PILLARS OF MY DESIGN PHILOSOPHY:

04 INCLUSIVE EMPATHY FOR POSITIVE AFFORDANCES

03 SEAMLESS USABILITY &
ATTENTION TO DETAIL

02 ITERATIVE DESIGN AND CREATIVE
PROBLEM SOLVING

01 RESEARCH-BASED & DATA
ENFORCED IDEATION

INTERACTION DESIGN AND SYSTEMS ACHITECTING ELECTRICAL VERTICAL TAKE-OFF LANDING VEHICLE

Designing eVTOL mechanics from a System of Systems perspective, focused on optimizing propulsion systems for vehicular operation, configurations, and routes. Then scaling down to the personal experience level, designing the most aesthetic and comfortable experience for urban air mobility.

INCREASING WINTER ACCESSIBILITY USING AN INTEGRATED DIGITAL-PHYSICAL COMPUTING SYSTEM

Prompted to design a system that uses a sensor, actuator, and network system focused on an inclusive campus environment. Our project focused on creating a campus-wide system for clearing snow and winter challenges from sidewalk paths using physical computing and utilizing data into an application for students.

ENGINEERING MEDITATIVE AMBIENCE WITH DYNAMIC LUMINANT SOLUTIONS

Multidisciplinary design and engineering project that explores the manipulation of the physical environment with luminant solutions. Primary research of psychophysics and perception of lumination with the design, prototyping, and programming of cross-channel technologies, including C++, Python, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
