On Trail Rescue Stretcher

OTRS · Trailhead rescue device

Trailhead rescue transportation is highly inaccessible. Existing options can disrupt natural habitats, need a team of personnel, or strain park rangers. The brief: follow the design process to solve a real-world problem with recycled materials and a limited budget.

The stretcher locks at an ideal 105° seated position and folds compact for storage. Its handles are repurposed bike handlebars, and it is built from Cordura nylon, nylon webbing and paracord.

Ropeworks

Jump rope and massage roller

Created with Bella McDermott, this massage roller and jump rope set explores how non-recyclable rope waste can be brought into a circular process. Paper composite tubes and waste stainless steel were also used.

A batch of each was produced and sold at the ReMade event, hosted by Ideal Goods in downtown Bellingham.

Flip Camera

A classic camera reimagined for the modern content creator. Dual screens show a live feed for framing, teleprompter text, and levels from a clip-on microphone that detaches from the remote.

USB ports and full SD support handle accessories and charging. Two compact sensors use different focal lengths, and the camera flips closed to protect them with the screens.

Siphon Coffee Brewer

A brewer that highlights the sensory experience of making coffee. With siphon brewing, you hear the water boil, smell the coffee as it brews, and watch the whole process through the glass.

Clove Coat Rack

Entryway rituals matter. This coat rack uses bold design and satisfying interactions to make coming in from a rainy day refreshing.

Timed driers on individual switches turn a damp coat dry and warm. Time and temperature are set with simple dials on top, by the catch tray.

Nature Gateway

Designed for a local park, this gateway ushers pedestrians from downtown into a place lush with trees and the sound of rushing water in just a few steps.

Bold colors and progressively taller gates emphasize the scale of the surrounding nature. A park entrance once hidden in plain sight becomes a vibrant point of discovery.

Motorsport Helmet

A helmet designed with high-speed aerodynamics in mind, as part of a surfacing exercise.

ReMade Graphics

Graphic design for the ReMade event and for the packaging of its products. Figure drawings by Bella McDermott.

Overgrowth

Album

An album written, recorded and produced by me. Music and audio technology are still a big part of my life; I'm always writing, and working toward performing.
