HANDYSHELL
Year: 2010-2011
Role: Sr. Designer
Overview: The first iPad was an amazing device that created a new category for personal electronics. This lead to new use scenarios that created new pain points for our customers. Our objective with HandyShell was to provide a mobile protective solution for professionals. The goal was to provide a protective case with an adjustable stand, and an ergonomic handle for more comfortable extended use.
Mighty Pack
Year: 2015
Role: Lead Designer
Overview: The MightyPack was a backpack system designed for urban commuters who wanted a home base for their important technology while on the go. After an initial research phase that identified the need for a better way to streamline the mobile technology experience we identified the key items that our target demographic needed on the go. The final design packages this research into a bag full of thoughtful details for the technology aficionado. With charging configurations in either the pack or your pocket, an easy to access rigid “vault” pocket for your mobile tech, and a quick adjusting strap system this bag has you covered.
CANDYSHELL + ARMBAND

Large reflective area to promote visibility in low light
A sweat proof membrane around the device
Integrated cable management in the armband
