Eurus
Solo Project
Eurus is a line of air control products made to fit in better with furniture. The idea for the project is based around reduction, both visually and functionally. It is designed as a modular system that can be selectively assembled by the user. The ultimate goal of the project is to create a set of products with a visual identity that can fit in with home furniture. To achieve this goal, I learned a great deal about working under a cohesive visual language. I also developed my CAD and rendering skills.
Polestar Ändra
Solo Project
Polestar Ändra is an autonomous vehicle concept based around an adaptive chassis. The design is fits into the brand language Polestar, an electric car manufacturer. The image shown here is of the 64, an example of what could be done with the autonomous drivetrain. It is a cargo vehicle that can operate without a driver and serves as just one of many possible uses of the chassis. The 54 (which can be found in my portfolio) is another example I developed; and it is an AI racing competitor inspired by the Roborace racing series. I learnt a lot about surfacing and automotive proportions through this project.
Kuno
Class: ID 2023 | Instructor: Kimberly Snyder
Kuno is a dinnerware set I designed for my studio class. The design prompt was to design a set taking inspiration from a culture, so I chose to use Nigeria (where I was born and raised) as a starting point. In Nigeria we have a type of food known as swallow food that is traditionally eaten with our bare hands. Following the colonial occupation of the country, a lot of that tradition has been lost. And to this day I have never seen a dinnerware set made specifically for eating traditional Nigerian foods, so I decided to design one. The form takes a lot of inspiration from iconic Nigerian art, and the overall design is optimized to make enjoying swallow foods easier.
