Climbing/Hiking model and Rendered images
As promised here are the 3D rendered images of the climbing and hiking shoe. I've included call-outs on the features of the shoe I wanted to emphasize. I may update the model with a different set of materials in the future.

Nixon Exhibit
Here are some initial developmental 3D model renderings for a nixon exhibit I'm working on for class. There's s walk through corridor with flat screens which will play various media as well as pedestals showcasing some their popular watches. To the left I've added an additional television screen for media coverage and more pedestals showcasing even more watches. To the right is a small seating area designed for salespersons and customers to have business interactions; a bit cramped, but 'm trying my best to work within the 20x10 feet back wall exhibit constraints (smh). My final layout decisions haven't been made yet and I may add some more details to this design. Keep an eye open.

Streamline/Aerodynamic
If you're not at all familiar with the Aerodynamic/streamlined style of the 1950's think of a tear drop. At one end you have a round bulging shape which then tapers down as you get towards the other end. If you take a look at a lot of the industrial design of the decade you'll notice a lot of this tear drop shape in the design of many cars and especially trains. This shape is supposed to allow for superior aerodynamics of the that time. My second assignment in history class was to design a household appliance that would mimic this style of design. I've chosen a toaster-pretty simple i know, but with a toaster having traditionally a solid single shaped body I thought of it as an opportunity to redesign something you would normally glance over into something a bit more aesthetically unique. Below are some 3D renderings of a toaster of this style as well as some 2D ideation sketches.
De Stijl Tea set
Here's a tea set I designed for my history of modern design class after the Dutch De Stijl style pioneered by Theo Van Doesburg. It includes a teapot, creamer, tea cup, saucer and spoon. The name De Stijl was first the title of a design journal in Holland founded by the aforementioned artist. The style itself consisted primarily of rectilinear(rectangular) geometric shapes often at right angles and a balance b/w positive and negative shape, space and void. Additionally through the encouragement of Piet Mondrian the style also included primary colors red, blue and yellow, but in my design of the tea set I decided to leave that part out-personal reasons.
