Had some fun resolving a bit more of the internals on my mouse! - #sketch #sketching #idsketching #productdesign #industrialdesign #id #draw #drawing #design #art #artist #illustration #pen #pencil #artwork #instadraw #instaart #designer #mouse #m
My entry for this week’s #renderweekly #rwmic challenge was to envision a @teenageengineering microphone. I love the pure, raw geometry that their products embody, and thought it might make an interesting mashup/opportunity for a desk microphon
Took some time the other night to paint my prototype and shoot some photos. It’s far from perfect, but fun to see your ideas come to life. I also wanted to show a picture of the mouse in use, where you can see that your entire hand has a rest
After tearing down the Apple Magic mouse, I removed the tact switch/mouse clicking element to allow me to create a more functional prototype. Here I kept the assembly geometry stupid simple to try to reduce the risk of printing distortion and suppo
I couldn’t resist the #rwprimitive challenge to use primitive shapes! I was particularly intrigued with the idea of really challenging myself to focus only on proportion and detailing to design a basic consumer product. Retaining the viscerally
When I was back in college, I remember so many days where I’d hang out on campus and end up getting sunburnt from sitting in the sun all day. This design was driven by my desire to have a little shade to hide under while still being able to sit
Here are my personal top nine posts from 2021, the second image is the top likes from 2021. After those posts I’ve shared my top nines from past years. It’s so important for me to keep learning and growing as a human, as a designer, and
Ran a handful of in context renderings to showcase how the mouse would look and feel in the apple ecosystem. Notice that the mouse’s wireless charger also charges your iPhone while you’re working throughout the day. More to come!
I was asked on a previous post to share some of the process on the internals I modeled. This exploration is really just to gut check the space for components (specifically the wireless charging component in the tail of the mouse), and also to make th
Found some time yesterday to sketch! Swipe to the end to see the timelapse. 👉 I ended up sketching my dream white shoes, inspired by a pair of BrandBlack sneakers I’ve been eyeing, but tailored for some PNW winters. Unlike other white sneake
Another update! The design is still undergoing refinement, and progress is slow and steady 😁 I’ve removed the underside gills, as they add too much in terms of dust collection, and comfort under the wrist can really be accomplished through the
After many, many failed prints and continued troubleshooting, I was able to print off a prototype with flexible material!! Combining hard pla prints with flexible, softer parts allows me to experience the intended design a bit closer to the design in
Here’s some photos I’ve taken over the past couple of years.. This past summer I gave a masterclass which I titled Form Development — Language of the Universe. In that talk I shared my love and passion for nature, shape language, ho
Here is what I’m calling the Apple Magic Mushroom Mouse, the successor to the Apple Magic Mouse! — The original Magic Mouse released in 2009, and I think it’s about time apple released a premium mouse that fits the high-end ecosyst
I tallied all the votes I received on the sketch concepts, and concept 1 was a CLEAR winner. Here’s how the votes broke down if you’re interested: c1 33 votes, c2 6, c3 13, c4 10, c5 3, c6 13, c7 12, c8 18! — Here I’ve very qu
I’m the luckiest guy in the world! My absolutely stunning, gorgeous, perfect wife @foxandpines and I had the most amazing wedding day ever. The weather was mystically perfect. We were so grateful to have close family and friends that we love jo
This exploration is far from exhaustive, but what concepts are you most interested in? — I’m personally most drawn to this being an Apple Magic Mouse 2.0, which leads me to think concept 7 would be my choice. I’m still interested in
Bought the cheapest apple magic mouse I could find to tear apart. An array of cap sensors line the entire mouse surface, allowing the variety of touch interactions that are possible to create the magic! — The top of the mouse is a transparent p
There is something so magic about how the apple Magic Mouse works, but I wanted to also explore some other ideas around how the mouse might communicate and signal to the user how to scroll without a traditional scroll wheel. I imagine the surface hav
Here’s some photos of early 3D prints! I find it best to just draw straight on them. In the real world you would often redline revisions for MEs or model up ID reference CAD to help refine intent as you move towards production, but for my perso
