Case studies & process.

Develop a cost-effective and transportable water treatment solution that can be quickly deployed in remote or temporary locations, while utilizing existing 40-foot shipping containers available on-site and operating within strict budget constraints.

1. 01Research & Technical Understanding
2. 02Sketches & Spatial Planning
3. 033D Wireframes & Draft Models
4. 04Realistic Rendering & Optimization

• —Accounting for system losses like sludge or cleaning — 95% recovery rate
• —Filtration / Membrane Flux Rate — 60 LMH
• —Energy Consumption / Energy Intensity

This project successfully delivered a practical and visually compelling solution for portable water treatment under real-world constraints. While the final design prioritized function, cost, and ease of deployment, the project also highlighted opportunities for future development. Without the constraints of budget and reliance on pre-existing container dimensions, a more stylized and customized version of the system could be explored

Designing pieces that were functional enough for everyday use while letting the natural beauty of each wood species speak for itself.

1. 01Sketched and defined the shape of each piece.
2. 02Sourced hardwoods selected for grain and character.
3. 03Programmed and operated the CNC router for precision cuts.
4. 04Natural cracks filled with food-safe resin to preserve character and function
5. 05Power-sanded and finished with natural beeswax.

• —Moved from machined to injection-molded enclosure
• —Standardized on a single fastener spec across the build
• —Negotiated tolerance with EE to remove an entire bracket

Shipped on schedule. Unit cost down 34%. Field returns at six months under 0.8%.

Translate sustainability research into deliverable pilots involving faculty, industry partners, students, and community organizations.

1. 01Mapped stakeholders and shared incentives across each program
2. 02Translated research goals into project milestones and deliverables
3. 03Facilitated co-design workshops between faculty and industry
4. 04Tracked outcomes against funder and institutional reporting needs

• —Adopted a shared milestone framework across programs
• —Built lightweight reporting cadence to reduce admin overhead
• —Designed onboarding materials to bring partners up to speed faster

Multiple programs running in parallel with reduced coordination friction and clearer outcomes for funders and partners.

Build a complete, emotionally coherent experience in three months — narrative, mechanics, art direction, and ship.

1. 01Wrote the emotional beats before the mechanics
2. 02Prototyped traversal until it felt physical, not gamey
3. 03Iterated lighting and ambient audio together as one system
4. 04Tested with eight players outside my immediate circle

• —Removed the inventory system — it was distracting from presence
• —Locked the camera framing instead of giving full control
• —Cut a second environment to deepen the first one

Shipped on time. Average session: nineteen minutes. Repeat play rate above expectations for a short narrative piece.

Operators reported wrist fatigue after extended use. The brief: keep the price point, change the experience.

1. 01Observed twelve operators across three shifts
2. 02Pressure-mapped grip across user hand sizes
3. 03Prototyped four handle geometries in SLA
4. 04Tested with operators over a four-week pilot

• —Shifted the grip axis 7° to neutralize wrist deviation
• —Reused the existing internal mechanism to preserve cost
• —Specified a softer overmold only at the high-pressure zone

Operator-reported fatigue dropped meaningfully across the pilot. Cost held within 2% of the original unit.
