Design Lead

Product

Turn table

Goal

This project was completed to highlight Pensar’s design capabilities while also strengthening the team’s skills in V-Ray.

Challenge

To design a turn table that makes a design statement and is worthy of being displayed in the home.

Result

The final concept was inspired by spinning vinyl and how sound waves reverberate as they span across space. The understated, anodized aluminum housings allow the grooved glass to act as a guide, leading users’ eyes to the vinyl record.

Nexcimer.

Laser system for coronary + peripheral atherectomy

 

Role

Design Support, Design Lead in Refinement Phases

Team

Design Lead, Design Support, Engineering Lead, Engineering Support and Program Manager

Product

This system uses a laser that is fired through a single use optic fiber catheter for the treatment of peripheral and coronary arterial disease.

Goal

Design the next generation laser ablation system to reflect current design trends and improve usability through prioritizing ergonomics. 

Challenge

To create the ideal user experience it was essential to consider, handle heights and locations, storage, visibility of the display, cleanability, catheter calibration and weight distribution while transporting the cart around a hospital.

Result

This clean, approachable design provides users with intuitive set-up and break down processes while instilling a sense of confidence during transport.  This is achieved through improved control features like front and rear handles, integrated bumpers and locking rotational casters.

Duo.

Epinephrine Reimagined

 

Role

Project Manager / Creative Lead

Team

PM / Creative Lead, Industrial Designer, UI Designer

Product

These devices deliver epinephrine to individuals experiencing life-threatening allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) caused by insect bites or stings, foods, medications, and other causes.

Goal

Design a holistic system that not only enables users ages 10-18 to manage their epinephrine therapy autonomously but, acts as a discreet companion device they’re proud to carry.

Challenge

This project was an internal initiative to expand Farm’s design portfolio.  As a result, the team worked within a condensed timeline and budget.

Result

Leveraging a human- centered design process enabled us to create an optimized system architecture and contemporary brand language, providing users with an emergency medical device that embodies the intuitive and refined experience of a high-end consumer product.

Coolief Pump.

A minimally invasive treatment for chronic pain

 

Role

Design Lead

Team

Design Lead & Program Manager

Product

This system uses water-cooled technology to safely deactivate nerve pain. The non-invasive and non-narcotic solution is an outpatient treatment for those suffering from chronic pain

Goal

Design the next generation pump to align with the newly redesigned generator, creating a cohesive product family.  This was essential as the pump always lives with the generator and is never a stand-alone device.

Challenge

To create an improved user experience, it was imperative to consider the weight distribution, handle location, stability, visibility of the pump and its integration with the generator.

Result

The final design not only embodies the brand language of the generator but, provides an uninterrupted view of the fluid levels and temperature, enabling users to quickly determine if the device is functioning properly. All while providing a generous transport handle and space savings by nesting on top of the generator.
