Originally from Stamford, Connecticut, I am a passionate maker, designer, and engineer interested in human centered product design. Design methodology and collective intelligence interest me as well and I enjoy collaborating with others to create new things. When I'm not making things with my 3D printer or working on my Graphic Tee-Shirt Design company, I enjoy exploring the outdoors. Rock climbing, Skiing, Biking, Running, Backpacking, Metal detecting, and soccer which are just a few things I love to do.

For my final project I have pretty much settled on the form of the chair. As the featured image shows, I will be going with a Robert Van Embricqs style folding chair. I think its a very unique and interesting design as a chair, but what really does it for me it the fact that…

My Personal Aesthetic: Many Influences

March 11, 2021
Joshua Greenburg
Post 6: My Personal Aesthetic 2021
2 Comments
My aesthetic takes influence from many different aspects. Sports wise, I love English soccer and so I like a lot of British things (which effects my vocabulary), but I’m also into adventure sports like hiking, climbing, and skiing, so I feel like I tend to be into the outdoors and appreciative of nature (and being…

The Lamp is coming along very well! Following the initial sketches I made, I went ahead and took measurements of the board and my lamp frame to get a better sense of how the slats would be made. From here I made a template of one of the slats with a slight curve. I feel…

Skateboard Grunge to Mid-Century Modern

February 2, 2021
Joshua Greenburg
Post 2: Upcycle Aesthetic
5 Comments
My materials I am looking to upcycle are my old skateboard, and a lamp frame. This was the first skateboard I ever got (from 2007) and it definitely shows its character. Aside from the graffiti-like design, it features scratches, dirt, and weathering which all contribute to its grunge street skate aesthetic. The lamp frame was…

Joshua Greenburg
Post 1: Aesthetics Explorations 2021
4 Comments
The subway system aesthetic is one built around service to the masses but also defined by the people who use it.
