The Mazer Corporation designs text books.
I started off in image research and was
promoted to junior designer.
mask
problem statement:
design and construct a three-dimensional mask out of
2-ply Bristol paper without the use of adhesives.
when worn the mask should conceal the user’s identity.
mood
With this project I wanted to explore the idea of transformation. A ritualistic
mask allows the wearer to transform not only his identity but his reality as
well. The mask gives him access to places and things far beyond the reach
of simpler men. He has become someone different not something different.
vessel
problem statement:
To design a metal vessel which contains, holds,
displays or presents three pieces of fruit. This vessel should
express emotional, attitudinal, metaphorical or spiritual
qualities, which can be fully experienced and
described by the designer. These same qualities, or ones
that are similar, should be apparent to a person viewing
and experiencing the vessel and the fruit.
mood
When I was a kid I asked my parents for an apple tree.
I was captivated by the idea of picking an apple off
the branch and eating it on the spot. With this project
I wanted to explore the apple picking experience and
bring it inside the home.

soap
problem statement
Develop a name, packaging, branding concept,
and sculpted form of soap for a specific,
randomly chosen, consumer.
consumer profile
A young banker from Australia who recently
moved to the United States with his wife and infant
daughter. They are homesick and suffering from
skin allergies.
mood
With this project I wanted to utilize images,
objects and ingredients that would be
familiar to any native Australian. I wanted
to convey how great the distance between
Australia and the US really is. I wanted it to
look expensive but it had to have a sense
of fun. The playfulness would help justify the
cost and thus justify the purchase.

The word Dreamtime is the Aboriginal
concept for the time before man or
before creation.
pen
problem statement:
To design a pen for the Marksman design
award. Although the competition had its own
set of guidelines our professor gave us the
freedom to do whatever we wanted. I chose
to explore the idea of signing one’s name in
blood. The pen I created is meant for one time
use or limited use. I wanted it to look painful
but elegant. The presentation was also a key
part of the project so I’ve tried to incorporate it
into my portfolio’s existing layout.
