Internship Progress 2

My summer internship is wrapping up! In this post you can see how we have defined our product vision and how it is starting to come to life. What started off as one product has developed into three separate but interconnected products. They will be the Utility Shelf, Camping Sink, and the Utility Strap. We see these products working great independently, but also coming together to create a center for camping activity. The Utility Shelf acts as the base for bringing the other two products together. We started designing the shelf first and have taken it through the prototype stage and hope to have a final version out soon. The other two products will be developed later as “accessories” to the shelf. We’re excited to see the results, and to hear what people think!

Internship Progress

Luca Harrell here with an update on my summer internship at Montie Design!  In this post you can see some of the market research and initial concepts I’ve done to identify common camping needs and define a product direction for this project.  While I’ll admit that researching isn’t the most exciting part of design, it has been a very helpful and integral part of the process.  From this research, we’ve identified the need for products that offer both stability and portability.  Initial concepts began with these two factors in mind.  We want this product to feel rock solid while in use but be able to pack away to fit anywhere. Sound like a challenge?

2012 Summer Internship Underway

Hello, my name is Luca Harrell and I am currently a summer intern at Montie Design. As the winner of the 2012 Montie Gear student competition I’ve been asked to develop my contest submission into a product that will be added to the Montie Gear product line. I’m very excited about this opportunity and am equally excited to share my progress with you. Through weekly blog posts I’ll document the process of my product’s development from concept to prototype through pictures, sketches, and 3D models. In today’s post you can see how I kicked of the project with a project brief, a rough project plan, and research. Feel free to give feedback or comment on what you see. Hope you enjoy!
