The Disassembly of a Product

Photos of the components being organized into different categories

The deconstruction of any mechanical product can be quite complex, and requires a clear system of identification and organization. For an assignment we were tasked to do just that, and create an exploded view of the product. To approach this disassembly a bill of materials was created alongside photographs of each component. This project taught me the importance of documentation and systematic processes. Approaching such a task with no basis of a plan to record all the incoming data, would result in a confusing result. So because we were organized and had a clear method to proceed it resulted in a clear exploded view that represents the product.

Python Data Representation

Being able to understand and communicate large amounts of abstract data is an important skill to possess as a designer. During the course of Data Analytics, I learned how to use Python as a tool to do that exact thing. The goal of the course was to be able to clearly show complex data in an orderly fashion. In the analysis I conducted I looked at how temperature and concentration of nitrogen-dioxide in the atmosphere are correlated. While the results are not concrete by any means, this demonstrates my ability to deal with a large quantity of information.
