DOMINO SPIEL is a quick puzzle that educates business professionals of BMW’s core brand values. Three aspects of each brand value make up one set. The point is to join the related images on the pieces to complete the set and discuss their relationship.

SATELLITE Standing workstation for laptop use within a shared
office environment
SATELLITE offers a power solution for portable devices through sockets positioned behind an adjustable work surface. When inclined the work surface elevates the laptop display for an improved posture.
OPPORTUNITY
Today’s mobile workers work in shared office spaces where power management solutions are unappealing or require additional systems to setup. SATELLITE standing desks combine an aluminum frame with custom laminate panels to create distinct appearances for contemporary office spaces. SSATELLITE is lightweight and easy to setup. It can be moved to supplement the office as an independent or benched unit. U

HOCUS Brand Identity and Logo

FLUID
FLUID was designed for young and old car campers who enjoy cooking meals.
TTraditional liquid fuel stoves are difficult to assemble and have awkward manual fuel pumps.
FluidFluid is an integrated solution that offers a far superior pumping system.
Liquid Fuel Stove
The use cycle of a liquid fuel stove was broken down into a scenario that identified a persona and a framework for a new product. The recreational car camper in the scenario is seen struggling with her stove.
The Coleman Stove was the reference product used to address the problems with liquid fuel stoves. Foam models were used to visualize the solution.
USE SCENARIO + TESTING
Fluid provides a prominent pump with an enlarged handle that can be used by individuals with or without gripping limitations. A handle that is easier to hold encourages its use and reduces the physical efforts required to pump the fuel tank. The orientation of the pump was also considered and designed to improved the individual’s performance when in use.

ILLUMINA is a memorial night-light for parents who have lost a child. The night-light is seen through a display that features an engraved DNA portrait of the child. The strands of hair that were used to create the personalized portrait are also embedded into the display to preserve a part of the child close to home. Parents fall asleep with ILLUMINA as it emits a soft pulsating glow.
