We were given the opportunity to work with two people from Liberty Resources, a non-profit organization that advocates and promotes independent living for persons with disabilities. We worked closely with Mitchel and Marsha during the design process to properly evaluate their needs.

Our first steps were to interview and observe. A key problem area we discovered was difficulty of operating the chair while simultaneously holding something in the extra hand. Users in electric wheelchairs, when in motion, must have one hand at all times controlling the chair leaving only their second hand for holding/gripping of objects, groceries, beverages, etc. 

We addressed this usability problem by developing a flexible and movable third limb and hand that could be universally attached to multiple areas on a chair. The "limb" also needed to be easily moved out of the way when not in use. In considering our partners other physical conditions, such as arthritis and multiple sclerosis, we opted to use industrial coolant line which allows for pivot points to exist anywhere along the "limb". We found that this flexibility could be adapted easily.

This project pushed us to develop a narrative that could help potential audiences and our peers identify with our stakeholders and to share in their experience of being confined to a wheel chair.

This series of sketches and process photographs are to illustrate an interest I had in finding a new solution for unconventional joinery. I wanted to experiment with two part plastic casting.

I was interested in routing out parts of a wooden structure and using casted plastic as a method of joinery to create a unique and hardware-less form.

Analog time pieces  are currently in a pre-production state! 
Use the form below to be added to a waiting list to find out when you can own your own piece of nature! 

I wanted to design a wooden watch brand that would bring a little bit of nature into daily life. Featuring a unique flexible soft strap, my goal was to create a gender neutral form that accentuates the material. I prototyped various watch forms, faces, and straps. This project involved material explorations, form studies, product development, and brand identity building.

A look book for the line can be found here.

Working with GreensGrow farms, an urban farm here in Philadelphia, we were able to create a low cost, flexible, and easy solution to resale shelving.

On site observations led us to the reuse of the existing pallet structure. We found that by attaching two together to create an A-frame, we were afforded various levels of display as well as the ability to keep the structure simple, modular, and stack-able. The modularity of this shelf structure was essential, as the farm changes constantly through out the winter and summer harvesting seasons. This design afforded more resale space within the currently existing resale footprint at GreensGrow.

Urban farms usually have a very limited budget, are supported by volunteer staff, and are at times dependent upon selling plants to subsidize the costs of growing vegetables in the city. We believe we provided a system that addresses the needs we found.

We created two key means of shelving: a very low cost, simple, and universal bracket made by a modified 2x4 and a slightly more expensive but more permanent folding shelf.

By creating an open source manual and installation guide, with two budget options, we shared these low cost solutions to other urban agricultural farms and enthusiasts.

This design is based around observations of a classmates working habits.

My partner Mark is an avid woodworker who finds himself regularly needing to readily mark material or sketch out ideas. His solution is to always keep a pocket sized pencil, sharpener, and eraser in his back right pocket.

This pencil case/sharpener combo is meant to accommodate not only his aesthetic but one of his unique design quirks. 

+Made of walnut, closure is made of embedded magnets for easy opening.</description>
