Suction Saver

The last few days have been a flurry of activity and a few setbacks for the Suction Suit Construction. Steve has had to sew, take apart, resew and take apart again....but that is all part of the creative process! And if you take a closer look in one of the pictures there is a small plaque that Steve keeps on his desk that reads " It's kind of fun to do the Impossible" !

Designer Steve worked through several design concepts to come up with a pattern and process for creating the suction saver's critical feature, the suction cups!

Steve has laid out all the patterns for the Suction Saver suit and is beginning to sew component pieces together, the suit is coming to life!

Our team members Steve and Brian visited our inventor Jaxon at his school to take measurements for the suction suit and talked to Jaxon and his class about the design process!

Steve is working on the initial designs for the Suction Saver Suit, gathering  supplies for construction and working out a pattern and measurement plan, stay tuned!

Steve Elliott, Creative Design Director, and the Team at PTI held a kickoff meeting with Little Inventor Jaxon and his teacher Sarah today.   Jaxon shared what inspired the design, and the features it has, and how it can help people.  Steve created an inspiration board to share with Jaxon and reviewed design features of the suit. Next steps will be to get measurements from Jaxon so that a pattern can be developed for constructing the suit!
