Above are three lights that I designed through my industrial design education.
The first light listed was created from recycled spit cups from local dentists. It took 360 cups, fishing line, and a plexi glass base that allows easy bulb placement.
The other light is a collage of a bio-inspired light. This was the first product I designed at Georgia Tech. It is in the form of a box and allows the consumer to change the transparent screen depending on their mood. The more ways a customer can customize a product, more likely they will keep the product longer. This light was designed based on foliage, and how the sun interacts with the spaces around us.
The third light design featured came from my studies in Sweden at Lund University:
The Challenge: To design a light that will interact with natural day light.
The Lesson: The most important thing I learned from this project was how to solder together a basic string of lights. As this was completed abroad, the instructions were provided in Swedish challenging me to be resourceful in constructing the project.
The Result: I designed a mobile-light system that lit an infants room in the dark, and reflected the natural daylight through the prisms.
