, and the University of Or-egon Product Design Department collabo-rated on a redesign of the vehicle’s interi-or. My team’s focus was in developing an environmentally sustainable seat design that was both attractive and considerate of end of use scenarios. Inspired by the mass amounts of interior waste that ends up in junkyards, our design incorporates minimal use of harmful materials, is efficient to pro-duce, and easily breaks down after the ve-hicle has served it’s purpose.

The Link Lamp developed out of collabora-tion with Lightbeam Industries, a producer of high quality LED light strips for commer-cial and consumer applications. They pro-vided a 12” strip light, around which the design was to be centered.

My focus was on creating an easy to pro-duce and flat-packable object with intrigu-ing, articulated movement as well as a compelling aesthetic. The design consists of 4 main wooden parts which slide to counteract the weight of the vacuum-mold-ed shade. It requires less than two square feet of 3/4” wood and the same of 1/16” thermo-form PPT plastics to produce.

shap

e shifter

The premise of the Shape Shifter vehicle design is based on the need for a practical solution to two vehicles everyone is familiar with: the pickup truck, and the recreational vehicle. While there is a devoted communi-ty behind each, with many overlaping quali-ties, many of these vehicles find themselves sitting unused for long periods of time. My design hopes to add an aspect of much needed practicality, and capitalize on the long life of ownership both of these vehicles deserve.

Based on a modular electric chassis, my design increases usable space by placing motors directly in each axle. This allows the body to adapt to numerous different tasks, including functioning as a camper, pickup truck, or other various uses. Seperate piec-es such as the camping enclosure or truck bed segments can be lifted on and off of the truck and secured by as little as two people. This configuration allows for cost effective customization for specific needs, and brings extreme practicality to the con-sumer automobile market.

mesh mixer

My objective was to create a thought-ful, useful, and intuitive houseware object that employs the use of simple machines powered without the use of electricity.

The concept of the Mesh Mixer came about from research in object interac-tion, habits, design language and en-vironments. Common and uncommon houseware objects were extensively tested, with ergonomics and proxe-mics being the focus within the con-text of the kitchen. The final concept and model is an exploration of simplis-tic design’s ability to be effective; It is derived from a desire to eliminate has-sels, breakages and power consump-tion from everyday cooking objects.

human powered design

FEATURES- Variable height adjustment to allow for any assortment of bowls/containers to be utilized. The main body slides up and down a central pillar, with an inset rod to stop unwanted lateral movement.

- A large hefty base adds stability, safety and durability.

- Interchangeable tines to accomodate any assortment of tasks, from whipping eggs to kneading dough, to mixing ground beef.

- An interchangeable gearing system that is cpable of regulating both speed of the tines, and the torque needed to accomplish the task.
