Many individuals use their laptops for things that can be done equally as efficiently on their mobile device, such as emails, zoom meetings, slack messaging, and even excel. Screen size, power, and security of a mobile device lend an opportunity to bridge the experience of a laptop to mobile. The result, an established ergonomic design that is compact and useful for working and creative professionals. This design allows the user to use the landscape viewer mode on their device for a more in-depth experience. The keyboard size offers a relaxed and natural approach that users are familiar with, making it easy to use.
How I inspired the Nothing Watch Pro.
Process photos of prototypes for Pro and Lite smartwatch , from THE COLLECTION.
Nothing's latest product, Watch Pro, is a testament to the fusion of timeless elegance and cutting-edge technology, inspired by my original watch design. My sleek lines, uncluttered dial, and meticulous attention to detail were presented to them, and these elements seamlessly translated into the minimalist sophistication of Watch Pro. This collaboration showcases the power of design evolution, where innovation and my personal style converge to create a smartwatch that transcends trends, embodying a legacy of excellence.

The Lite & Pro Smartwatch is a modern, minimalistic collection established by an honest design language that promotes form to function. Using clean surfaces and straight edges, the design was created to blend in with the day-to-day user while still being occasion flexible. This collection is also rich in detail and clever technology placement; for example, the Lite design has ECG built into the frame and uses the NMT break as a CMF highlight. This project expresses expertise within the warbles market while also showcasing a fresh approach as an industrial designer.

Creating a game changer, SportFlex.

Inspired by a simple shape, we have transformed it into a functional and stylish band. The iconic pill shape serves as the foundation of the design, influencing every aspect and ensuring perfect proportion for functionality. The pill's peaks and valleys enhance ventilation and comfort forward experience. The sculpted nose acts as an integrated release point and secure slider. This pill-shaped motif is consistently reflected in the band's details, including the metal hardware, creating a cohesive aesthetic that embodies the Whoop brand. The use of silicone elevates the design, offering durability, flexibility, and a strong CMF (Color, Material, Finish) unlocking a new story and experience.

Sustainability initiative, a system of active change.
End result is a dual approach to sustainability with an active users experience of planting packaging tabs.
Storytelling images for sustainability initiatives ( SI Color Theory) attached projects. In production.
Using plantable packaging as a sustainability initiative can help address several environmental issues such as Climate change, Biodiversity loss, Water scarcity and Air pollution. By using biodegradable materials such as paper, wood or even fruit-based materials in packaging, these materials can be composted at end of their life, reducing the amount of plastic waste in the environment and reducing the need for new materials to be produced. When the biodegradable packaging is planted in the soil, it can grow into new plants which can help to restore habitats, sequester carbon, and reduce water usage. Plantable packaging also can support local agriculture and farmers, in addition to being a way to educate people about the importance of sustainability.

Capturing cinematic moments in San Francisco.
Footage of (Subject: Ke'Don Franklin) filming in areas of downtown San Francisco.
Short clips filmed by KeDon captures a minute of a golden hour in San Francisco. It was created for composition, technique, and pure creative passion. In the video, he finds a way to display the beauty of a Bay Area sunset in his local area of the Financial District in San Francisco on a clear day. His passion for creating stretches far beyond industrial design and shows his general interest in learning new things that act as a tool for creative expression but could also tailor back to his profession and output.
