Here is the Renault that I worked on while studying abroad at Strate College in Paris. The concept was to design a coupe for the European market considering the size change in the last few years. The project was called Down-Size me and we studied coupes, European culture and the influence of cars on certain markets. Overall, I had the time of my life in Paris and it really exposed me to different cultures and opened my eyes to different parts of the world.:)

Ford Summer Internship

Ford's World headquarters (Dearborn, Michigan)

Ford is tight straight up!
Here is some work I did while at FoMoCo this last summer. I had the time of my life and made a bunch of really good friends for sure!

Ford Radix Hybrid Interior

Radix (Roots in Latin)

Hybrids are a hot commodity, providing owners a sense of good will in their ability to help the
enviroment. My objective with Ford was to design an interior that reflects its eco-nature manufactured with sustainable materials. To obtain this goal, I designed the center console resembled a tree trunk with branching componets. The console contains a poly-lithium ion battery, giving life to the entire vehicle.

F-125 Abeo (Change in Latin)Smart use of Sheet metal

Trucks as an endangered Species

Bed Functions

Lincoln Luxury Sports Sedan

Lincoln Exterior Project

The objective of this project was to create a rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan. I got one week

to research current trends in the Lincoln brand and produce designs for this automobile.

Ford Motor Company

Model T was a very influential vehicle and was even named car of the century....so when starting this project we had big shoes to fill. The design brief was to design a new age Model T for 2030. Looking at the social impact, styling and the culture that emerged from it. My particular concept was based on the buying process and to tie the Assembly line to a who new experience. The customer would come to a Model T store, answer yes or no question to help them build their own vehicle, watch it manufactured and then drive it home that same day. This would give the customer of tomorrow custom-ability which normally passes the manufacture by and it would also give the consumer the feeling of their own creation.

General Motors Sponsored Studio Fall 2007

Sketch board for final presentation

Daewoo OLO 5th scale Model

Models after returning from the Automotive News Awards (Detroit January 2008)

Final Presentation with GM

Ready for Primer!!!

Sealed Ready for Paint!!

The General Motors design objective was to create an innovative emerging market vehicle using the E-flex propulsion system. Daewoo is currently a rebadged vehicle for GM and is only really sold in Korea. My concept was to reinvent the brand similar to how GM has reinvented Cadillac and Buick. To do so, I decided to bring Daewoo to a market that has never seen this brand and so, I choose Brazil. Daewoo could then be designed specifically for this country and turn profits for GM in this emerging market.

Moistscape installation

2008-08-19T10:08:00.000-07:00

Design / Fabrication: Lauren Crahan, John Hartmann, Corey Yurkovich.

As an opportunity to explore the play of the natural within the artificial, the design team constructed a three-dimensional steel matrix inset with panels of living mosses and enclosed within by translucent volume.The matrix emerges from the walls and hovers over a groundscape of recycled rubber, which is as springy and giving underfoot as the mosses are to the touch of a hand.The spatial configuration of these verdant planes - they vary in size, height and proximity to the visitor - creates a range of possible encounters. There is no designated path to follow, rather a space to explore where the underside is as telling as the topside. Moistscape allows visitors to experience the play in scale from the miniature of the floating mossy landscape to the actual one of the installation as a whole

ZARAGOZA BRIDGE PAVILLION

2008-07-27T11:48:00.000-07:00

ZARAGOZA BRIDGE PAVILION [ZARAGOZA, SPAIN]
The Zaragoza Bridge Pavilion is organized around 4 main objects, or “pods” that perform both as structural elements and as spatial enclosures. The Bridge Pavilion design stems from the detailed examination and research into the potential of a diamond shaped section - which offers both structural and programming properties. As in the case of space-frame structures, a diamond section represents a rational way if distributing forces along a surface.

Remote Control Carpainting?

2008-07-25T12:53:00.000-07:00

I found this on Autoblog.com

The British are good for all sorts of car-centric goodness. When they're not busy building zippy little monsters remarkably ill-suited to their weather, they're... making art. English artist Ian Cook took a few remote controlled cars, drove them through paint, and then used them to paint a Camaro.
