Internship

Jan 2019 - April 2019

Houston, Texas

I worked on the HP ID Innovation Team, working as a close partner and executioner for my manager. Although I was an intern, I was treated more like a partner with my manager as we worked closely on developing innovation for HP.

I worked on researching future computing trends and using this information to ideate what future computing products for HP could look like. I also prototyped an ecosystem of future computing products through rapid ideation sketches, Solidworks, and Keyshot renderings. These concepts were then presented to the VP.

Internship

May 2018 - Aug 2018

Boston, Massachusetts

My main role was to visualize new Venus female razor designs, accessories and packaging. I worked on the whole design process from storytelling brand, POME consumer market analysis, trend forecasting, mood boards, industrial sketching, material exploration, form development, Keyshot Rendering, to SolidWorks modeling and surface refinement.

In my extra time, I visualized concepts that enhance upcoming razor initiatives and pitched them to the marketing team to help create authentic ties to the Gen-Z demographic.

I also created and led a spontaneous initiative, organizing 20+ interns to present insights & ideas about winning with Gen-Z & Millennials to VPs and board of directors at Gillette.

Enjoyed working with the Industrial Design team at Gillette! All very kind people.
