Product Design
Sip is a hydration-tracking water bottle that targets health-oriented Gen Z consumers. Sip’s drink detection software includes an app that gamifies hydration and promotes community through leaderboards and daily goals.
Sip was my final project at the Management & Technology Summer Institute at UPenn (M&TSI). I worked with a group of 4 other students where we learned how to build a high tech venture from ideation to IPO. I personally was responsible for creating the CAD model, rendering, and animation on Solidworks; the UI/UX Design; the branding; the financial statement; and marketing research. I also worked with my group on the Arduino hardware, pitch deck, and G2M Strategy.
Custom Laser Cut Spotify Keychains
Generated $750+ in profit
I started this project as a school fundraiser for my robotics team. I noticed that a universal activity students at my school love is to listen and share music, which inspired me to sell keychains that you can scan to share a song, podcast, playlist, etc. Originally, I prototyped the keychains to be 3D printed. However, I later switched to laser cutting them so I could offer them in more materials (6) and to be more time efficient.
Uber Global Hackathon
I participated in the Uber Global Hackathon (Coding Section) with three friends from M&TSI. We worked together to pitch a Virtual Bus Stop that pinpoints the most efficient pickup location determined by a machine-learning trained algorithm, for nearby riders to improve on the current Uber Car Pool, minimizing detours and heavy traffic congestion in large metropolises.
Along with the UI/UX design and app, we also did research on ridesharing in large cities such as New York and came up with long-term projections.
