It's lightweight, simple to use and stores away items in the strap-pocket and it's beautiful.

		<description>For our final assignment in our Metals II class, we were tasked to create a mechanical assembly that fit together.  It was a test of machining precision and ingenuity.  My focus was to create movement through mechanical connections – simple connections that are foundational to mechanical technology we take for granted.

Movement of the diaphragm is created when the two plates are turned against each other.  Each blade is pinned to one pivot point and the other side glides along a arcing slot.

		<description>This project was completed in my Metals II class in the Spring Semester at RISD. The exercise aimed to practice milling machine operations on the Bridgeport using a simple block of wood. 

Beat Block was a two day project which involved creating jig for the angled conical hole.  The design allows the iPhone to be amplified by a simple disposable cup.  As the cup also acts as a volume control as it turns.

		<description>I'm an industrial design major from Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, BC Canada and have a range of brewing passions that includes Design Strategy, Product Design, Service Design and Interaction Design.

I am an obsessive learner and when it comes to technique or measurable progress, I am all for it – albeit how to chop an onion, a thorough gate analysis of my jogging cycle, my footwork and positioning in racket sports.  I like to observe movements and intricacies of things as (mundane as they are) to make them repeatable – it's all in the details.

What's New?

I just graduated! I could just leave it at that, but last year, I had the amazing priviledge to attend Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) through the AICAD Mobility Program which allows me to study for one full semester.  The semester blew by so fast and I did my best to soak in the opportunities through interacting with the brilliant minds on College Hill as well as the local entrepreneurial industry of New England.

Interests and Passions?

I have a passion for connecting with people and I believe it's imperative that how we frame our problem space is human-centered - The implementation of design research methods to understand the people and motives of a situation.  I'm most interested in understanding the needs of people, synthesizing research into actionable insights and strategizing the tactics required to remedy the problem within context.
