A small selection of recent projects

(2024 - present)

SILKWORMS

A research project that translated silkworm spinning behavior into a procedural Houdini tool, then applied the resulting pattern to consumer products as a proof of concept for computational biomimicry in design. Winner of Best Student Paper at the 2025 E&PDE Conference in Malta.

PLASTIC DYNAMISM

A set of three acrylic awards for Zeit Company that translate Umberto Boccioni's Futurist concept of plastic dynamism into physical objects. Each one uses a different fabrication method to suggest continuous motion and the merging of form with its surroundings.

GIFT WRAP HUB

An all-in-one gift wrapping station for We R Makers that holds the paper roll, cutter, and tape together, so the whole process happens in one place. It was my first product to go from concept through manufacturing to retail shelves.

ENVELOPE PUNCH UP

A redesign of the classic Envelope Punch Board for We R Makers, paired with a companion online calculator. The tool shrinks to roughly half its original footprint and combines a scoring guide, notch punch, and corner punch into a single body, while the calculator makes custom envelopes and liners possible in nearly any size. Patent pending.
