Project Brief

Project Brief Develop a family of three products that are aesthetically and functionally har-

monious. I chose to work with Beau, a bottled water beverage company, to restore the

market they are losing due to increased environmental concerns.

Solution Beau, a bottled water industry leader, is in a very powerful position, but is also

under increased scrutiny and criticism. With their sustainability in question, I’ve created a

product family consisting of nature-based household water fi ltration products to further

Beau’s goal of great tasting water and reducing their impact on the earth.

Design Process

birth life afterlifebio-plastics From their conception, each Beau

household filtration product was designed

with its afterlife in mind. Each one starts with

a compostable nature-based resin called

Cereplast Compostables® resins, which are

renewable, ecologically sound substitutes for

petroleum-based plastic products, replacing

nearly 100% of the petroleum-based addi-

tives used in traditional plastics.

The filter itself is 100% natural

bamboo charcoal, which is taken from plants

five years or older, and burned inside an

oven at temperatures over 800° C. Bamboo

charcoal is an environmentally functional ma-

terial which has excellent absorption proper-

ties. Naturally, bamboo charcoal is about

three times as porous as wood charcoal.

household use Beau products made from Cere-

plast’s resins exhibit comparable or superior

performance characteristics versus petro-

leum-based plastics.

Concerned about your health?

Beau water filtration products have many

benefits besides just being an eco-friendly

and economic alternative. Health benefits

from using bamboo charcoal include: im-

proved digestion, release of beneficial nega-

tive ions, absorbtion of harmful pollutants

in the water, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and

absorbs odor.

compost When you’re ready to part with

a product from Beau, it’s designed for dis-

assembly. Products made from Cereplast

Compostables® resins break down in less

than 180 days when placed in an industrial

compost facility.

Bamboo charcoal can be ground

up and planted to act as a natural fertilizer

even after its water filtration capabilities have

ceased.

Match.com Vibe

Brand Identity


Brand Identity

Project Brief Design a mobile communication device, which embodies brand character-

istics and create a product extension for this brand that could conceivably have one of

this type of product in their product line. I chose to create a product for Match.com who

doesn’t currently have a physical product.

Solution Vibe helps singles across the world find the kind of relationship they’re look-

ing for. The product accomplished this by extending a physical product to Match.com

members who rarely have time to update their Match.com online profile. The product

helps members meet potential matches in their day-to-day lives rather than having to

solely rely on the Internet. With the vibe, potential matches are instantly accessible for

a tangible interaction. The vibe is designed to exploit the act of meeting someone. The

only way to really get to know someone is meet him or her face to face.

Who People who are interested in dating but don’t necessarily have the time.

What A physical product that users can take out into their everyday lives and find

the relationship that they are looking for when it is convenient for them.

Why Dating shouldn’t be stressful. By creating more opportunities for users to

meet face to face and have a tangible experience, they’re guaranteed to find a match.

Match.com Vibe


Ideation


You walk into a bar and sit down for a drink. You’re interested in meet-ing a potential match tonight, so you take out your Match.com Vibe and send out a “looking for a match notification.”

Stephanie, who has similar interests to your own, also uses the Match.com Vibe. Match.com reasons that Stephanie is a potential match for you, so she is notified that you’re looking for a match. As her Vibe glows pink and vibrates, a picture of you appears on her screen and she has the option to either “send him a wink” or ignore.” Stephanie winks at you!

Your Vibe vibrates and glows pink after you receive a wink from Stepha-nie along with her picture. Now that you have verification that Stephanie is interested in you, it is time to meet her.

You walk up to Stephanie and you introduce yourself. By meeting face to face with her and having a conversa-tion, you are both instantly able to verify personality traits that may take months on the Internet to figure out.
