THE MOXIE WALKER
The Moxie Walker is my undergraduate Thesis Project. First and foremost, it is a walking frame which
helps the elderly and people with mobility issues increase stability while walking. Unlike other walking
frames, it has a seated position and two internal hub motors which allows the user to get around a city
without relying on cars or public transportation.

FINAL PROTOTYPE
The Moxie Walker final prototype is a 1/5th scale model. Parts were 3D printed using SLA additive
manufacturing, then finished by sanding, priming, and painting.

STRIDE-R

FINAL PROTOTYPE
Strider is a lower-body suit designed for
Paraplegics utilizing the Nobel-Award winning
material, Graphene.
The project: Design a commercialized product
in the health care industry using an emerging
material, Graphene. Through research, ideation’s,
concept development and ironing out the details,
we decided to design a suit for Paraplegics.
For the design, there are 3 motors at each of
the pivot-joint locations (hip, knee, and ankle),
combined with a small chip embedded in the
lower-spine to read electrical singles sent from
the brain to the legs - it is programed to simulate
human gait (walking patterns).
The final prototype
was constructed out of
polystyrene, which we drape
formed and molded on a
mannequin legs.
Black nylon tights were used
to simulate an opaque layer
of Graphene.
The motors were formed
separately using a vac
forming machine. These
were then fused to the
styrene and bondo was used
to seal the cracks.
Lastly, parts were primed,
masked, and spray painted.

BAYER POINT OF PURCHASE COMPETITION
THREE
VERSATILISPLAY
Versatilisplay was designed to be sold to as many Bayer’s clients/
retailers as possible. This was a challenge because each client required
a different dimension due to pallet size. We solved this problem by using
a base and cap, which not only changes the dimensions, but also allows
the retailers to customize how they want the display configured in their
store. The display can work together with its base and top as a full display
(tower), alone as a kickstand or at the end of an aisle.
The shelves are removable, allowing each store to customize how many
of each product is sold depending on their sales.
The display itself is made out of 100% recyclable cardboard and utilizes
water-based ink for easy recycling. The entire display can be thrown in
the recycling bin.
Tooling for the display is also low-cost, as only 1 die is required to
manufacture the display.
Bayer sponsored a Point of Purchase design competition with Humber College. The competition
required us to design an innovative, low-cost, sustainable Point of Purchase display. We designed the
Versatilisplay and placed 2nd - winning $2000.
This was a team project, with my partners, Keith Millar and Randi Burgos.

UMBRA DESIGN COMPETITION
Umbra hosted a design competition at Humber for the
Industrial Design program. Students were put in groups of
2, and each team was given 2 manufacturing processes,
and a specific area of design. My partner and I were
given Wire Bending, Wood Forming, and Hooks and
Organization as our area of design.
Each shelf is designed to fit to the tension rod, and other
shelves. You can customize how many shelves you want
to put onto the system.
The design is low-cost, elegant, and can organize any
locker with style!

DECODE - BRAILLE READER
FIVE
MANUFACTURING
decode is a portable text to braille mechanical reader. The
reader is dragged across a page while the scanner picks up
the text and converts this data into braille on the top surface.
This is done by small mechanical arms pushing up against
the soft Desmopan plastic.
decode has 7 injection molded
parts. All the parts are made up
of ABS/Bayblend except the top.
The top surface is overmolded
with Desmopan to provide a
moldable surface to display
the braille. Other components
include 2 sprint-loaded hinges, 2
circuit boards, 4 fasteners, and 2
washers.
DECODE is designed so that
when the top part is fastened
to the bottom part, everything
is sandwiched between - this
allows decode to use less
fasteners.

HUMBER DESIGN EXHIBIT
The concept for the Humber Design Village at the Toronto Home Show is to show case Humber’s
design community and exhibit student’s projects in a gallery style setting. The Humber Design Village
is a representation of the N building as a sustainable design collective – with the addition of “houselike” huts displaying 2D work, and podiums displaying 3D projects of all the design programs at the
school.

SOLIDWORKS DETAILS
These podiums are flexible in which they showcase models above and process work held below in drawers, which
can be easily switched out for secondary use. The exhibit focuses on versatility, sustainability, and cohesiveness
of the design community at Humber, while emphasizing and welcoming guests to the Humber experience in a
laneway outdoor village scene. This exhibit will also act as a teaching tool to educate the visitors about student
design at Humber while giving them a chnace to be creative and sketch on the exterior of the humber huts.
