Kierstin Dent has been working on making this idea real.
Explore Phase | Design Refinement
Posted by Kierstin Dent

After meeting with Cecilia and building out the design map, the next step in the process was refining her original “napkin sketch” into a more developed concept render.

Using the key features, materials, colors, and functionality we discussed, I created a set of refined orthographic sketches that clearly define the design and show where each feature lives on the product. These renderings help translate Cecilia’s original idea into a format that can be understood from both a design and engineering perspective while still staying true to her vision.

This phase is an important step in the development process because it bridges imagination and real-world production. With the concept now more clearly defined, the project will be handed off to our Advanced Visualization team, who will begin creating 3D CAD models in preparation for prototyping.

It’s exciting to see Cecilia’s idea continue evolving from an initial sketch into something tangible and buildable!

Little Inventor, Big Ideas
Posted by Kierstin Dent

04/23 Zoom Meet!

One of the most exciting parts of the Little Inventors program is getting the opportunity to collaborate directly with young inventors and help bring their ideas to life through design and engineering.

This week, I met my Little Inventor, Cecilia, over Zoom for the very first time. She walked me through her invention idea, explaining the features she wanted included, how she imagined it working, and some of the key colors and materials she envisioned for the final design.

After our conversation, I organized all of her ideas into a design map to help lay out the important features and direction for the refined concept. This map will serve as the foundation for the next stage of the design process as I begin bringing Cecilia’s imagination to life.

I’m excited to continue developing her idea and share more of the journey along the way!
