DESIGN PROCESS

My design process starts with an idea that I use to define an opportunity which allows me to generate concepts that I then funnel down until one solution remains.

MONITOR DATA

Based on the 60 minutes of activity children should partake in a daily, Lumina changes color using RGB LEDs for every 30 minutes of activity logged allowing the user to see at least one color change per day.

Each blue level reached will be logged and go towards earning rewards such as new color levels.

LEVELS OF ENGAGEMENT

Color change encourages healthy competition

Digital web applications enhance play for child as well as involve parents in their child’s health.

Unlockable light features encourage further play

PEEL

IDEAMost IKEA customers aren’t designers yet they are always quick to judge and criticize products the encounter. I wanted to educate the customer on the product design process and hopefully increase their satisfaction with the products they buy.

Designed as part of a collaboration featuring students from San Jose State Uni-versity, University of Lincoln (UK) and Philadelphia University. Group members include Vincent Pascual, Joseph Rimmer, Brenden Feuct Greg Sundermann and Kevin Hannon.

IDEAThe Den rug was created as part of an international collaboration taking place in Philadelphia and California between students at Lincoln University (UK), Philadelphia University and San Jose State as part of the Mbrela Design Collective.

Sketches done as a group.


REFININGFORM

Mock-ups were made using various inexpensive rugs and Ikea’s Ofelia throw. The various iterations explored color schemes, shapes, entry details

A solar seating station that allows for a physical, mental & electronic recharge in the hustle and bustle of city life. Arbor takes on the existence of isolation in an urban setting.

ARBORA group project sponsored by the City of San Jose, under Leslie Speer & John McClusky. Group members include Joseph Sanchez, Bryan Day, Maria Lopez, Bryan De Leon, and Vince Pascual. The project was featured as part of the San Jose Green Vision Clean Energy Showcase and Sustainability 3.0 at San Jose State University.

THE JOURNEY OF ARBOR1 Arbor started out as a class assignment sponsored by the

City of San Jose as well as a local solar company. The original concept of Arbor was that of my classmate Joseph Sanchez. Pictured is his scale model.

After being chosen by the San Jose Public Art Committee, Joe organized a team of his peers to bring develop the concept of Arbor. As part of the team I helped to bring Arbor to life.

As part of a team we quickly developed mock-ups and sketches reflecting ideas we had to refine Joe’s concept.

A full scale model was created to help the team gain a better understanding of scale. It brought Arbor into the tangible world.

A prototype was built by Stoller Studios of San Jose with help from the team. Once completed the prototype was installed in Downtown San Jose as part of the San Jose Green Vision Clean Energy Showcase

“Arbor is a multi-level seating system inspired by observations of nature, technology and urban living. Because of its modularity Arbor can be placed anywhere in the city from the heart of downtown to the edge of suburban areas.”

IDEATION +EXPLORINGFORM

Mock-ups where made to work out details concerning stitching, storage, the hanging mechanism and integrated bungees.

Using rapid ideation, I generated a large amount of ideas that I could finesse and conceptually develop. The final five concepts revolved around ideas such as user interaction, maintaining the Globe look and addressing my demographic.

MATERIALS

Eco Storm is a moisture permeable and water proof material that archives both environmental performance and comfort. Its base fabric uses recycled polyester fiber, and a thin polyester film is laminated onto it. Recommend for outerwear for outdoor use.

All metal components are made out of aluminum. Aluminum is a low density metal resistant to corrosion and is 100% recyclable.

Polyethylene terephthalate a synthetic fiber made from recycled beverage bottles.

3M Fabrics are composed of retroreflective lenses bonded to a variety of fabric backings. They sew easily onto other fabrics and can be embroidered or screen printed for patches and emblems.

An easy to store stackable food steamer designed to promote healthy eating. It cuts down on prep and clean up by allowing food to be taken directly from the steamer to the table without any extra dishes.

ENTRAP


Steamer and stock pot are taken out. Food is prepared and placed into/onto steaming chamber or tray.

ENJOY!

Chambers and trays are assembled. Components are stacked and stock pot is filled with water. The steamer is placed over stock pot. Heat is applied. Cook time varies according to recipe.

Once food is cooked, steamer is disassembled. The upper tray and chamber are removed from the lower, the lower chamber and tray are flipped over.

The chambers are removed and the trays are then taken to the table to serve food.

The steamed food is then eaten and enjoyed off of the trays. After meal, the steamer components (sans bamboo; which must be hand washed) can be placed in the dishwasher to clean. Clean steamer is put away.

The entrap steamer uses a moist-heat technique of cooking which means that food is cooked using heated water. It is the same technique that is used in bamboo steamers.

Water is placed in a pre-existing stock pot or similar style pot, food is prepared outside of the steamer, then moved into the steamer. The steamer is placed on top of the stock pot and heat is applied until the water reaches 212°F and turns to steam.

The steam travels through the compartments of the steamer and cooks the food; cooking time varies depending on individual recipes.

The entrap replaces the need for a pot lid when steaming food. It simply sits upon the lip of the pot and traps the steam.
