Design Case Study - Cordless Vacuum

My Role: design execution, engineering integration, production-ready CAD development & visualization

Stepping into the project at a critical mid-stage juncture, my role was to shepherd the design through its final mechanical builds (P2 & P3) and secure design intent through to Tooling Release Approval (TRA). This required rebuilding the design from scratch in CAD to reconcile the original industrial design aesthetic with a tightening mechanical envelope, and successfully negotiating critical DFM constraints with engineering without compromising visual intent. Additionally, I spearheaded the complete redesign of the floor nozzle, packaging a highly complex, top-of-the-line mechanical system into our smallest and highest-performing footprint to deliver a cohesive, production-ready product.

P3 Design Refinement

Translation of ID intent into “tool-ready” DFM optimized design CAD

P3 Floor Nozzle Redesign

Redesign of the “Turbo Roll” floor nozzle & translation of ID intent into a “tool-ready” DFM optimized design

Approved TRA Design
