Collaborative Product Design

Portfolio Work Overview

Project 1: Life Cycle Analysis and Product Development

This project focused on comparing an existing product and then researching it in more life cycle analysis depth. We looked at raw minerals, extraction, distribution, retail, end user, and recycling into biological and technical nutrients. Working in a group we developed a process, timeline, and product idea for a refrigeration unit.




Project 2: Target as Client

In Fall of 2024 we wrapped up one project group and started to work with a new team at MCAD,as well as with the Product Development team at Target. We took an existing product, pulled it apart and measured it against multiple criteria, and then redesigned it, and modeled it in different scenarios. It was challenging, and a good way to work across multiple disciplines, and fun!
