Artwork Portfolio Updated

filed under: , , , , , ,

Whoa! Bet you never thought you’d be seeing this. After a few months of deadness, I’ve come back and updated my portfolio to include a bunch of my artwork from my AP days. I also come bearing the news that I’ll be switching majors at Lehigh come fall semester – I’m moving out of Integrated Business and Engineering, and into what I consider more true to my passions – Product Design (aka Industrial Design). There I’ll finally get the hands-on experience I want to have to build and create products in the future.

To celebrate my monumental decision to change majors (I nearly transferred schools!), I’m going to give this place a good sprucing up. There’s some code that doesn’t work, and the placement of the search bar has driven me mad for a while. And just look at the footer! A travesty. Well, I’ll fix that – and then some.

My updated portfolio contains selections (the good ones, anyway) from my AP portfolio. You can check it out under the “Artwork” section of the Portfolio tab on this site or click here!

Venti

filed under: , , , , , ,

venti-thumbVenti was the brainchild of Megan Cain, a quick-witted woman who could always see what people wanted. Megan’s idea for a simple humidifier that could fit anywhere inside of a car was one of eleven ideas that made it passed the planning stage in my product design and development course (or “IBE Workshop”). I was assigned to the Vehicle Humidifier team, working with Megan Cain as well as two other classmates, Jen Pinga and Alex Lee.

Together, we built up the product you see to your left. After several sessions on various chalkboards discussing the benefits of each design, we settled on a cup – and from there I developed a final design, name and logo, and marketing campaign for the product.

The result? Venti was the most recognizable name in the class by the end of the semester, and everybody knew our slogan and our product. The distinctive, clean art style of the product’s site, marketing and poster prevailed. So, hats off to the Venti team – great work, guys!

If you’re curious about Venti, have a look at the technical poster below. It will tell you how Venti works, more about our design and mission, and even lay out our financial model for Venti success.
