Adam Bradley Industrial Designer

About Me

World be warned, a fanciful new industrial designer has hit the spotlight. My name is Adam Bradley. Born in a cozy town called Savannah on the southern coast of Georgia, I have been honing my skills at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Over the last ten years I have become fluent in the understanding of products and services, not only through my time at the University but also from working in the locksmith industry. I have designed everything from fitness equipment to chairs. I make products more ergonomic, intuitive, elegant, cost effective, and environmentally responsible to exceed customer expectations and give economic benefit to clients. I know how to build upon the foundation of products and businesses to enhance the service and experience that is being provided. I do all this by conducting research to brainstorm innovative solutions, which create meaningful experiences and brand loyalty for the target market. My goal as a designer is to create products that mature with the user and become more personable by interacting with them. I believe that the interaction of a service or product should be intrinsic to the user instead of the user having to adapt.

Wall Safe

• Difficult to install• Not Intuitive to change combination• Boring box form• Traps humidity• Requires crouching or bending to operate• Dark Inside• Requires 2nd operation lever mechanism

The purpose of this project was to fabricate a safe that was unlike any other on the market. I did this by researching thecustomers problems with existing safes, to develop innovative solutions.

Haiti Shovel


Haiti Shovel

• Disaster left landscape in ruins• Injured workers need ergonomic design• Require low cost to provide quantity• Disaster gave people muscle dystrophy

The purpose of this project was to create an ergonomicallydesigned shovel that would help with the relief efforts in Haiti.

Problems


Research

Haiti Shovel

Studied benefits and draw backs to different types of shovels.

I utilized hand measurements for people in the 50th percentile. These anthropometrics helped guide me to make a more ergonomically designed shovel.

Testing showed for each shoveling step what muscles were being used and how much stress a person applies to them.

Handle

Handle is hollow and light weight

Made of steel

Snow Shovel

Designed to support back pains

Used as crutch and handle

Less shoveling but each stroke is heavier

Wide blade so harder penetration but holds more

Big Blade

Garden Shovel

Must bend down to use shovel

Light weightDoesn’t hold much dirtSharp point for soil

Can grab handle for comfort

Can hold shaft bar for comfort

Long Shovel to decrease bending and back pain

Holds less thansnow shovel

Sharp tipfor easier penetrationof soil

User Testing

Haiti Shovel

I am testing a shovel. Coming up with different designs. Prototype shovel for testing.

The angles in the handles relieved stress on the triceps and biceps while shoveling.

Caring load with store shovel created stress, which our design helped alleviate.

Realized with longer shovel people had to bend less and relieved stress on the back.

21


Prototype

Haiti Shovel

Made inexpensive and easily transportable shovel for Red Cross. The bag was designed to house the shovel and be able to carry the rest of Red Cross first aid products.

The handles can be taken apart to make the shovel easier to transport. The bottom grip is adjustable. The top handle snaps in place.

22


Finished Product

Haiti Shovel

The grips are rubber coated for comfort and prevent hands from slipping. The handles are angled to make the shovel easier to use.

23

Upwards angle relieves tension in bicep

Long shovel decreases stress and bend in back

Spade blade allows for easy penetration and holds large loads

Downwards angle relieves tension in tricep

Multitask Desk ApplianceEngineering Information

• Marker typically made out of PVC tube and its ink is toxic because it contains Toluol Xylene.

• Teachers in North America throw away over 500 million white board markers a year.

• This marker is environmentally friendly and toxic free with no dioxin.

• Made from post consumer recycled HDPE and can be recycled.

• Uses Cyclic Alkylene Carbonates ink which is Xylene and Toluo free.

• Environmental impact of this marker is 1/1000th of a typical white board marker.

• Markers can be refilled, which drives down waste and cost.

• Parts snap into each other. Sleeve and eraser are epoxy onto body.

Stool

• Requires low cost for production• Each stool needs to be mass produced in 45min• Needs to sustain load up to 400lbs • Should be astatically interesting• 1/3 of Americans are obese

The purpose of this project was to mass produce a stool. Each stool had to be welded in less than 45 min, by creating and using a jig.
