icon creation

I'll make vector icons for the noun project every so often as a way to stretch those visual / exploration skills. I've tried a few recently around the 'quickly get an image with ai-vectorize it' route to see how that pathway goes.

For UX and product design, it is often helpful to ponder a new icon or have a logo to represent a concept.

Somehow my wood finish one is the most downloaded at about 5000.

You can see more of the noun project icons here.

scripted axidraw work

Part of my masters degree work was around digital fabrication.

I can't quite afford the CNC mill / water jet cutter yet, but the axidraw has allowed me to experiment around graphics in this realm.

Imagery is a range of scripting, calculated 3D modeling, and ai image (heavily altered after initial creation)

There are thoughts of the concept of digital craft.

generative web-code art

I’m not fully sure how how to group these. In relation to direct work, these experiments could inform smart headers, backgrounds, loaders, etc. In relation to artwork elsewhere…I’m always game for a challenge.

Piece 1: Header concept for cards

Piece 2: Artistic loader concept

Piece 3: Artistic loader concept

Piece 4: Random chaotic circle generator

Piece 5: Slow moving background art

Piece 6: Purely artistic

Piece 7: Background concept

graphic design work

Providing some examples of the more purely graphic design work from old roles.

photography

Similar to the graphic design, I've had a number of roles where providing good photos helped get things going.

3d printer experimentation

Mechanical engineering and architecture provided me with a pretty extensive background across a number of 3d modeling tools. IDEAS, Solidworks, Sketchup, Shapelab, I've used a range.

Rhino and grasshopper or blenders node based modeling systems are my favorite areas to explore in and I look at a how those system enable a number of complex 3d modeling results.

Prototype sketches

Prototypes & Sketches

Welcome to the Prototypes & Sketches page, where you can explore the visual evolution of my design work through various projects. Below are detailed examples of wireframes, prototypes, and sketches from my time at different companies, showcasing the iterative design process and the development of user-centric solutions.
