I’m Becky, I’m an Industrial Designer from the Bay Area. I enjoy creating practical solutions using playful innovations.

HI GUYS!


A color changing shoe that leverages technology to encourage kids to be healthy and active though multiple levels of engagement.

LUMINA

Inspired by summers spent as a camp counselor I observed a huge change between my childhood and the children of today. I would constantly confiscating technology from the children. They were too distracted by their technologies to notice and enjoy their surroundings. It got me thinking, how could I create sort of product that encourages kids to get out and play while fitting into their day to day routine?

Square toe allows for kids feet to breath and grow undisturbed

Flexible sole allows for growing toes to grip surfaces

Shoe laces allow for adjustability and the best fit to the foot

DETAILS

Based of the 60 minutes of activity children are supposed to partake in a day. Lumina changes color for every 30 minutes of activity allowing for the user to see at least one color change per day.

LEVEL 1: UNDER 30 MINUTES OF ACTIVITY


LEVEL 2: 30-6O MINUTES OF ACTIVITY

LEVEL 2: OVER 60 MINUTES OF ACTIVE PLAY

HOW IT WORKS


SYTHETIC LEATHER UPPER

USB POWERING DEVICE the devices store energy produced by the power felt and communicate wirelessly with each other to release programmed color changes. After 4 hours of non-activity the device automatically syncs with the computer to update the child’s statistics for the day and resets the accelerometer and color.

POWER FELT-a fabric like material created out of tiny carbon nanotubes locked in flexible plastic fibers- creates an electric charge from changes in tem-perature like torching the sole of your foot- power felt would be used to charge the battery in the usb device

Users don’t always understand where a product comes from, but are always quick to criticize elements of a product they dislike. Peel is a lamp that allows the user to become more involved in the design process, creating a closer relationship between designer and user.

A solar seating station that allows for a physical, mental & electronic recharge in the hustle and bustle of city life. Arbor takes on the existence of isolation in an urban setting.

ARBORA group project sponsored by the City of San Jose, under Leslie Speer & John McClusky. Group members include Joseph Sanchez, Bryan Day, Maria Lopez, Bryan De Leon, and Vince Pascual. The project was featured as part of the San Jose Green Vision Clean Energy Showcase and Sustainability 3.0 at San Jose State University.

THE JOURNEY OF ARBOR1 Arbor started out as a class assignment sponsored by the

City of San Jose as well as a local solar company. The original concept of Arbor was that of my classmate Joseph Sanchez. Pictured is his scale model.

After being chosen by the San Jose Public Art Committee, Joe organized a team of his peers to bring develop the concept of Arbor. As part of the team I helped to bring Arbor to life.

As part of a team we quickly developed mock-ups and sketches reflecting ideas we had to refine Joe’s concept.

A full scale model was created to help the team gain a better understanding of scale. It brought Arbor into the tangible world.

A prototype was built by Stoller Studios of San Jose with help from the team. Once completed the prototype was installed in Downtown San Jose as part of the San Jose Green Vision Clean Energy Showcase

“Arbor is a multi-level seating system inspired by observations of nature, technology and urban living. Because of its modularity Arbor can be placed anywhere in the city from the heart of downtown to the edge of suburban areas.”

A series of nesting benches stored within a table. Matryoshka is versatile as it takes up little space as a table but can expand to entertain and seat guests.

MATRYOSHKA


Thinking of the idea of play I drew inspiration from Russian nesting dolls. Sketch ideation focussed on how the pieces would fit together and details like joinery . Mock-ups were crucial in the development process ruling out concepts by exploring what could realistically be made.

An easy to store stackable food steamer designed to promote healthy eating. It cuts down on prep and clean up by allowing food to be taken directly from the steamer to the table without any extra dishes.

ENTRAP


Traditional Bamboo Steamers are hard to clean, hard to store, and will only fit in certain pots; i.e. the wok, which isn’t a commonly found in American kitchens.

Steamer pot sets are inconvenient because the steamer can only be used with the accompanying pot, their size also poses a storage issue.

Electric steamers are very large even when in they are in storage mode. They are wasteful because individual parts cannot be replaced if lost or broken

Adjustable “blooming” steamers sit upon the bottom of the pot. The lid of the pot collects condensation from the steam which drips down back into the food making it soggy.

Steamer and stock pot are taken out. Food is prepared and placed into/onto steaming chamber or tray.

ENJOY!

Chambers and trays are assembled. Components are stacked and stock pot is filled with water. The steamer is placed over stock pot. Heat is applied. Cook time varies according to recipe.

Once food is cooked, steamer is disassembled. The upper tray and chamber are removed from the lower, the lower chamber and tray are flipped over.

The chambers are removed and the trays are then taken to the table to serve food.

The steamed food is then eaten and enjoyed off of the trays. After meal, the steamer components (sans bamboo; which must be hand washed) can be placed in the dishwasher to clean. Clean steamer is put away.

The entrap steamer uses a moist-heat technique of cooking which means that food is cooked using heated water. It is the same technique that is used in bamboo steamers.

Water is placed in a pre-existing stock pot or similar style pot, food is prepared outside of the steamer, then moved into the steamer. The steamer is placed on top of the stock pot and heat is applied until the water reaches 212°F and turns to steam.

The steam travels through the compartments of the steamer and cooks the food; cooking time varies depending on individual recipes.

The entrap replaces the need for a pot lid when steaming food. It simply sits upon the lip of the pot and traps the steam.

Meet Rebecca, She rides for commuting to work as well as athletic and recreation reasons. She is a white collar professional living in the Silicon Valley making more than 100K a year. She is a wife to her husband Tom and mother to three grown children. She is 47 years old.

Rebecca wants to maintain an active lifestyle while preserving her professional means of living.


WHAT DO WE CARRY?

HOW DO WE CARRY?

AESTHETIC INSPIRATIONLooking at eco-friendly brands like Simple and Keen I began to consider materials and aesthetics that would compliment Globe Bikes.

The first step in brainstorming was to list off what people carry when they are on a bike.

Secondly I brainstormed how people carry their things on the bike.

By doing so I was able to generate ideas that fit the needs of our users.


IDEATION +EXPLORINGFORM

Mock-ups where made to work out details concerning stitching, storage, the hanging mechanism and integrated bungees.

Using rapid ideation, I generated a large amount of ideas that I could finesse and conceptually develop. The final five concepts revolved around ideas such as user interaction, maintaining the Globe look and addressing my demographic.

This project focused on prototyping so the sketch and development process was relatively slow. The greatest information was gathered during the model making process. Bending wood proved to be a challenging task, but overall I was successful in achieving the convex surfaces I wanted.
