The goals of this project were to research ways we can reduce plastic waste within the jewelry industry and to implement the findings to a specific jewelry company, Kendra Scott. The new design reduces the amount of plastic being used, reduces the amount of time employees spend on getting product from the back of house to the customer, and creates a more efficient system for its employees. 

Applied design thinking to improve patient diagnostic experience in order to increase accrual rates in clinical trials. Interviewed patients, defined the problem for the user, brainstormed solutions, prototyped ideas, and presented weekly to the Patient Advisory Group to test those ideas.

Designed and fabricated a custom conference table made from six different species of wood from the Campus Woods, a program that finds uses for trees removed from the University’s campus.

Each student in the studio forecasted the future of air travel, centering around accessibility, sustainability, comfort, and technological possibilities. We then designed a website and an exhibit that showcased each project.

Created a tile module that engages topographical form and expresses the relationship of part-to-whole when repeated. The phases of this project includes 2-dimensional drawings, folded paper, foam models, 3D printing, and creating molds for the final cast plaster tile.
