My current approach to product and industrial design is to offer up my functional and figurative viewpoint. Typically working in close tandem with requirements for size, pricing, production, usage, or shipping, I absorb as much as I can about the need for this product and who’s going to be using it, and how.  I research niche industry players, established designs in the marketplace and the competition.

Then, we start designing and prototyping to bring ideas to life.

CASE STUDY 1

QuietTown Home

Acadia  S-Hooks

Released to Market Q4 2016

Created because they were tired of buying things they didn’t love, the Brooklyn based co-founders of QuietTown Home hired me to help them design modern, functional beautiful shower curtain hooks. I also researched the production options and eventually sourced their manufacturer, and old-school U.S. based wire bender.
