EDUCATION
2007 - 2011 Columbia College Chicago _Bachelor Fine Art Product Design
Columbia College Chicago cultivated my creativity broadening my methods to design. My product design curricu-lum examined consumer culture, innovative problem solving, and design theory. Throughout my rigorous four year program I developed skills in research, sketching, rendering, computer modeling, fabricating, and presentation. These are the tools I use to visualize, develop, and communicate design concepts to ultimately produce a innovative and elegant solution. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a collection of designs comprised of furniture, exhibition, urban cycling, and social solutions.
JOB EXPERIENCE
Aug 2010 - Sept 2011 Alessi Chicago Showroom _Sales Associate
At Alessi I consistently had the highest sales and counseled clients with design decisions. Educating customers on designers, design process, and manufacturing process was one of my highest priorities. Other responsibilities I held was to act as a link between customers in America with the headquarters in Italy, create design displays, answer e-mail, contact clients, plan events, create strategies to increase sales, public relation, IT solutions, and create positive environment for customers.
June 2010 - Aug 2010 Nimlok / P3 Group _Exhibition Design Internship _Freelance Product Designer
My responsibilities were to understand how Nimlok, and the P3 Group’s corporations created exhibitions from modu-lar units and how clients adopted these systems. During my internship I developed skills very quickly, such as work flow, to meet deadlines and communicate ideas to this very fast pace organization. In the freelance phase I worked with the companies Nimlok, Orbus 360, and SignPro Systems to create brand new product through research, sketch-ing concepts, and creating renderings. I gave two very successful presentations during the middle and at the end of my contract to the board members.

DESIGN BRIEF RESEARCH
The P3 Group’s companies use mod-ular systems to create exhibitions for a wide range of industries. They need to develop products that work with these systems they have perfect-ed for over 30 years. The company seeks to utilize current applications in different ways. They want to bring fresh ideas into a changing industry. The companies decided they want to utilize customization, kits, and modu-lar systems.

RESEARCH
Exhibitions rented or owned usually are made out of extrusions. These metal forms most often have electoral; compo-nents inside
Modern society has become increasingly more dependent on elec-tronic devices
Extrusions used to build large
structures, gain modifications for
electrical hardware.People who travel use any oppor-tunity to charge electronic devices, usually lap tops and cell phones.
Exhibitions need electricity to power lighting, monitors, computers, and machines.

MULTI-USE
Cell phones are not the only device that needs recharging. The ReVault also comes in a larger size suited to fit laptops and multiple devices all at the same time. The ReVault systems can also run videos or programs from a digital device to a video monitor. Audio / video cables can connect lap-tops or even a smart phone to monitors by simply running cables through the extrusions. Smart devices allows the exhibitioner to have total control of what is being played on the screen and the freedom of knowing that the electronic devices don’t need to be watched over for theft in a open public environment.

CB2 - Create&Barrel’s ‘punkier’ brand is suffering from the eco-nomic situation and the housing downturn. They need to develop a distinct look for a range of products that can be sold in the traditional manner (via the store) as well as online. The com-pany seeks an entire line of product backed by the necessary research demonstrating needs and addressing emerging trends. One specific niche they are interested in pursuing is a product that is modular, expandable, and customizable. The company has done some research and determined that the desire of the market segment they are targeting at CB2 wants affordable, flex-ible products for a mobile and dynamic lifestyle. The company has decided to develop a range of products to address the issue and wants the designers to develop ideas that allow the end-user to create their own system out of an ever expanding kit-of-parts. In order to make it cost effective and shippable (this is one of the primary distribution channels they are interested in leveraging) the products need to be lightweight but durable. They want a range of products that combines the best of laminated plywood and bent plywood along with metal fasteners/connec-tors, and sheet metal that can be rolled, bunched, or bent using standard fabrications processes. The other thing they want is a new web site and brand identity for the system that would go up on a special web site devoted for the new product launch - this web site would not only demonstrate how the product works but would also show the design process for developing the new product line. They feel this would be a great way to stress the de-signerly qualities of the product and connect with their end-user.

BUILDING THE CHAIR
The first step to develop this chair was to create a mold. We used a CNC to cut out the skeleton of the buck.
Then, using the mold we formed plywood by using a vacuum bag. The chair is two pieces that are the same shape.

Bicycle frames and handlebars have be-come the best way to hold bags in place while riding. This keeps items away from your body to prevent getting tangled. An item attached to the bike can benefit the riding experience, offering space to install lights, reflectors, or flare.

SHOE WRAP
CONCEPT
The first step is to nest the shoes together by inserting the tips of the shoes into the heels. Then set the nested shoes evenly on the elastic bands.
Next, roll the fabric body around the shoes so that the velcro pieces touch. Once the shoes are wrapped all the way to the metal frame, then snap the top flap to the bottom.

MOBILE MARKET
The StoryFinding a healthy option for food within the Columbia college campus, located in the heart of South Loop, is nearly impossible! We are surrounded by mostly nonresidential offices with plenty of fast food joints and 7 Elevens. Gro-cery stores don’t make a big enough profit to ex-ist in our neighborhood. The worst part is that many Chicago neighborhoods made up mostly of families suffer from the same problem. They have no local supermarket to get quality and nu-tritious food. This is known as a “Food Desert“. A “food desert” is a neighborhood without any
local supermarkets that offer healthy foods. However, this doesn’t mean there isn’t any food in the whole neighborhood, usually many fast food restaurants and convenience stores flourish in these neighborhoods. These are store that serve food with almost no nutritional value, called “fringe” stores.

INDIVIDUAL OBSTACLES
Supermarkets bail out of low in-come neighborhoods because they are not earning enough profit. It is easier for corporate markets to just move to a more profitable neighborhood.
Markets that just bail out of neigh-borhoods has left half the popula-tion of Chicago with out a grocer to buy healthy foods.
• The elderly find it physically difficult to get to the market
• Poor public transportation make it difficult for residents to get the nearest market
• Customers lack the funds to buy groceries
• They lack the education needed to make the right choices in food and preparing healthy foods
