Timepiece Students were assigned to

consider how you perceive

and visualize time; how you

use time in your daily life;

and what tools humans use

to measure and mark time,

from there we re-imagine

and design a

portable or wearable

timekeeping device.

The Dumbottle is a weighted

bottle to imitate the ef fects

of a dumbbell while also

configuring how much water

a person should drink in

a day with a silicone band

that also acts as a hidden

storage compartment for

keys, identif ication and

credit cards.

Skills Used:

• Hand Rendering

• 3DS Max

Toy DesignWe were assigned to design a children’s toy that not only was easy to play with, but that also had an educational purpose.

In beginning research the main focus was on nutrition and physical activity. The main concept is a life size board game, adding physical activity to the game as well as getting the children interested in learning about nutrition.

With that, the f inal product is an indoor/outdoor board game with a hectahedron die that will give them questions about the food pyramid as well as silicon tiles that show dif ferent activities when they land on that cer tain tile.

Lighting DesignFor the final project of our second year we were assigned to design lighting device for a use of our choosing,

With my device I wanted something that can help with growing vegetables during the winter season. In looking at research I found LED grow light that use red UV rays to help vegetable grow indoors.

With the actual design there needed to be a natural essence in the shape, hence the curves. The curves also acts as a reflector for the light wands to have better dispersion.

With the light wand they can be used within the vessel or taken out and put into other potting plants. This device will be helpful when needing fresh food year round.

Yoga KitIn my final year we had to

also design a product that

can be used to help with

wounded warriors and their

treatments needed.

In looking at various

treatments, the one that

was most helpful for

soldiers suffering from Post

Traumatic Stress Disorder

(PTSD) was yoga

and meditation.

With this product it is a two

part system 1.) bands that

go on your wrists, knees,

and head to help with the

alignment of the poses.

2.) A pressure sensitive

mat to help with balance.

By combining these two it

creates a more independent

yoga experience.

Her man Miller Proj ectFor this group project

we designed a student

workspace/workstation

to be installed in a design

office/studio. This allows a

professional distance learner

to attend virtual lectures,

critiques, and classes

remotely and interact with on-

campus professors

and students.

Our final product we used

the abstract idea of a city to

form a workstation. Where

the primary space is the

heart or main-street of the

city, secondary space is the

subway transporting ideas,

and tertiary spaces are

neighboring communities

or utilities.

Woo dshop For our Woodshop class

we had three major projects

we worked on; a box, lathe,

and container projects. With

these projects it enhances

our skil ls in different types

of machinery as well as

providing creativity while

doing hands on work.

In our final project we had to

design a piece that contained

something we choose

within 1,000 cubic inches.

For my piece I decided to

contain music and made an

IPhone docking station out

of air dried walnut. With this

project Using finger joints to

accentuate the edges and

lathed a speaker make it a

unique piece.

Knock Dow n DesignIn beginning graduate

school our woodshop II

class assigned us the

knock down design project.

We were asked to pick a

design style and design

three piece furniture set that

could easily be taken apart

in a specified UPS box.

From our three design we

had to pick one and make

an actual prototype.

The Booma office set is

a compilation of a roll top

secretary desk, bookcase,

and floor lamp shelving unit.

The floor lamp shelving

unit was selected to be

prototyped and is stil l

under production.

In our History of Furniture class, we were assigned to identify an historically significant piece of furniture and redesign a piece of contemporary furniture that transforms and transports the attributes and elements through time to the present.

The original piece is know as the Rohlfs Rocker designed by American Arts & Crafts furniture

In transforming this piece creating a statement through the use of the sides were key. While the original piece had a Chinese symbol for longevity the symbol on the side represents Earth. Other aspects include the use of soft upholstery and pegged tenon pay homage to the Arts & Crafts Movement.

The rocker on the left was

something that I found in

my basement that belonged

to my great grandmother.

I sanded it down to a

smoother surface and

applied a dark stain, then

I found a light fabric with

pastel-like petals that I

upholstered to the seat

and back.

The rocker on the right was a personal project while at an internship in Denver, CO. It was serendipitous find in a vintage shop. This project was easier since I had a guide with the previous upholstery on how the piece should work. Major changes besides the fabric was sanding it down to put a new coat of paint on the frame as well as adding better padding for comfort.

“Silhou ett e” Massage Chair

In my final year of woodshop

we were to design any piece

of furniture for ourselves,

basically giving use entire

freedom of design.

