OUTDOOR PORTABLE STOVE/HEATERKAMIN+
Kamin+ is a stove/heater designed for backpacking campers who endure cold temperatures up to -15 degrees. Kamin+ is able to act as a stove as well as a heater while feeding off the same fuel source. It also contains an oversized knob that allows the user to easily control the stove/heater while still wearing gloves.

OUTDOOR PORTABLE STOVE/HEATERKAMIN+
form studies+ideation+
function study+
From research, it was found that there were no camping equipment that acted as both a stove and a heater. People often bring in the stove after using it outside to heat up the tents. But due to the production of Carbon Dioxide, these stoves aren’t advised to be used indoor for too long. Many iterations were done to �figure out different aspects of the stove. Through out the process, the form of Kamin+ was completely changed from its original state.

The heater uses a catalyst that slows down the burning process, allowing the temperature to be kept just below the level of combustion, producing a flameless heat that produces no carbon monoxide. This results in a clean and safe solution that allows the user to use Kamin+ inside a tent.
URBAN LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLEULEV
Finalist in the 2010 TaiwanInternational Bicycle DesignCompetition (IBDC)
AWARDS & RECOGNITION
rendering
U.L.E.V. is a Police bicycle that can adapt to different law enforcement scenarios, from neighborhood patrol to intense altercation.
The job of a Police Officer is demanding; they have to appear friendly and approachable in their efforts to protect the public, but they also need to be intimidating and act as a deterrent to those people who consider committing crimes.

The U.L.E.V. bicycle can be used as a protective barrier when encountering resistance. The front wheel and the centre panel feature bullet resistant surfaces.
Pressing the right button on the handlebars will immediately retract the seat, allowing for a quick dismount and ensuring that the Officer can engage the situation.

The design of Travalls is inspired by the life of the prothonotary war-bler. The construction of this bird-house attempts to mimic the struc-tural life of the bird. The overall shape is built using a series of wire framing, covered by fabric to enclose the space. It is designed to be placed in shallow water in flooded forests.

logo development
This pair of off-court tennis shoes has its value presented in its details. It contains very intricate stitching, a base color of black or white with highlights of the logo colors, and an outsole carved out of intricate paisley pattern.
The logo contains two royal colors, burgundy and gold, and three leopards, which can be found in the emblem of England, due to the fact that tennis was made popular by Henry VIII of England.

WIGGLEWOOD CHAIRFURNITURE
The purpose of this side project was to learn about the process of manufacturing wood furniture by understanding the methods of wood bending and lamination. The final chair form was designed to be assembled using minimum pieces of bent Wigglewood.
The town of Batawa is a small community with high spirits and great potential. Both residents and visitors in Batawa have access to a variety of year-round outdoor recreational activities such as hiking, cycling, mountain biking, horseback riding and skiing. Considering the town’s need for an all-season source of revenue, the project focuses on the improvement of current seasonal activities.

Over the 8 month period of research and development, our group narrowed down the project to the Batawa Ski Hill Recreational Area. Objectives of the project includes endorsing healthy social interactions, promoting life-long education, practicing eco-sustainability and respect-ing the natural setting. My part of the project focused on the development of the trail system, addressing the long-term issues surrounding the improvement of the existing summer trails.

MODULAR SHELTER SYSTEMBATAWA
I started this project by looking into the psychology and behaviour behind people in an outdoor space, how people perceive the visual, auditory and kinesthetic clues while moving through a natural envi-ronment. This led to the design of different elements that could be implemented into the existing trails system to improve its value and accessibility. As the project progressed, I decided to focus on one specific element, the shelter.

MODULAR SHELTER SYSTEMBATAWA
A representational 1:1 scale model of the shelter was constructed and brought to various areas for testing. 28 randomly selected people were asked to come inside the shelter and express their feelings though a ques-tionnaire. In addition the behaviours of the testers were recorded to verify the functionality of the shelter. From the results, a revised model was built and brought to Batawa for context testing.

MODULAR SHELTER SYSTEMBATAWA
This modular and adaptable shelter is designed to be placed in various areas within the Batawa trails. By chang-ing the location and configuration, the shelter can act as a viewpoint, a checkpoint, a temporary resting spot, or a social gathering area. Each feature within the shelter is designed to interact with the surrounding environment.
