The Vice Box
Casegood
<bold>The Vice Box</bold> transcends ordinary storage solutions with its unique blend of quality materials and historic influences. Inspired by the Streamline Art Deco and English Club furniture periods, this functional vice-holding cabinet boasts monumental figures and classic materials meticulously crafted to create rounded shapes with strong vertical and horizontal lines.
Designed with attention to detail, the Vice Box features a top at standard bar height, a bottle stage for easy access to your favorite spirits, glass storage for elegant display, and cedar tobacco drawers for added convenience. Its thoughtful design and distinct historic influence earned it the prestigious title of <bold>“Best of Category Winner”</bold> for student occasional storage in the Fall 2022 ISFD Innovation+Design Competition.
The original prototype was produced in alder with the base finished with graphite in thinned shellac, the top cabinet piece wrapped inside and out in fine leather, and the small inner drawers constructed of Spanish cedar and left unfinished.
More than just a cabinet, the Vice Box is a specialty piece of artistic and innovative design that adds a touch of ceremony to any space. Elevate your storage game with the Vice Box and experience the perfect fusion of functionality and timeless aesthetics.

Seating
<bold>The 9 Piece Low-Back Cafe Chair </bold> is a sleek and modern seating option that combines commercial and industrial design influences for extreme manufacturability. Made of two acrylic pieces and seven stainless steel components, this chair is constructed with precision using exciting fabrication and assembly techniques. Pop rivets, stainless bolts, plastic washers, and rubber-bottomed feet are used for easy assembly. With options for custom powder coating of the frame and different colors of acrylic, this chair can be tailored to fit various design preferences. Its durability, low maintenance requirements, and mass reproducibility make it suitable for both residential and commercial use.
This chair was recognized as a student <bold>seating finalist</bold> in the 2023 ISFD Innovation+Design competition.

PUSH
Lighting
<bold>PUSH</bold> uses quality materials coupled with attention to detail and craftsmanship to broadly represent the design elements of point, line, and plane.
Clear planes, light diffusing rods, and poured bubbles were all observed in research into these elements and carried into the material choices for PUSH, filling the opportunity to be conceptual in its focus on these elements while still being a useful table lamp.
PUSH had the honor of being selected as the <bold>"Best of Category Winner"</bold> for student lighting in the Fall 2022 ISFD Innovation+Design Competition.

Verellen
Manufacturing Engineering
Products pictured represent a selection of pieces developed and produced by Verellen to which I contribute across both design development and manufacturing engineering through:
* Translating design intent into production-ready solutions from prototype through final manufacturing
* Developing build packets to guide each piece from component fabrication through frame assembly, upholstery, and finishing
* Designing plywood frame structures for CNC manufacturing, balancing form, function, and production efficiency
* Creating accurate 2D drawings for client approval, internal development, and marketing use
* Producing product information sheets and bills of materials (BOMs) to support communication across teams
* Providing cut sheets and production plots to enable efficient and consistent fabrication
* Planning and optimizing material usage in alignment with both design requirements and production needs
* Identifying and resolving production challenges while maintaining the integrity of the original design intent
along with additional contributions supporting product development, refinement, and production.

Live-Edge Carport Counter
Custom Fabrication & Installation
Design, fabrication, and installation of a nineteen-foot hanging bar counter for Lily's Snack Bar. Two sequentially cut black walnut slabs joined with a locked scarf joint form the two-inch-thick top. Iron L-brackets wall-mount the piece; steel cables tensioned through the slabs to angle iron above ensure structural support for heavy patron use. Finished in multiple layers of TotalBoat two-part epoxy and gleam varnish for weather protection.