Within original research

the main goal was to have

a sense of duality. Also,

when looking at the piece

as my own I wanted to

make something that can

be beneficial for my friends

as well as myself. In looking

through precedent I wanted

to create something simple,

but elegant like the reading

writing chair.

Thus I decided to create

a massage chair that was

elegant to use when giving

my friends a massage, but

something functional that I

could use when I needed to

sit and relax.

DIS Study AbroadIn the summer of 2014

I had studied abroad in

Copenhagen, Denmark, at

the Danish Institute of Study

Abroad where I had spent

the whole summer learning

about furniture design and

near the end we built our

own chair that represented

Scandinavian design.

It was a wonderful

experience that opened my

eyes in experiencing new

cultures as well as new

approaches to

furniture design.

My final product is made

from solid maple for the

frame and red paracorde

for the webbing. I was

inspired by a corset with the

delicate weaving and a very

stuctured frame. Bringing to

life what I have named: the

sensual chair.

Exhibit DesignIn our second year we were

to design an interactive

‘near environment’ museum

exhibit display as a

theoretical component for

a ‘phase 2’ extension of

an exhibition at the Flint

Hills Discovery Center in

Manhattan, Kansas.

In the ‘phase 2’ portion it is

slated to focus on ‘forces’

that shaped the Manhattan,

KS area from 1917

to 1963.

This design focuses on

Kansas State University

during the 1920s. I sought

out help at the Kansas

State Historic Costume and

Textile Museum where they

prescribed a 1920s school

dress (seen on the right).

These artifacts created an

eye-catching design while

also using minimal space.

Concept: Concept: During the period 1917-1929 there is boom in Greek life, as well as a scandal about bloomer checks that made national news. With such an attention getting decade the design showed no less. By having eye catching graphic panels and memorable interactive boards helps to transport the visitor into the 1920s as a student at K.S.A.C.

Grapic panels provide as an attention getting device with photos from the Royal Purple during 1925-1929

With such a major growth in Greek Aff airs this board helps futher explain how K.S.A.C gained so many fraternities and soroities during that time.

Th e touch screen interactive allows the visitor to look at diff erent fraternities and soroities and learn what the are about as well as looking through the Royal Purple to see brother and sisters of the past.

Th e board discusses the scandal of the bloomer checks and how the dean of women set a standard of appropiateness.

Th e Interactive provides people with expressing their opinion on the matter with adjusting the fi gure to what they think is appropriate, giving visitors a chance to open up about the topic of modesty.

Restaur antThis was an international

student design competition

presented by the Retail

Design Institute. We were

given a proposal for an

American fare restaurant.

Along with the RFP our

professor wanted us to also

focus on branding

and signage.

The design concept was

an open floor plan creates

community dining and

a chance to mingle with

other customers. It also

showcases certain areas

by using material changes

to emphasize that particular

area. In order to be

sustainable we provide a

variety of mason jar sizes to

store our food.

Cor por ate Space PlanningFor this first project of our

fourth year we were asked

to design an office space

for an all natural pet food

company. Their goals for

the space were to create

an inviting space for staff

and guest. Ideally, spaces

should be designed for the

tasks performed in

each department.

The overall goal of this

project was to gain

awareness in work and

social dynamics in the early

process stages

of programming.

Digital Media OfficeIn this design project

we had to renovate a

warehouse into a two-story

office space for a digital

media company.

In choosing a location

I focused on the digital

aspect in finding future

employees in the

technology related field,

Raleigh, NC was the

perfect choice.

In designing the space, the

creation of a natural and

open space is seen in the

use of very neutral colors

and facade materials. With

pops of color in designated

spaces it enhances certain

areas, providing focused

area for people to work.

Officescapes Inter nshipFrom January to May of 2014

I was in Denver, Colorado

for an internship with a firm

called Officescapes. The

firm sells high end office

furniture from manufacturers

(i.e. Steelcase, Turnstone,

and Knoll). I worked within

the design team and helped

with schematic design and

material choices.

The majority of the work

I had done while at this

internship was renderings for

clients, along with organizing

materials, and being apart of

design meetings and lunch

and learns, gaining new

knowledge of new products

available from manufacturers.

Wou nded Warr ior For our Capstone studio in my final year we had to design a rehabilitation facility for wounded warriors.

In creating this facility there was extensive research done on various ailments such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) then finding the appropriate treatments.

From the research there was a focus on anti-stigma within the facility and making it have a sense of a community center rather than a hospital.

The concept for the facility is based on chakra and how the balance of the human body can be transferred into the building. In doing so it creates an inviting environment for soldiers nervous about getting treatment.
