Utilizing deep research into developing technologies and trends, I forecasted how generative AI, DNA data storage, and holography could be used to enhance communication as a visual aid. Citing recent breakthroughs in text-to-3D-Model generative AI, holographic projection, and light-gated enzymes, this design concept is backed by a strong justification.

Slow Children is a book displaying high quality recreations of street signs, both official and homemade, that were created to alert drivers to the presence of children. The book has only one page of text, creating commentary instead through comparison of the signs and their elements. Each page spread consists of two signs thoughtfully selected to be viewed alongside each other.

Getting into a car accident is a shocking and negative experience for anybody, which is only made worse by the costs that follow the collision. Preventing injury with an airbag deployment should not come with the consequence of having to pay hundreds of dollars, it should instead be a moment of relief. Through the design process of biomimicry, I set out to find a solution to our current model of single-use airbags. When airbags are set off, a charge triggers a small explosion which causes the bags to rapidly expand with gas. This is a single-use system, and the replacement of this system’s components after detonation is what consumers are paying for after a collision. My focus therefore was on finding a substitute for that exploding reaction.

My focus therefore was on finding a substitute for that exploding reaction. In my research, I came across the spittlebug, a species that creates bubbles for shelter by secreting a liquid and pumping it with air using their own abdomen. The self-reliance of the spittlebug inspired me, what if the car itself could inflate the airbags?
This modular car toy provides endless amounts of play through its customization. This iteration of the toy comes with 3 pairs of body pieces, 3 sets of wheels in different sizes, and one universal construction base. The universal construction base allows for all parts of the toy to come together to form a moving vehicle. The body pieces slide onto the base using milled dovetail joints that run the full length of each piece. This gives the pieces a stopping point when they are sliding onto the base, indicating that they are pushed to the correct point. The wheels fit onto the axles on the base with pressure fitting. Brass tubes are fitted inside the base, housing the axles and giving them a surface to spin against that will create less friction than wood-on-wood contact. Stoppers keep the wheels at a set distance from the base, aligning the wheels on each side. All edges are rounded as a safety measure for children.

Looking to innovate a kitchen product, I interviewed several home cooks and found frustrations with colanders, including annoyances cleaning them and their ugly visual appearance, both stemming from their numerous of holes. I thought of ways to simplify the colander through the lens of modern design aesthetics to function without all those holes. This new take on a colander consists of a bottomless bowl attached to a rounded base in 4 small spots. When contents are poured into the colander, water flows off of the rounded base and through slits that are exist as gaps between the base and bowl. Pictured above is a finished prototype and an in-progress second attempt at fabrication utilizing improved techniques.

I found that although I enjoy the convenience of drawstring bags, I have a few issues with how they interact with the human body. I used large metal chain-links as "straps" for the bag because their weight and width prevent shoulder slipping. I discovered the steel double clevis at the hardware store and loved it, so I created a metal "skeletal system" with the chain-links anchoring at the bottom of the bag to the double clevis and attaching at the top of the bag to thin cables serving as the “drawstring” closing mechanism. The double clevis provides a centered weight to the bag, making it feel comfortable and secure even when it isn't carrying much. The skeletal system also allows for the weakest materials, the duck cloth that makes up the “bag”, to be easily replaced around the skeleton of metal parts.
