Urban Farm Cart

Junior project. We had to come up with mobile cart design for urban farmers, which will help the farmer from harvesting to growing to selling. We tried to make it as light as possible. The lids can be used as shelf or even a stool. You can store your canape and other stuff in the bottom compartment.

This picture is an action shot of the cart when it is ready for selling. We used regular milk crates and add special hooks to them that we have designed.

In this project I worked with Chris Mufalli, Adam Rusiski and Tim Peet

Cardboard Palm Tree

I did this project back in 2005. It is made out off cardboard. The idea behind this was to build a sculpture in a pubic area in Temple University. The area that choose, which was in front of Anderson Hall, reminded me of a beach, that is why I decided to make a Palm Tree. It took 4 months to make it. It is 6′ tall. Put together with glue, screws.

Onart Design Flatware

Acrylic Flatware

Flatware design for my 3d class. I started with making my design in Adobe Illustrator. My goal was to get as many pieces as possible from one sheet and also has a beautiful design. I also did some renderings using Rhinoceros 4 Wenatchee to see my design in real life. After I finalized my design and send my it to Ponoko and they cut it and send it to me. I choose to use white acrylic. It is basically like puzzle pieces.

Just in time to the class.

Another school project that we have to make a video of our daily life and put it in a one minute video. This video shows how I go to school everyday but this time I am in a hurry because I woke up 28 minutes before class.

(By that time my right hand was broken. I had to do everything with my left hand.)

How to sketch a car

This is what I did for my instructables at www.instructables.com

This video shows how to sketch a car in the right perspective.

Basket Bench

It is made out of aluminum sheets. Every sheet is 1″ wide. There were 3 different sized molds for the curved parts. The curved ones are connected to each other with another piece attached to the tip of them by a ribbet gun. I sanded all the parts before I put them together to give nice texture.  Sanding the parts helped it more look like steal.  I woven the top with same sized sheets and by this the model became solid.

Felt stool

This stool is made out of 8 layers of industrial gray felt and 2 layers of veneer. We put together the felts by using epoxy resin. The curves at the bottom helped us to give it more structurally strength.

Our main goal was to give this stool multiple purpose use. This model can be used as a table and a book shelf.

Keep on grass

This was my sophomore ritual and routine project at University of Arts.  The idea behind this was to change something that people do everyday and my group decided to focus on how people sit in the parks. Our goal was to create a relaxation area. We tried to put this in our design by elevating the grass from the ground.

When we started this project, we did a research on how people are sitting in the parks. When we put this mini park in an environment, we saw that every other person sat differently and that was what we were looking for.
