the Portable 'EW' Earbuds for 3D Design 🎧

A die-cut design and set of iterative designs for an anti-tangle earbud storage solution.

We all know how irritating it is for those chords to be all tangled up when you want to listen to music. This series of designs attempted to solve that problem by creating a recyclable design solution with a cheap design so customers wouldn't think of it as too expensive. 'Electronics Work - EW' became the new brand to replace the Tech Mobile concept. The lasercut figure didn't make it through to the final design, though it sure was fun to work on.

To help celebrate my sister Marie's ‘sweet sixteen’, our sister Sarah and I assembled this little album featuring a photo and a corresponding song from each year... 2002-2018.

Plus two old-school bonus tracks as inside jokes.

Painting I's final project titled 'Subway Separation'.

Picture an American future, in which one fast food company has the monopoly over all of the fast food out there. They have beaten everyone else, and I chose Subway to be that hypothetical winner.

Imagine - they'd serve the same food across the entire country, but diverse ethnic groups and their respective languages have grown so strong within segregated communities, that the food chain eventually decides to accommodate to the segregation and provide separate restaurants that cater to each respective language, but all in the same community/town/city. This is the Highway Sign you'd see along the highway in that dystopian world.

Don't get me wrong: I love the American diversity - as long as it can still choose unity & common ground over separation & segregation.

Oil paint on 3' x 4' wooden sheet. Later gessoed over by my friend Megan 😂
