Automated Hockey Stick Taping Device(In-progress)
Overview
CCM ProWrap is a conceptual, automated hockey stick-taping device designed to improve taping precision, consistency, and speed while delivering a premium sports-tech experience for athlete preparation.
The Challenge
Traditional hockey stick taping can be repetitive, inconsistent, and time-consuming. This project explores how automation and industrial design can streamline the process while maintaining CCM’s performance-driven identity.
The Concept
ProWrap uses an internal rotating mechanism to evenly wrap hockey tape around the blade while housing the system within a compact, performance-inspired form.
Current design focuses include:
Compact housing design
Transparent viewing panels
Internal mechanism layout
Premium CCM-inspired surfacing
Manufacturable part separation
Process
The project began with hand sketch ideation and mechanism planning before moving into iterative CAD development in Fusion 360.
The current prototype explores:
Surface refinement
Form language
Vent and lighting details
User interaction points
Internal component integration
DESIGNER, BARBIE × PRUSA BRAND COLLABORATION CONCEPT PROJECT
Developed a speculative brand collaboration between Barbie and Prusa focused on empowering young girls through creativity, engineering, and accessible 3D printing experiences. The concept explored how branding, storytelling, and product ecosystems can encourage greater representation within STEM spaces.
Designed visual identity systems, campaign storytelling, packaging concepts, product renderings, and user experience touchpoints that combined Barbie’s aspirational branding with Prusa’s mission of accessible creation and fabrication tools.
Turning a typical task into something effortless.

RINSE RIOT
People value clean and safe produce, yet current washing methods are inconvenient, inconsistent, and often ineffective. Rinse Riot is a compact countertop appliance designed to solve that problem by reimagining how we clean fruits and vegetables. Powered by natural pod-based ingredients like vinegar and baking soda, it safely and effortlessly removes dirt and pesticides.
Designed for simplicity, it transforms a frustrating, time-consuming chore into a calm, modern experience while showcasing product design skills.
MY WHY
THE How Might We
With limited time for deep research, I focused on understanding the core problem: many produce items carry residue, and natural cleaning methods can be effective but inconvenient. This led to my central design question: How might we simplify the produce cleaning process so that people feel confident in what they eat?
-
Research began with fruits and vegetables that are most commonly exposed to pesticide residues. These include strawberries, spinach, grapes, and apples.
-
Studies show that baking soda and vinegar are powerful and safe agents for removing bacteria and pesticides.
PROCESS
With a clear design question in place, I moved into rapid ideation and exploration to understand how this concept could come to life.
