I’m an industrial designer from Canada…
Passionate about creating new products and finding creative solutions to user and client problems
accomplished in design and engineering, and able to come in to a project at any stage, from early concept all the way to complex production.
After oral surgery, a feeding vessel can be a temporary method for delivering nutrition, particularly when chewing and sucking is discouraged due to sensitive tissues or stitches. This vessel, is a specialized bottle, that facilitates the consumption of blended foods with minimal effort and ease, making it an effective way to ensure adequate nutrition during the recovery period https://www.twine.net/signin https://www.twine.net/signin
Client: THE Medical Sector: Healthcare Equipment (Institutional) Role: Industrial Designer / Project Lead Tools: SolidWorks Material & Process Selection ________________________________________ 🧠 The Challenge: Functional Tub, Critical Flaws THE Medical’s Aquarius Recumbent Tub was designed for institutional use—allowing caregivers to bathe limited or non-ambulatory patients allowing the use of patient lifts or stretchers. However, the product faced serious issues in the field: 🚫 Installation Failures: The original design was a boxy single-piece unit that repeatedly failed to fit through standard doorways, staircases, or elevators. Despite pre-sale measurements, many units were undeliverable—resulting in: • Cancelled sales • Returned made-to-order products • Logistical and financial losses 🚫 Patient Resistance: Field reports revealed that dementia patients were refusing to enter the tub, fearfully describing it as “coffin-like.” This created: • Stressful experiences for patients and caregivers • Disruption to care procedures • Negative association with an essential daily activity 🚫 Manufacturing Limitations: Fiberglass production introduced high rejection rates due to molding inconsistencies. Patch repairs were increasingly needed, leading to: • Increased labor and material waste • Slower production cycles • Quality concerns and visual inconsistencies ________________________________________ 🎯 Redesign Goals • Eliminate installation failures through a modular approach • Improve patient perception and caregiver usability • Recommend and implement a scalable, consistent manufacturing process • Deliver a production-ready design on a tight timeline ________________________________________ 🔧 My Role: End-to-End Ownership I was hired as the sole and lead industrial designer to completely re-engineer the product. My work spanned: • Industrial design • Mechanical engineering in SolidWorks • Material and manufacturing process selection • Design for strict tooling constraints and production scalability
