Anti-anxiety
dog crate

Problem

Anxious rescue dog jumps out of the crate when alarmed - usually in front of traffic. Not safe for all around.

Solution

Lo-fi prototyes of various crate extensions, which he could duck behind when startled - with the added bonus of it being too high for him to jump out of.

Wind proof fence
on a budget

Problem

Traditional fence panels catch the wind and cause teh wall to collapse - Slatted venetian fence panels allow wind to flow through, but are very expensive.

Solution

Sketched out and budgeted all the timber for a DIY project in Figma.

Nike ‘Crocs’

Problem

We are a no-shoes-inside house. However I need to constantly go back-and-forth between the seperate garage out back, so I waste time putting on shoes over 20 times a day.

I don’t do Crocs®

Solution

Cut the back off a pair of old gardening shoes so that I can slip them on easily. They live by the back door.

I later find out Nike has released these commercially
