I have the unfortunate situation of having both a Blackberry (work) and an iPhone (personal). Overwhelmed with the oppressiveness of the situation and the reality that many people design gorgeous cases for the iPhone, I set out to create a set of Blackberry cases.

An indoor skateboard, purpleD is soft leather hand stretched around a traditional shortboard. It’s perfect for riding around the inside of your house with bare feet.

Le Creamsicle is constructed out of Plyboo and hand-painted with Gouache. I love the shape and especially enjoy this board as an accessory. Ride-wise, it takes some practice.

This is a prototype I built to test a concept I’m working on that challenges people notions of personal information. The card swipe strikes a bell that is reminiscent of manual cash registers. This was unplanned but an interesting plus … Visceral Credit Card Reader
Data data everywhere! We’re often presented with visualizations that highlight data that the graph author wants us to see. In this project, I explore data presentation through the construction of a user-driven controller. Rotate the controller in space and copper BBs connect various circuits. The user and randomness vie for control. Quasi-random, user-driven, data presentation … BB Controller

It allows you to take advantage of the time that you do have – in between classes and work, and count and accumulate the steps you take towards a personal goal, competitive goal, or a good cause. This is a … Walkabout
The first Gesture Board, sfz, is made of plyboo. It is cut and sanded with scroll saw and hand sander. I love the flex in this board. The graphic is a Monotype print of hand-drawn designs, done with oil paint.
