MOCKUPS Testing and making functional prototypes was particularly vital to this design. I made several rounds in order to reduce the amount of steps when carrying a bicycle.

FAST AND EASYWhether you are going up one
flight or five, Lift is fast to set up and break down for daily trips up and down your staircase.

RELAX IN YOUR OWN WORLD.I was inspired by chairs that enabled the user into full relaxation mode. I wanted to sit in my own world.

bent veneer seatbent veneer back
FABRICATIONAfter modeling the chair in cad, a CNC mold was made. I glued 5 layers of veneer around the CNC mold, then sanding and trimmed the excess shape. Two pieces, a front and back were made due to the small radius of some of the bends.

understanding the jacket pattern
LIGHTEN THE LOADI measured many different evening bags to see how much room the jacket could take up. In order to understand more about garment construction, I took a part a jacket so I could understand the pattern and understand how I could create a lighter weight jacket.

FINAL CONCEPThidden back pocket
colored sleeve detail
petal collar
no lining, bright trim
- 31 -compact
EASY TO PACKTurn the back pocket inside out
and the jacket scrunches right inside. Because the fabric is pre wrinkled, the
texture of the fabric becomes a style element.

LIGHT CAN BE INTERACTIVE AND PLAYFUL
- 37 -crumple
INSPIRATIONI was inspired by the idea of crumpled paper, how the texture could be manipulated and decorative.

Flexible lithium ion batteries Soft circuitry and wearable electronics
TECHNOLOGYEXPLORATION
Flex sensors made of conductive fabric, thread, and velostat.
Soldering the resisters and flex sensor.Collaboration with my engineering collegue.
DETAILING IT OUTI created a cad model and designed flex sensors and an LED light pattern. I collaborated with my engineer friends to design the circuit for the components.

embedded LEDs that turn on if curtain is pulled closed.
FUTURE APPLICATIONSCrumple’s intent is to further the discussion of combining the propertes of soft circuit technology and interactive concepts. I believe that using flex sensor techonology with paper or fabric could create something interesting in future soft goods products. I plan to continue exploring further ideas with this concept.

MEET KEVINMy brother Kevin is diagnosed with cerebral palsy, moya moya and is quadrapalegic. Because of his condition, he is unable to take food by mouth so he uses a feeding pump to receive medicine and formula.
The feeding pump is used while on an IV pole or in a feeding pump bag. The accessories to the feeding pump need to be redesigned for a home environment.

THIS IS ALL HE CAN FIT IN HIS CURRENT PUMP BAG:
feeding bag and pump baby wipes and diapers extra formula, water, and containers
sun protection and pump charger
medicine and first aid kit
BUT WHAT ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE HE TRAVELS WITH?
SOMETHING FRIENDLY
current feeding pump backpack
Unlike the current pump bag on the market, a children’s backpack feels familiar to parents and their special
needs kids. By adding a dose of personality to the bag, it becomes fun and familiar.
