NEX PLAYGROUND
Playground is an active gaming system designed for the whole family. The playfully simple cube was inspired by the nostalgia of toys and consoles, but modernized for the next generation. The joyous palette emphasizes the energy and movement of the Nex gaming library and gives the brand a distinct identity.

The subtle wink utilizes the hardware elements as graphical features, giving the product a strong personality. To address privacy, a “monocle” was included on the power cable that magnetically attaches over the camera.

DANDI FERTILITY
A holistic system for individuals undergoing IVF care, Dandi provides comfort and support for the 80% of fertility patients who experience clinical levels of anxiety and depression.
The system centers around a soft, flexible belt with a cutout that helps users align and locate the proper injection site for progesterone. It also holds interchangeable heating and cooling pads to ease discomfort before and after hormone injections.
Designed with empathy, Dandi transforms a clinical routine into a more supportive and dignified experience. The form, materials, and interactions were carefully considered to bring a sense of calm and care to a challenging journey.

AERO
Aero offers a reimagined air travel experience, blending the exclusivity of private aviation with the efficiency of commercial service. Designed for discerning travelers, the Aero jet cabin is an elevated environment that prioritizes comfort, simplicity, and modern luxury.

Each aircraft was renovated and given a second life. With hand-stitched Italian leather seating, soft-touch finishes, and custom ambient lighting, Aero creates a seamless and calming flight experience.

From booking to arrival, Aero’s design system curates the entire journey. There are no crowded terminals, no security lines, and no overhead bins. Every interaction is considered, reinforcing a premium, human-centric brand that values time, space, and clarity.

OPENWATER

The open-source platform developed by Openwater helps diagnose and treat cancer, strokes, and other illnesses at a fraction of the cost of existing multi-million-dollar MRI machines. The Open-Motion and Open-LIFU platforms are the first tools Openwater is offering researchers to expand access and continue research that may treat and diagnose hundreds of other health conditions.

Open-Motion is the diagnostic platform in the ecosystem. A collection of eight cameras and a laser can quickly attach to any part of the body to read blood flow. These readings help non-invasively identify strokes and other conditions by analyzing blood flow through the veins.

The cameras are housed on a flexible board encased in foam, allowing the system to conform to the body. This design ensures that no ambient light interferes with the laser.

Open-LIFU aids in treatment using Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. Sub-millimeter precision is required to properly focus the ultrasound, so a dot pattern allows each unit to be precisely located using a 3D scan of the body. The Open-LIFU platform uses a scalable transducer module, enabling infinite configurations to conform to any part of the body.
