I am a graduate of San Jose State University with a degree in industrial design. I have worked on products, graphics, videography, and illustrations in design teams and freelance. I currently work as a freelance designer, in a design team that creates and markets products, and as a Project Specialist and Adminstrator for the MakerShop at Moorpark College. I am enthusiastic about creating sustainable products that are accessible to everyone in the community. In my experience, I've found that collaborating with clients intimately throughout the design process creates the best product. I have a knack for problem solving in design, especially on digital platforms. When I'm not designing, you can find me playing the piano, crocheting, creating another Spotify playlist, or taking my dog hiking in the Santa Monica mountains. https://arianna-arias.squarespace.com/photography-1 daily 0.75 2022-01-27 https://arianna-arias.squarespace.com/portfolio daily 1.0 2022-01-26 https://arianna-arias.squarespace.com/portfolio/project-one-9hg6t monthly 0.5 2021-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cabe3be1fdee391c040013/8e53e0ee-0517-4853-82da-29715cfcb402/F2-Final+Renderings+%26+Descriptions+%281%29.jpg Portfolio - Robot Redesign https://arianna-arias.squarespace.com/portfolio/water-hydration-system monthly 0.5 2021-10-22 https://arianna-arias.squarespace.com/portfolio/pill-dispenser monthly 0.5 2021-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cabe3be1fdee391c040013/627648a5-9555-4a4a-9a92-b53cdd4f024a/Ari_Pill_Dispenser+Wireframes.jpg Portfolio - Pill Dispenser - App Wireframes The app allows users to control the pill’s description and quantity, to set alarms and organize a schedule with an interactive calendar, and allows users to connect with their medical providers. https://arianna-arias.squarespace.com/portfolio/electric-cabinet monthly 0.5 2022-01-17 https://arianna-arias.squarespace.com/portfolio/water-filter monthly 0.5 2022-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cabe3be1fdee391c040013/1642460873111-0R03JS06BFF8UQJ03UYM/unsplash-image-90bvtgQfL3M.jpg Portfolio - Water Filter - User Persona Name: Kayla Residence: North Dakota, USA Occupation: Data Analyst Hobbies: Playing with Daughter at the Park, Hiking Kayla lives close to the North Dakota Keystone XL Oil Pipeline that will be active next year. She wants to be prepared for the eventual pipeline’s malfunction, which already occured once in 2016 with a similar oil pipeline. 4 years ago, she was not prepared and suffered financially and physically from drinking the toxic water. Now that she has a daughter, she wants to be able to protext her as well. She wants to be able to test her water with ease and filter it out if necessary to create drinking water for her daughter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cabe3be1fdee391c040013/26d61f3e-7e0b-4875-bffb-89b9ed83be0c/filterpic.jpg Portfolio - Water Filter - Inside the main body, there are individual layers that filter the water in seven methods. These methods include: Micro Ceramic Filter to take out sediments, heavy metal, rust, bacteria, and parasites. Ceramic Filter with chlorine prevents bacteria growth, and ionizes water molecules. Ion Exchange Resin removes metal ions, and overall softens the water. Anti-Bacterial Silver Ion disinfects and sanitizes water. Alkaline Medium neutralizes pH level effectively. Kinetic Degradation Fluxion Activated Carbon Layer oxidizes and reduces chlorine levels. Membrane Medium discards colloids and bacteria. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cabe3be1fdee391c040013/73d5c60b-0197-41df-8f17-222d097b939d/LOFIwireframes.png Portfolio - Water Filter - Low Fidelity Wireframes Having an app that allows users to easily check results of their water, interact with other users, and pin locations of where they have tested water allows for an active community to exponentially grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cabe3be1fdee391c040013/1642547365698-UZTSRILDNIZDDPGRQ5BW/exploded%2Bview.jpg Portfolio - Water Filter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cabe3be1fdee391c040013/1642547281099-BJGYVEUWQAFQFCDAMSNW/waterorthos.jpg Portfolio - Water Filter Dimensions: 7.50” x 2” x 2.50” https://arianna-arias.squarespace.com/portfolio/products-projects monthly 0.5 2022-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cabe3be1fdee391c040013/68c5eb53-91b2-4b84-bd83-da48312b25dd/Wireframes+refined.jpg