Featured at CES 2020, Ossia’s Cota HOME delivers wireless power to devices within your home. This fully functional demonstration device uses beam-forming technology to target devices for charging. This project went from initial meeting to production prototypes in just a few short months, meaning that the designs were done in only a few weeks, with strict limitations on what internal components could be used. This is a classic example of designing from the inside out, defining the internal components, volumetric, and then aesthetic. Provided Industrial Design and Mechanical Layouts, and Mechanical Engineering, while at Pillar Product Design.

This canned-air topper allowed the user to inhale the full extent of the freshness from location-specific canned air. This ergonomic design had to conform to a wide variety of faces, while demonstrating a sleek, refined image to match the brand. For this project I provided Industrial Design and Solidworks surfacing to develop the ergonomic form, which was tested with Formlabs 3D printing before it was engineered for prototype. Work performed while at Pillar Product Design.

From research up through final prototype, this project entailed the complete redesign and brand language development for a premium soft-goods safety product. The final prototype brought the design to life with formed EVA padding, breathable panels, and NRS ORCA sections for extreme durability. Backed by 24 cumulative hours of on-site research, this design helped redefine a brand line direction.

An extension of Mackie’s highly successful CR Series, the Mackie CR-X Multimedia Monitors redefine home studio multimedia monitors. Available in 3”, 4”, 5”, and 8” varieties with an 8” subwoofer accompaniment, the CR-X series delivers pro level audio at a competitive price point. For this project I provided industrial design guidance and compilation of the final manufacturing and CMF documents for the Mackie CR-X line while at Pillar Product Design.

What an amazing idea come to life. Ceres Chill allows mothers with young babies to pump up to 12 oz into a reusable container that can be chilled with internal ice storage for up to 20 hours. With an existing proof of concept and a long manufacturing development process, I provided some industrial design details for the lid and cup with Pillar Product Design.

The Suppressor Series is a firefighter station uniform concept designed for VF Imagewear's Horace Small Brand. Using field research findings, the Suppressor Series targets problems with current uniforms from the lack of departmental differentiation, problems with gear storage, and lack of maneuverability.

As Visiting Assistant Professor in Industrial Design at Auburn University, I had the opportunity to manage an instructional studio of 45 students as I taught design foundations, form-giving, brand language development, and the user-centered design process in a team-teaching environment. Additional duties included redeveloping the curriculum's SOLIDWORKS course, expanding the product photography course, and planning and leading 20 students on a 3.5 week section of a study-abroad program through Ireland and Italy.
