Reflecting upon my project, I am mostly pleased with what I did, considering the re-design and also the poor timing with senior design. I definitely wanted to make something I would proudly put in my room. As I had mentioned in my presentation to my pod, I have a strong tie to furniture/furnishings I put…

Main Project Design Review Report 2017, Student Work, zy 2017

For my main project, I have decided to make a customizable bedside lamp that also doubles as storage for small items you would normally keep by your bed, such as jewelry or glasses, etc. The inspiration behind this project came from (again) my love of furniture. I originally wanted to make a customizable shelving unit…

Main Project Inspirations 2017, Student Work, zy 2017

When I began brainstorming ideas for the main project, the dynamic requirement had me stuck. My immediate thought was that I would have to integrate some sort of motor or complex mechanism that would make my project dynamic. So I googled the definition, which brought me to the following: “characterized by constant change, activity, or…

Skill Sets and Personal Aspirations 2017, Student Work, zy 2017

Being both in the ME program as well as the TAM program here at CU, I have acquired a very strange combination of skills ranging from technical/analytical skills associated with engineering to skills in the arts with TAM. In the very beginning of this class, we were asked what we would identify as. Despite having…

I think my engineering mentality has led me to believe that the best way to start something is to think linearly. But things never ever end up the way I planned it, so I really should learn from my mistakes. Nevertheless, I started this Upcycle project with a linear design process. From choosing materials, to…

For the Upcycle project, I have decided to utilize the empty glass bottles and produce bags I have lying around my apartment. My idea is to make hanging planters to house my air plants so they can be hung from the ceiling by the window and get plenty of sunlight. I was inspired by current designs…

I recently took an ATLAS course where we were tasked to write a Design Manifesto as our final paper. At first, I thought it would be easy to pin down my aesthetic; however, it proved to be more difficult than that. So, I began with a man named Dieter Rams. Dieter Rams is famous for his…
