As an industrial design student I push myself to think differently about design and the user experience.
“Will did 213 pages of Daily Sketching Practice (DSP). So this is all the work that he put. The work it looked decent level, decent quality of the DSP exercise but, Over 200 pages. That’s why his sketches improved a lot.” - Prof. WonJoon Chung
JoAnne is a mono-material watering can with a sleek, compact, and streamlined design. It's easy-to-fill and easy-to-use features are complemented by an ergonomic design for comfort.
Margaret is a multi-material ULU style cutting tool, she seeks to improve the ergonomics and style of this elegant traditional tool.
The Leaf & Sip is a new innovative bottle design. After you’ve finished the bottle, it cleverly converts into a a vase and drinking glass. It semantically resembles two agave leaves superimposed onto each other, providing an affordance to grab onto as a handle.
The WayPark Parking Meter, it’s a new parking meter designed to be easy to find in the dark with a glowing body, and easy to use because of the cleverly placed buttons and large waypoint inspired design.
I previously mentioned I completed 213 pages of drawing practice during the first semester of my second year. The goal for the class was for each student to complete 100 total pages. I was completing more than 10 a week every week practicing for hours every day to gain confidence in this new developing skill. These photos showcase the growth in accuracy, line quality and overall shape of these basic shapes.
This rapid sketch was an idea for a lamp that utilized sound design as its main feature. The Holy Lamp when turned on would make an angelic sound and the halo like ring light on top would illuminate accordingly.
This is a hook that was sketched up for a group project. I created this hook to be small, strong, and stylish. We didn’t have enough of a budget to buy metal hooks, so I improvised and modeled these hooks and 3D printed them.
These are a collection of exploratory sketches that were done for my second year studio class. These showcase my progress learning to draw throughout the first semester.
While at Greenwich Country Day School, I created a portfolio that was submitted with my applications to Industrial Design schools. This early work illustrates how I approached design and my processes before I started any real design studies.
