Vision Statement
reciprocating saws were created for demolishion. they are also designed to look rugged for construction. what about the rest of the people who want to do things around the house? they need a saw which is elegant in styling while boasting an array of safety features to improve confidence
power tools don’t need to be manly...
Inspirationsimages of inspiration were used to create the form and
feel of the product. smooth transitions and crisp color transitions were to be used
Jon Nguyen ngudesigns@icloud.com 408•205•4634 4
Feature Ideationfeatures that would make a safer working environment for the user was very important so different ways to create confidence by safety features were designed and sketched
Jon Nguyen ngudesigns@icloud.com 408•205•4634
Form Ideationforms were then explored to create the
transformation from a utilitarian product into a more friendly and approachable form
6
Mock Upsfoam mockups were done to explore form, ergonomics and handling.

InspirationsI looked to nature as a source of inspiration in my design of The Levels line of chairs. The natural beauty of a flock
of seagulls in flight frozen in time intrigues me and had lead me through my design process

Ideationsketching was used to explore possible opportunities for the metal chair

Physical Modelthe physical model was costructed from mild steel and was finished
in a forced patina to accentuate the steel’s physical properties

SHARKIE
Problem Statementto create a fun and innovative business card holder within four
hours using Solidworks and hand sketching. Sharkie is conversation desk piece that will attract people to your business card

HOT!
Problem Statementto redesign a standard 5 quart saucepan handle creating a comfortable, ergonomic and visually appealing product
HOT!
Initial Testinginitial testing was completes by both a male and female member of the
team. each member peformed a series of tasks typically found during the use of a sauce pan. findings were then noted for redesign opportunities.
our initial findings included:• the handle was uncomfortable to hold as the
saucepan got heavier
• male tester could not get a good grip on the
handle (too small and narrow)
• female tester had to use two hands at one
point while filling the saucepan with water
• pouring of water from saucepan put strain on
the wrists

Brainstorminga series of brainstorming sessions led to 2 days of
sketching. from this process, we extracted the best ideas that we wanted to move forward with to create
mock ups for further testing

The Problemunderstanding and observing the issues related to the Caltrain system required empathic research
Ideationsketches were used to explore solutions and
early concepts for space and convenience

User Interface
redesigned button logos
to aid in convenience, touch screen monitors and large easily distinguishable icons were designed. the process has also been streamlined

Problem Statementit’s hard teaching an old dog new tricks. This is especially true for fisherman. big game fishermen are known for fishing rough waters days on end just for the thrill of the catch. the dangers of the ocean are often ignored as shown by the many fisherman that don’t wear life vest. the product i have designed will compliment a fisherman’s experience while allowing a way of rescue in the unfortunate event a fisherman falls overboard
Jon Nguyen ngudesigns@icloud.com 408•205•4634 122
Ideationmost fishermen do not fish with a life vest and since drowning among fishermen is a fairly large occurrence, i looked at different routes to get a p.f.d. to a drowning victim. i found, through shadowing and empathic research, that if a victim fell off, it is very difficult to turn back around. i ended up with a floatation device that could be thrown or casted out to a victim.
