Projects
I love making everything. Many of my best work comes from making things to assist others. My favorite projects work with multiple mediums, being metal, wood, plastic, electronics, software, or even fabric.
Most recently, I worked with the team at Motus Nova to conceptualize a possible design iteration of their award-winning Hand Mentor®. We successfully 3D printed a concept. Sadly, the iteration would have been cost prohibitive at current scale.
Another project that I love to talk about happens to be my senior design project from my engineering degree. This project utilized fabric and electronics to design an alternative ankle brace that is both comfortable and supportive. While this is not a personal project initially, it quickly became a personal passion project as I really cared for the possible positive changes that this product could affect on sports medicine and general medicine as a whole. I was able to use my skills in sewing fabric, a skill I first developed to explore the art of cosplay. A copy of the final presentation that was made to the University can be found here: Hyperelastic Ankle Brace
Another project that I really enjoyed creating were aluminum logo keychains for a lab I participated at in University. I utilized a method I learned off the internet to convert the lab’s logo vector artwork to G-Code so that I could repeatedly manufacture the dog tags. Pictured right:
I know that these links have become broken as Drexel University no longer hosts the server they previously existed on. I am working towards recovering and reuploading these tutorials onto this website.
