Many d e t a i l s were added in even
in the sketch models. Great amount of
details are one of the most distinct
characteristics of Shimano’s products.
Shimano’s products have minimal colors , and that was what we kept
in mind while apply brand language to our power tools.
With high quality finished products and powerful engineering of
Shimano, Precision was what we expected from our proto-
type.

STEINHART | COMPUTER MODELING
The purpose of this project is to make a 3D computer model based on an actual object, with precise dimen-sions, and to study how parts come together.I chose to make STEINHART “Nav B-Uhr 47” watch.

REMOTE ACCESS LAMP | SMOOTH BODY
The goal of this project was to design a practical lamp that solve common problems and incoporate a design language from Smooth Body car era.

Don’t you think the light switch in your room is too far away ?
Have you ever wanted the color of your room to reflect your mood ?

Smooth body is one of the best example styles from car industry in late
1990s that focused on a fast innovation and an individual design lan-
guage for each brand. The cars feature smooth design as if their form
emerged from rocks shaped by water. Overall form is integrated. Details
are carefully designed to keep the flow along the shapes. Aerodynamics
is the focus of the design.

Details are carefully add-ed with out breaking the overall form

The selected garden tool to redesign was a Shovel.
EASY DIG | USABILITY TESTINGRe

Redesigning garden tools is a challenge. They are everyday objects that have rarely been changed in decades. However, I saw this as an opportunity. No one has changed them, doesn’t mean they can’t be improved.
Common Injuries
Muscles usedTeam Project
Broken wrist Lower back pain Ligament and soft tissue injuries Bone fractures in arms Cuts
Testing and Analysis
Searching for a better gripMost of the time what we are looking for is already some-where out there. We just need to find it. We may not need to invent
the whole new system. This project is a good example. Power tools,
which are more expensive, and generally offer better grips.
Step 1 Force tool into the ground Step 2 Use the leverage of the shaft to pull up the soil
Step 3 Lift material and discard off to the side
= Pressure points
Repeated motions create back pain.
Cause strain and ligament injuries about shoulder.
Many users, especially women, use foot to help pushing.
Action = ReactionThe harder the use push the shovel into the ground, the more ground reaction force afflict upon the user.
Lifting cause back pain, but not as much as Step 2Some are caused by Wrong Position “I don’t know where to hold this thing.”
Women and seniors tend to have not enough leverage.
Users’ hands usually slide along the shaft and get cuts from splinters.
Some even lost control, and the shovel flew out of hands creating hazardous condition for user and others.
IDEA
TION
Questionaire in the test focused on Us-ers’ past Experience, Control/Weight/Length/Leverage/Grip of our shovel. We let users rate and comment all of our test models to find strength and weakness of our designs.

Prototyping based on the test result. We chose hard wood for durability and nice grain finish.
Step-on space provide area for users to push the shovel into the ground with their foot easily.
“I have never felt comfortable using a shovel this much before.”
Firm gripthat can hold in 2 different positions
Firm grip, better leverage
Easy dig
• Better Leverage• Less back pain• Less chance of ligament injuries
• No slip, no cuts• Adjustable Length
• Firm grip• Clear designate hands’ positions
