Physical Design

Design Student @ Stanford University

2021-2023

I was a teaching assistant for the Product Realization Lab at Stanford University, where I helped hundreds of students each year realize their ideas. I also design physical and electronic products. My design approach is ever evolving - this is a short sample of the types of products I’ve worked on.

The Stack

A polyrhythmic beat machine. Create beats with a turn of a dial. Inspired by my interest in house music.

The Retro Nixie

A retro inspired Soviet era Nixie Tube Clock. I’m currently working on a new iteration (includes a custom PCB) with my friend Rony Ballouz. table table table table table

Sculptures

The Cube

What if we made a giant cube? With 12 planks of wood, two friends (Harrison and Eli) and I set out to make a giant 7’ x 7’ cube. A spur of the moment activity, play for play’s sake. It has now become an interactive, iterative, co-creative icon of the Loft community. table table

Between

I love working with wood. Between is a light sculpture made of local Californian redwood. Often lamps have a diffuser, allowing light to radiate outwards evenly. What if the empty space in-between was emphasized? The concept came after some journeys in steambending wood. Early concept was done in collaboration with Katie Han.
