Developer and Product Designer
1. DooBeDoo: Child Task Manager Tangible Interface
Product Design | Child-Computer Interaction | Jan 2025
Core Concept
Interactive cube helping children (4-10) track after-school tasks through physical tokens. Parents and kids jointly select 4 daily tasks represented by magnetic badges.
Key Features
- Coin-slot mechanism provides tactile feedback (LED turns green)
- Earned "time points" displayed via top-mounted timer
- Customizable task badges (homework, teeth brushing, etc.)
Development Process
- Designed bee mascot logo (symbolizing diligence)
- Prototyped wooden cube structure with:
- 4 task faces
- Token insertion slots
- LED feedback system
- Created playful brand identity with "Hoss Round" font
Output: Functional physical prototype
2. Camera Obscura: Holographic Display Interactive Installation
Experience Design | Digital Fabrication | Jan 2025
Technical Implementation
- 32×32 LED matrix projects animations
- 45° plexiglass creates Pepper's Ghost illusion
- Cardboard enclosure houses electronics
Prototyping
- Initial cardboard tests for optical alignment
- Final version combines:
- LED animations
- Physical object integration
- Hologram-like projections
Inspiration
2001: A Space Odyssey's visual effects
3. Sony TC-150 Tape Player Vintage Redesign
Product Redesign | Hybrid Fabrication | Dec 2024
Design Approach
Faithful recreation of 1970s portable recorder
Modernized with:
- Laser-cut wooden casing
- Functional buttons (play, skip, volume)
- Tape compartment door mechanism
Key Components
- Spring-loaded lever system
- Multi-layer laser-cut construction
- Magnetic closure system
Process
- Paper sketching → Cardboard prototype → Fusion 360 model
- Solved mechanical challenges (lever mechanism, volume control)
