Personal NU Shirt

Personal Project
Oct. 2024
As I could not find neither a shirt nor a sweater with both of the schools I attended (Northwestern and Northeastern University), I created my own. Using images and the schools' fonts online, I designed the image to the right in Adobe Illustrator and embroidered the design on a black shirt with a Brother Embroidery Machine.

Bottle Opener
Personal Project
Sep. 2022
One of my friends told me he needed a bottle opener, one that would make the task fun. Taking on the challenge, I designed my idea in Solidworks and machined a wooden bottle opener where the bottle cap would bounce around into 1 of 3 slots - like a plinko board. I stained the wood and added a lacquer to prevent damage from beverages. I added a piece of white HDPE to be drawn on to keep track of the number of caps in each slot

Holiday Gift
Personal Project
Dec. 2022
When planning a gift to a family member, I remembered how his kittens always jumped on his cutting boards, so I decided to make their own cutting board. I used an image of the two kittens and laser engraved it onto a bamboo board. The challenge of the project was adjusting the grey-scale of the image so the black kitten could be distinguished from the couch.
