HW due 5/1: created 2 sketches based of Wright’s windows, 2 others involving skylines and the world map:
CW 4/10: finished top layer for first drawer, started creating second drawer:
CW 4/6: adjusted and redesigned based on feedback about lip for laptop stand, instead now using a recess in the drawer to hold the laptop and make the angle adjustable and more ergonomic:
HW due 4/6: prototyped in carboard the final design, placed on Willem’s desk, note that the flaps will be drawers later on:

Phone stand possible designs:
Wed. 2/1 Classwork:
Used epoxy and magnets to create and secure hinge to base section (when fabricated), and used epoxy and metal plates to secure connection and hinge to upper arm.
Phone model design:
Modeling phone with case, camera, buttons, and ports by taking into account the base volume of the model and taking into account protrusions and indentations.
Thurs. 2/16 Classwork
Finished fabricating lamp design, uses magnetism in the support arms and metal discs in the joints to create a “stick”, attraction force. The base has a hollowed space for all wiring (DC jack, switch, the leads to the LED strip which are run up the lower arm’s back), and was assembled using hollowed out portions of wood to fill in and attach with wood glue and epoxy.
Design HW 2/20
Using a technical drawing, and visualization to figure out unknown values, replicated the standard version of the pencil box.
New pencil box, designed to rely on gravity pulling at an angle, so the lower end rises, with the pencil catching on the top layer and middle layer to hold in place.
Classwork 3/23/23 used ChatGPT and DALL-E to create images and come up with considerations for new desk organizer design project
HW 3/27/23 used ChatGPT considerations to come up with relevant questions to ask housemate about necessary functionality/design constraints for desk organizer project
Classwork 3/27/23 used the questions that served as the first part of the design process (Empathize) to come up with the next part, a design statement:
HW due 3/29 used design statement to come up with 6 possible designs, an iteration of the folding laptop stand was chosen as the final design by the user:
Classwork 3/29 started fabricating final design, had issues with allowing for spacing with the drawers, so had to restart a lot:
HW due 4/3: had a lot of changes to make after starting to model in 3d, so had to restart a lot, but here is what I have after considering the fact that the lip for the laptop stand would get in the way of the drawer and that the angle would be too steep:
HW due 4/5: feedback on prototype (i didn’t have a physical model, just a drawing) It looked good, so long as the base piece for the laptop stand is strong enough. Also, make sure that the angle of the laptop is comfortable enough for the wrists. Liked the fairly clean look from a laptop on the top hiding any knobs or open edges, but accessible. Would like some open available items like pencil pens and highlighters stored separately to keep the clean look but just be quick since they are used so much. (the drawing i got the feedback on is below)
