I worked as a product design intern on the Apple Softgoods team. The softgoods team is responsible for making cases and accessories for current and future Apple products.
As a product design intern, I designed, tested, and fabricated a tool to aid in transporting and presenting iPhone accessories. I worked with vendors to produce the tooling and assembly line required to manufacture the tool in higher quality and volume than I could produce in-house.
I also collaborated with a team to design, prototype, and test an accessory for a future product launch. Additionally, I designed a series of tests and a test fixture that could be used to evaluate the reliability and other desired objectives between different prototypes. I worked with vendors to produce the test fixture so that it could easily be adopted at the manufacturing site to obtain results quickly.
At Apple I expanded my skills in product design, making consumer-facing goods, working with textiles, prototyping, and working with vendors.
