I KNOW THE NAME IS MISLEADING, BUT THE PROCESS WILL HELP EXPLAIN THE RESULT

BUILDING THE ROBOT

AFTER THE FIRST ITERATION, I FOUND THAT MY CIRCUIT DID NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH TORQUE TO OPERATE THE SPIGOT, SO I CREATED A SLIDER CRANK TO PUSH LINEARLY ON THE SPIGOT FROM THE FRONT

NOZZLE ADJUSTMENT

I RAN INTO SOME WIRING/TORQUE OBSTACLES AGAIN, SO I SCRAPPED THE CONCEPT INVOLVING KOMBUCHA DISPENSING. I WANTED TO KEEP THE SLIDER CRANK, LAZY SUSAN, AND DISPENSING FUNCTION OF THE ROBOT, SO I FOUND AN OBJECT THAT DID NOT REQUIRE AS MUCH TORQUE TO OPERATE IN THE SOAP BOTTLE

FINAL ROBOT

THIS WAS A LONG AND OBSTACLE-RIDDEN PROCESS, BUT I WAS HAPPY WITH THE FINAL RESULT AND FOR DEVELOPING A FUNCTIONAL ROBOT

Product/Industrial Designer 

My passion for humanitarian design led me to begin my college career as an Architectural student at the University of Minnesota. During my sophomore year I switched to Product Design and truly found my passion. Since then, I've worked across industries as an Industrial Designer, using the skills I learned and the empathy I have to design solutions that help people. I currently work as an Industrial Designer and User Experience Designer at Arthrex. I want to showcase the work into which I put so much time, effort, and creativity. 

​

In the wake of the George Floyd murder, I started thinking of ways that I could further the Black Lives Matter / Social Justice movement, especially in my hometown of Circle Pines, MN. I wanted to tie my love for hockey, an incredibly discriminating and privileged sport, to my efforts as well. I set up a 501c-3 Nonprofit for donations and fundraising to help foster inclusivity, access, and opportunities for BIPOC families who have been, and continue to be, discriminated in society and sport.

 

This is a link to the website that I set up that explains the program in greater detail and also has resources for donating. Please check it out (and donate if you can)!
