  • Patient Tracking System in collaboration with BC Children’s Hospital and GuardRFID
    2010

    During the Spring Semester of 2010, a team comprised of 3rd and 4th year ECUAD Industrial & Interaction Design students worked together with Guard RFID to design a patient tracking system for BC Children’s Hospital. The team took Guard RFID’s existing patient and asset tracking system to the next level by incorporating an information management system.

  • Materials + Production Methods II - Bicycle Light Project
    2010

    The bicycle light project was part of the Materials + Production Methods II course at Emily Carr University. The project purpose was to implement and showcase the technical aspects of industrial design using group research material and computer software (Solidworks). Design factors include: proper material choice, suitable production methods (injection molding), attention to tolerances and draft angles. Final techincal drawings were generated to be passed on to suppliers for...

  • Guard RFID x ECUAD Pediatric Tag + Band Concepts
    2010

    To provide a tamper proof pediatric tag that allows a patient to move freely throughout a protected perimeter without the fear of the patient and/or potential abductor being able to remove tag.

    Mandatory requirements:

    • Pediatric tag and attachment band need to be tamper proof, give location of patient, and restrict egress access of patient to assigned unit.

    • Allow pediatric patient the ability to move freely throughout the unit without the threat of egress breaches and...

  • Disrupting Currents: Catch + Release
    2010

    For my CO-OP placement at Emily Carr University I had the opportunity to be a research assistant for Jim Budd. The goal of Catch + Release was to design an interactive exhibition for the Gulf of Georgia Cannery that raised the importance of salmon and the ocean. The final design features sculpture, video interviews, interactive sensor technology and live ocean data from NEPTUNE Canada. I was in charge of data research, designing user interactions and translating them into...

  • The SHOOHOG
    2009

    The handheld shoe brush is often seen as a boring and lifeless household item. Many people only see them as a block of wood with bristles sticking out of it and never take a second look. To bring character and personality into such a dead and dull item I’ve chosen to incorporate features of the hedgehog into the shoe brush design. The resemblance of the bristles on a shoe brush, to the spines of a hedgehog was the start of my concept. The SHOOHOG.

  • Wave
    2009

    The Wave is an exploration into the human senses of touch, sight and sound, and how sensor technology can be benificial to sensory development in humans.  A spin off to the theremin along with qualities of orchestra conductors, we designed an instrument that is played in space using hand gestures.  Light is emitted from LED rings in relation to the change in sound thus forming a relationship between the 3 senses.

    We hope to further our research and development to create a...

  • Track Bicycle Concept
    2009

    Using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop I have rendered a track bicycle based on two form drivers.  The side profile of the frame is generated from studying elephants and their stance.  To develop its 3 dimensional form I adopted the aerodynaimc characteristics of Formula 1 race cars.
