PHYSICAL PRODUCT DESIGN & 3D MODELING

PHYSICAL PRODUCT DESIGN & 3D MODELING

Starting with an idea, concept, or problem space, I always begin my design process with extensive research. Online research, interviews, surveys, and market testing are just some of the ways I gather the information needed to properly address the design in questions.

Once I have a wholistic understanding of the challenge ahead of me, I move to concepting & prototyping. Here, I use both my 3D modeling expertise in combination with my physical prototyping skills to search for a solution that is functional, beautiful, and meets the criteria laid out by the project itself.

In the later stages of physical product development, I lean more heavily on my graphic design skills to convey critical details to internal team members and external manufacturing partners alike.

SKETCHING

A pencil and paper is almost always the fastest way to start exploring possible design solutions.

3D PRINTING

A long time passion has become a daily part of my professional career. One of several proto-typing & manufacturing tools at my disposal, I regularly incorperate 3D prints into my design process.

Wood Working

I've long been interested in creating in a variety of mediums, and my time spent in woodshops growing up taught me the skills I now use to prototype products.

Another interest of mine early on was welding and metal work. I learned a variety of techniques that both help me proto-type, and prepare my models for manufacturing.

3D MODELING

Using a variety of software including Solidworks, Rhino + Grasshopper, OnShape, and Fusion, I can create complex models via a variety of different techniques, including surfacing.

RENDERING

To share my models with internal collaborators, external parterners, customers, and more, I have learned to create lifelike renders via KeyShot, Solidworks Visualize, and Spline 3D. These renders allow us to see what has not yet been made, or test a variety of ideas.

PRODUCT TESTING

Before any product can make its way into consumer hands, it must be tested in variety of potential scenarios, both inside and outside of its intended use case. Durability, function, aesthetics, branding, finishes, and more have to survive the rigors of daily use and potentially abusive customers.

GRAPHIC DESIGN & DIGITAL MEDIA ASSETS

GRAPHIC DESIGN & DIGITAL MEDIA ASSETS

I start my design process for digital assets much the same way I start designing physical products, with research. In order to create a visual piece that tells the right narrative, it is imperative to have a complete understanding of the story being told.

Before making my first sketch, I collect all the assets I will need to face to the design challenge ahead of me. With a broad collection of media, both inspirational and usable, I begin laying down my first sketch, adding my first adjustment layer, and importing my first clip.

Often times, telling a story through a digital piece requires a variety of digital tools. I have experience using a broad range of tools from physical sketches to the Adobe Creative Suite that will allow me to create any digital assets we might need.

PHOTOGRAPHY
PHOTOGRAPHY

My passion for landscape photography earlier in life has proved invaluable in my career as a Designer. Not only do I understand how to properly document my work, but I also posses photo editing skillsets that are critical for graphics packs and many other digital assets I create.

VIDEOGRAPHY

Similar to photography, my interest in videography started with my friends and I filming each other at the local skatepark. Here I mastered the tricks of shot framing and video editing that have allowed me to create engaging and informative videos.

DIGITAL DRAWING

When designing layouts, graphics packs, product instructions, and more, it is critical to be able to draw within a digital space. Using tools like Illustrator I can create logos, icons, infographics and so much more.

WEB-DEV

Throughout highschool I was interested in app development and spent time inside and outside of school building simple python apps. More recently I built a full site using WordPress and most recently I used Framer to build this Site!

LAYOUT DESIGN
LAYOUT DESIGN

In order to create many if not all digital assets, a strong understanding of and feeling for appropriate layouts is critical. I always strive to ensure every graphic element makes sense in relation to its surroundings.

TECH PACKS
TECH PACKS

In the pursuit of designing physical products, arguably the most important step is being able to communicate your design intent to your manufacturing partners. My graphic skillsets have proved invaluable in the creation of tech packs, BOM's, and other technical documents for external partners.

DATA VISUALIZATION

As every design process starts with research and ends with performance evaluation, communicating critical information to internal and external partners alike is critical. Here, my graphic design skills have allowed me to create charts and graphs that convey critical information while simultaneously drawing the reader into the story further and further.

THE BIKING THING

FREERIDE MOUNTAIN BIKING?

While I was still attending the US Naval Academy, there were strict rules about what items you could and could not own on campus. I was really struggling without any of the attachments to the outdoors I had grown accustomed to, but one item you could own at the academy was a bike for exercise.

I only got to ride a few times while I was at the Academy, but it developed my initial interest. I moved back to Seattle for the summer and that interest exploded into passion. And after moving to Utah to continue my education, that passion turned into obsession.

Today I am a professional Freeride Mountain Biker for Ripton Co., and I have had the fortune to work with brands like Patagonia, Revel Bikes, ENVE Composites, and more. I have competed in events across the nation and abroad, made video parts with a variety of talented videographers, and most importantly, have found a community that shares my passion. I joined InTheHillsGang somewhere along the way, a crew of like minded individuals looking to push themselves, and the sport in a new direction.

InTheHills Movie Segment - HILLBOMB

Filmed & Edited By: Jake Quilter | Full Movie Available on Youtube

One of my proudest moments throughout my biking career thus far has been my film segment in the movie HillBomb, by InTheHillsGang. InTheHills is a freeride mountain biking crew that was born out of a group of friends going to school in Durango, CO, and has grown to be one of the best known riding crews in freeride today. I am lucky enough to call myself a friend, associate, and member of InTheHills and both myself and my filmer, Jake Quilter, put our everything into this project. My segment is playing above but be sure to check the full film on YoutTube!

I-Street Trail Stewardship

I-Street Trail Stewardship

In order to enjoy riding bikes as I have for the past 8 years, communities need places where riders, diggers, and filmers can express themselves freely. Unfortunately, places like this are hard to come by and often strictly regulated, destroying any creative opportunities.

When I first moved to Utah, i-street wasn't even an official bike park and I had to physically search the outskirts of the city until I found a small plot of land refered to as i-street. I started going more and more, and at some point I was attending the park every single day.

In order to ensure that i-street is protected and continues to serve generations of bike riders into the distant future, the city has adopted the land as an official park. They then identified a small group of core "stewards" who will continue to maintain and shape the park moving forward.
