Color Guard mosquito bed net

Color Guard mosquito bed net is the first bed net that has a double-layer that prevents mosquitos from biting through the net. Also, each net is dyed a custom color by its owner with a colored insecticide that impregnates the fibers of the net. It is safe to humans but kills mosquitoes on contact. This huge project was only possible by the efforts of my teammates.

Gondolier GPS

Gondolier is a GPS navigational unit and social networking device for the carnival revellers in Venice, Italy. This project involved not only the hardware design but also all of the interaction design between the user and the screens of the GPS. Tip: getting lost in the maze that is Venice is a lot of fun. Try using the Gondolier only when you need to find the best wine bar right away or when you need to email a party pic to your coworkers back home.

Flip Laptop Bag

Flip is the one laptop bag that you can take to the office or to the playground. It is totally reversable (conservative and sleek on one side; furry and playful on the other side). This was a great project for exploring materials and learning to sew from my Aunt Tina. {Aunt Tina, sorry about breaking your sewing machine :(
