MIT 2.009 capstone · Product Form lead

Scribbly

I owned the physical design of the product on a team of more than fifteen people, across a full semester and a working final prototype.

The hard part was not the form itself. Four subsystems all wanted the same interior volume, each team had a good reason, and I had no authority over any of them. My job was to keep one coherent object while those requirements moved underneath me.

What worked was making the tradeoff visible early — showing each team what their ask cost the others in the same drawing, so the argument happened over a shared model instead of over email. We shipped on time.

Bench

Fixtures, test parts, repairs, and the things that did not work the first time. I keep this here because the finished renders never show the reasoning, and the failed parts usually do.

Add a line under each piece: what it was for, what broke, what you changed.

Sketchbook

Ideation, form studies, and quick teardowns of objects I like. Mostly pen. The useful ones get pulled into Rhino.
