Industrial Design & Ideation

The SUV study replaces the conventional grille with a front display for signals and messages. Window cameras, projected information, battery-status indicators, and an integrated charging interface extend the idea of a vehicle that communicates with both its occupants and the people around it.

The side and perspective views test the relationship between a large cabin, a low roofline, and a strong horizontal body. Annotations explore underbody airflow for battery cooling, rear-hinged access, and a roof-rail system for modular batteries or accessories. These features connect the exterior form to access, energy, and everyday use.

The front-view variations explore Lexus’s L-finesse design language while testing a display in the usual grille area. A rear display extends the communication idea to following drivers and pedestrians. The sketches also examine compact gullwing doors and camera coverage around the vehicle.

A more speculative cabin-stabilization idea takes inspiration from the fluid surrounding the brain. The drawing separates an inner passenger cell from an outer structure and imagines electromagnetic support between them. It is a biomimetic concept to investigate—not a demonstrated suspension or safety system.

DeskBuddy is an articulated camera concept for a desk. The sketch is organized around real packaging questions: camera dimensions, servo envelopes, link lengths, joint movement, cable routing, and the height of an alert pose.

Placing ballast, the driver board, and the power supply in the base keeps mass low to support stability. The side, front, and motion views show how the same arrangement might fold and extend. This study moves beyond appearance into the relationship between movement, reach, and component placement.

The ADAM sheet pairs a friendly humanoid form with a carrying and charging case. Front, side, and rear views establish the character, while the pose sequence explores how it could sit into the case.

The opening lid, moving inner platform, charging symbol, and phone connection screen describe an interaction sequence. The design question is not only what the robot looks like in use, but how someone stores, charges, connects to, and carries it.

This sheet compares a conservative hatchback, a modern “carriage,” and a low “skateboard” interpretation of a two-passenger electric vehicle. Cutaway side views keep the occupants visible while the outer shape changes.

The comparison explores how roof height, seating position, wheel placement, and entry affect proportions. Keeping the passenger requirement consistent makes the differences between the three layouts easier to evaluate.

These side-view renderings use highlights and dark values to describe the roofline, shoulder, wheel arches, and lower body. The repeated viewpoint makes small changes in silhouette and surface treatment easier to compare.

The emphasis here is visual communication: making volume and proportion legible before moving into detailed CAD.

The early Tech Table sketches explore layered surfaces, folding hinges, a rotating base, and motor-driven clamping. My labeled concepts compare different ways to position the table and adjust its grip, while also considering where the controller, battery, and wiring would fit.

This was a team ideation exercise; the sheet includes concepts credited to Dirk Swain and Ahmad Sidiabed. The later engineering project developed these ideas through screening, CAD, and prototyping.
