You are reading Part 4 of this Imposing Model Project. Feel free to start at the beginning, or see the previous part here. Now that I had an adjective, a noun, and a handful of rough hand sketches, it was time for me to start working through some concepts in 3D, so I started up [...]
This post is Part 3 of this Imposing Model Project. Feel free to start at the beginning, or see the last part here. Once we had sufficiently fleshed out the form based only on our adjective, it was time to be given the noun, the actual object we would be designing. For this project, we [...]
This post is Part 2 of this Imposing Model Project. Feel free to start at the beginning, or see the next part here. Once I had selected the adjective “imposing,” I had to start exploring the word with both 2D and 3D sketches. I went about this with three different techniques: hand sketches, CAD sketches, [...]

We were asked to think about adjectives without an associated noun. That is, “fast” rather than “a fast car” or [...]
The first project given in my Industrial Design Form class at MassArt this Spring was an exploration of material interactions. The aim was to envision a block of one material impacting a small card of a second material. The materials were left for me to choose, as well as the nature of the impact between [...]
