Here are a selection of the early tent concepts I've been working on. These sketches were focused on the modular and pole-free aspects of the design problem.

Studio to Summit
I have decided to focus my semester on the design and fabrication of an ultralight backpacking tent/shelter in the hopes of combating some of the problems I see with most tents on the market. This is a preliminary presentation for my Studio to Summit course.
Ecuador
As always it seems the winter break has left me a little behind with the blog. Not to worry, I will have quite a few updates for you all shortly.
I spent my winter break traveling, backpacking, and climbing throughout Ecuador and had an incredible time. The food was delicious, the people were too, too kind, and the country-side was gorgeous. The trip was in part tied in with a course I am currently taking at Pratt called Studio to Summit. The class is a 7 person team with the goal of designing a family of outdoor products that bring the user closer to nature. For photos from the trip, updates on the class, and inspiration for our projects please check out our blog: Studio to Summit.

More Prints
The top print is from an edition of 15 and is titled "Green Eggs n Ham". The print below is from an edition of 13 and is titled "Splat".
Printmaking
I took a relief printmaking class this semester and thought I should show some of the work. These prints were my first edition and were printed from a two-ply sheet of cardboard. Sorry for the low quality photos.

Lighting Clusters
Here are some really quick sketches I did a few weeks back. I was focusing on the general layout of the lights as well as the character they would give the vehicle.

Studio to Summit
Please check out my planned design project for second semester: Studio to Summit. Along with 6 other students I will be traveling to Ecuador to backpack in the Andes and summit Cotopaxi. During second semester we will be designing a family of outdoor products based upon the product testing and field research done in Ecuador.
