MW01 bluetooth adapter for Master & Dynamic, 2020. Slide the body from the anodized aluminum sheath, rotate out the appropriate number of 3.5mm pins, and slide back to connect your bluetooth audio devices to anything with an aux output for high quality bluetooth audio on your personal devices. Designed primarily for aviation, the device’s slim profile and hard exterior allow for a lifetime of use while attention to detail rewards users with a fulfilling experience, easing the stress of air travel.
Master & Dynamic’s reputation of durability, luxury, and uniqueness allows for a bold concept in which the object’s form state drives the software state, meaning no buttons are required for use. The payoff is a simpler and more graceful day-to-day product experience.
Forest Table, 2017. Designed to mimic variation in forest trees, this coffee table frames dynamic interior with a simple overall profile. Made from white oak and finished with tung oil.
Directional MEMS array boom microphone concepts, 2019. These concepts are driven by the technology contained rather the cultural expectations of a boom microphone (based on ECM microphone requirements). An experiment in updating form to match updated technology.
MEMS arrays work by triangulating directionality, meaning there must be multiple MEMS microphones present. The above concepts show elongated concepts that allow 20-30mm of space between microphone ports, the minimum distance required for effective background noise cancellation, and utilize a single PCB substrate for both MEMS microphones to save cost and simplify assembly.
Actions upon solids experimentations, 2020. A sculptural experiment about actions upon a consistent solid, relationships between solid and surface, and the use of process and material as dictators of color and finish. Mold manufacturing method, material selection, and actions taken during the casting process itself create variety and interest on the surfaces of these forms, while the strong geometric simplicities of the overall composition create balance and approachability.
Headphone ear cup composition, layout, and assembly concepts, 2019. New materials and light manufacturing methods in consumer audio products.
Rutherford County walnut bowl set, 2017. A complete manufacturing and making process, from tree felling through object use.
