Vaporize: Product Design and Interaction

Role:Machining, Electrical work, Product Conception

Entity:Glow Workshop

Location: Flint, MI

Skills Used: 3D modeling, LED wiring, cnc machining, thermoforming, dry-ice

Designed as part of the Glow Workshop led by Cathlyn Newell the workshop took a a shop space in downtown Flint and designed projects based upon the concept of 'Glow'. I worked alongside Beatrice Lau and William Liow and created the final project you can see below. This was one of my first projects that started to toe the line of physical interaction design, looking into how objects can directly shape users connection to a space.

Atmospheric Architecture

The core concept was that the hanging pendants developed used a combination of cnc framework, thermoforming, led-lighting, and creative set-ups with dry-ice and a water pump to create objects that dramatically altered the atmosphere of the space. A step-by-step process of the work that led up the final piece is viewable in the connected images.
