Industrial Design

Introduction

During my time at Design & Architecture Senior High (DASH), I studied Industrial and Transportation Design, developing a strong foundation in conceptualization, designing prototypes, and innovative problem solution. These courses inspired my ambition to create designs that perfectly mix practicality and aesthetic appeal. Since then, I've used my expertise to a variety of tasks, always seeking to provide solutions that exceed expectations. My time at DASH not only provided me with technical skills, but also instilled in me an in-depth appreciation for design's transformative power in shaping user experiences and advancing company goals.

CCS College for Creative Studies Work (Shoe Designs)

CCS Sneaker Design Competition. The purpose was create an elegant sneaker attire that had style and use for running activities. The colors choices were inspired from my betta fish and I made scale like texture of folds on the sides of the shoe. I won the competition and received a free 4-week internship at CCS (College for Creative Studies).

CCS Sneaker Internship Final Render and Board of Rafael Nadal's Tennis Shoe Design. This is the final product of the sneaker design I had to do for the internship. The main focus was on the sport of tennis and the persona which I chose was Rafael Nadal whose preferred shoes are made from Nike. For four weeks I studied both subjects from their backstories to their connection and likeness.
