Ignik Outdoors is a consumer-facing outdoor goods brand located on Bainbridge Island, WA with a focus on sustainable outdoor gear. Ignik came to Pillar Product Design to develop the FireCan on a tight timeline to meet the demands of a nationwide outdoor retail company, I was able to bring a nuanced product aesthetic, and rugged design engineering to this project. As the lead designer at Pillar Product Design, and working with a high-level concept from the Ignik team I developed the industrial design aesthetics of the product, did full Solidworks CAD development, and iterative design development of the human interface elements, before delivering prototype collateral and the first round of pre-production collateral of the original FireCan. The line has since been expanded into two other models, seeing the successful design language preserved and extended across this core Ignik product line.

The FireCan was designed as a companion product for Ignik’s existing Gar Growler. It allows for campfires “on the go” or to allow for the campfire experience when an area is under a burn ban. The unit is compact can can fold up and store the regulator hose in the interior of the product.
