Inspiration/mood imagery. Focus on hardware / technology as a design element.

Understanding form

Sketching was used as a tool to study object forms, allowing one to test ideas quickly and develop a clear visual direction before moving into refinement phases.

further development

3D cad was utilized to further develop selected directions. Individual parts were reworked and tested to better align the form with the original design intent. Targeted adjustments were made t0 resolve form, structure, and usability.

Prototyping

Created a Fully working Prototype. Allowing one to validate the design in a real 3d space.


Initial prototype.

Non functional, to scale 3d print. used to evaluate how forms and proportions translate to 3d space.

Working prototype. (1)

Functional prototype developed to accommodate internal components and lighting structures. Adjustments made to fit proportion.

final prototype
production.

key elements were refined during this stage, including reworking connections between the foot and arm and introducing a diffuser plane to better control the light.

Final prototype.

Final prototype integrates structural, electrical, and material considerations into a cohesive (working) final design.
