About
Inspired by the legacy of the 1971 Ford Mustang, this CAD exercise explores how iconic automotive design can be reimagined in a modern product. The project cross-brands the Mustang’s bold identity with the function and form of high-end studio headphones.
• Drawing from the Mustang’s distinctive wireframe bumper, taillights, and geometric cues from its front and side silhouettes
• Designed to communicate a sense of premium sound quality, comfort, and bold visual presence—mirroring this specific Mustang model’s commanding look and feel
Focused on executing a seamless, automated mechanism, this experimental design worked all the way from some paper engineering to programming a servo motor for hands-free turning.
• CAD model with joints -> paper & chipboard models -> laser cut MDF manual prototype -> adjustments made +spacers added between parts -> coded servo motor prototype with potentiometer, on/off switch, and LCD screen
Finding what user needs were most relevant within a population of new apartment owners who fail to keep their plants alive
• Aimed to improve the main issue of “plant owners never knowing if they are over or under watering their specimens”
• Focused on creating a functional and user-friendly prototype, rather than a “design heavy” product
• 3D modeled a two-part planter with storage for electronics that could look through cutouts to connect to a moisture level sensor and indicate a need for water to the owner via a discreet flashing LED
