Ergonomic Height Adjustable Tables
Special Projects
Universal Table Foot: we developed and patented a foot that could fit more than one depth of work surface. We were previously manufacturing 2 different sizes. This design allowed ESI to manufacture 1 foot for several different tables and saved money and time across several departments of the company.
A table with 2 sizes without wasting any parts, this concept would allow form the client to order the same table that can convert into 2 different sizes without wasting any parts.
Creating a Product Lighting range of small task lighting, medium desk lighting and under cabinet lighting. I first used bench marking of the products on the market, by comparing aesthetics, price, and brand equity, I was able to provide a vision for our design direction that guided our design decisions.

Products designed for doTerra
This product range is similar to Grove home products in that they are designed to be refilled, creating a guaranteed reoccurring customer by offering a shipped to home subscription service for the replenishments. With that service model in mind, I designed with my team, a product range that would be sourced sustainably and meant to last several uses. We employed several manufacturing techniques, this was a hybrid product and packaging project, and I learned so much in a such a short time while creating this product line.

The Swirl is a product that lives at the intersection of form and function. During the pandemic when many were working from home, the client came to us with an idea, why should a weight be ugly? She wanted a way to stay active while working from home, while also creating a beautiful sculptural product that could be prominently displayed on a desk or book shelf.
There were many development conversations, whether to include a handle and break the loop, whether to dip the product in silicon instead of over molding it. The initial idea was to create a design with an open bottom and a plug so we could fill the weight to different degrees to allow 1 mold to serve as a 5lb or 7lb or 10lb weight.
We went through 2 or 3 rounds of 3D prints to lock in the form.
We converged on a direction, and negotiated with manufacturers to create the best technique to respect the intention of the product. The Swirl is a silicon skin over-molded onto an iron cast modius loop.