Portfolio - More Project Experience - Kin - Falling in Love During a Pandemic | Fall 2020 My team and I were tasked with creating and designing an app that benefits users living in the pandemic. After a general survey, we found that most individuals were feeling lonely during the shift to staying at home. We designed an application that allows users dedicated to finding love, to listen to podcasts, share content on a newfeed, and build a community where they might just fall in love. We created personas, user journey maps, sketched ideas and storyboarded, drew low fidelity wireframes, and created high fidelity wireframes using Figma and Adobe XD. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cabe3be1fdee391c040013/6e2d4e8d-49b2-4cb4-8fd3-052bd009d06e/buggy+pic.png Portfolio - More Project Experience - The Barbie Buggy | Spring 2021 For our final visualization project, we were tasked with creating a buggy in Solidworks using 3D sketches. I researched different types of buggies and decided to design a sand buggy that would have two front sand tires and two back paddle tires. In my research, I found that most buggies are designed for the male demographic, and wanted to design in a progressively different aesthetic. All parts are colored hot pink with a contrasting black to make the vehicle bright, bubbly, and loud. The buggy has a sun roof with a pink tinted heart that is mirrored in the tires, front grill, and seats as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cabe3be1fdee391c040013/aaf21c33-d33c-4a49-bd21-5c7d010efe4c/IMG_1334.jpeg Portfolio - More Project Experience - The Cardboard Compartment | Spring 2020 Our class was tasked with creating a cardboard product that utilizes Adobe Illustrator and the laser cutter, without using any adhesives. My friend was facing an issue storing her expensive belts safely and without damage. I wanted to create a hanging device where she could store belts, and hang other apparel when needed. In Illustrator, I drew plans to make a two hanger compartment that has shelves to store four belts. In order to create strong walls that could hold the belts, I created t-joints that go through the top part of the compartment. These t-joints also serve a second purpose as outer hangers for other apparel. This solved another solution for my friend as she can now hang swimsuits to dry without ruining her cloth hangers. Once my plans were completed in Illustrator, I used the laser cutter to score the cardboard so that I could easily create the compartment without using any adhesives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cabe3be1fdee391c040013/486fbdfd-4dcd-4e79-bf13-2c31a5584a0b/bike.png Portfolio - More Project Experience - The Safari Bicycle | Fall 2020 For our final visualization project, we were tasked with creating a bicycle in Solidworks using 2D sketches. I researched different types of bicycles and we met as a group to critique our sketches and finalize our designs. I created a travel road bike that features thin wheels, a wider frame with an attached cup holder, an inclusive widely-curved seat, and cool, wavy handle grips to match the relaxed aesthetic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cabe3be1fdee391c040013/0a4a8eea-e16a-4652-b912-d019b6e3362a/tense1.jpg Portfolio - More Project Experience - The Tensegrity Tent | Spring 2018 During my time as a member of the Moorpark College Engineering AIMS2 cohort, capstone project was to design and build a product and present to our organization. My team researched the principle of tensegrity and decided to design and build a tensegrity tent to prove that the principle could be used to design future housing structures. Tensegrity is a design principle that applies when a discontinuous set of compression elements is opposed and balanced by a continuous tensile force, thereby creating an internal prestress that stabilizes the entire structure. We used wooden dowels and bungee cable to create the tension in the structure. We sketched, prototyped, and designed a pentagon design as seen in the image. This model proved that our design was successful, so we built an eight foot tall structure that we used to compete in California Polytechnic State University’s Annual Design Village Competition. Even under strong wind conditions, the structure withstood the stress and tension, and proved to be a successful product for proving the principle.
