A collaborative effort with other gardeners in the Father Flanigan's Community Garden in Troy, NY to create a three bin compost system with proper signage to educate gardeners on advantageous composting techniques.
With the help of other Capital Roots staff members and volunteers, we worked together to build the 52nd community garden managed by Capital Roots, the Dean Leith Memorial Garden. It is the first raised-bed garden that Capital Roots has built, which allows for increased accessibility for the elderly and people with disabilities.
Perch is a storage system designed to maximize vertical space and to encourage the display of accessories and clothing. Simple and functional, the ladder-inspired design solves the constant issue of clothing clutter. It is designed for Dwell customers, so its aesthetic is simple and geometric. Perch is quick and fun to assemble, making it easily portable, especially for apartment dwellers.
Materials: Poplar, Maple, Danish Oil, Cotton rope, Whipped with red string
T-Minus 151 Hours is an intensive, one-week project rallying together all students of the RIT Industrial Design department. Each year, the department partners with an industry sponsor to drive the criteria and offer an award in acknowledgement of the winning team’s concept. 2014’s industry sponsor was Efe Kababulut of Lazzoni Furniture.
This project was to design furniture solutions that could be used as a much needed student lounge within Booth and Gannett. Our group chose a hallway space, and designed a modular system for a joyful waiting experience. We were awarded first place.
