Basketball

Backpack

Hobbies are a huge part of my life. Especially basketball, skiing, and hiking. The things that I have experienced while doing these hobbies have played a big role in my upbringing, and who I am today.

Basketball is a huge part of my life. And I feel as though it could also be for a lot of other people. However, just like me when starting out it can be easy to get frustrated when missing shots. This basketball concept lights up from inside to tell you where to place your hands when shooting, along with other things.

I love hiking. I feel relaxed and calm while hiking and my favorite part is when I summit a mountain. That's why, for my second identity vessel, I chose a backpack.

Early Sketches

I have been skiing since before I can remember, and yet, my love for the sport has never diminished. In fact, skiing has helped me develop my sense of independence because my parents have let me and my brother ski by ourselves since we were in elementary school.

Lofi Prototyping

I grew in many ways this studio. One of them was by always engaging and listening to what people have to say, and constantly trying to implement their feedback and ideas into my work. Instead of thinking that my idea was the best and that I shouldn't change it. I also learned to focus on the little details in my work instead of rushing it. As they say "Measure twice, cut once." I learned that you'll know when you're done with your work if you feel satisfied with the result.

In this studio, I built three concepts. The first concept is a basketball that lights up to show you where to place your hands when shooting. I liked this idea because it can give people the same satisfaction that making a shot gives me. I went through many iterations when building this prototype, until I felt good about my work. My second concept had to do with my love for hiking and camping. So I built a backpack. My first idea with the backpack was for there to be a mountain in the backpack itself, however I decided against this because I realized that it would be hard to display this. My last concept had to do with the fact that I love skiing. I thought of many different ways of building a ski slope, but ended up with a rather simple shape that was very distinct and unique.
