Dyson Trac Speaker
*not affiliated with the brand
This speaker was made over the course of 14 weeks. From conceptualizing a creative vision to learning how to build a functioning speaker I had to hold the perspective of both a designer and an engineer

Ideation
I incorporated elements of Dyson's brand identity into my sketches
Creating mock-ups out of 10 pound foam helped me visualize the size and understand the form of the speaker.

I ultimately chose this design direction because it's symmetrical geometric design fit Dyson's design language and had enough space to fit in the electronic speaker components.
CMF Board
Protoype #1
This was my first low-fidelity prototype. I milled holes and pockets where the internal parts of the speaker were to be placed.

radiator
pocket for driver
pocket for circuit board and battery
pocket for driver
Protoype #2
On my second low-fidelity prototype, I planned out how the components would be safely and tightly secured to the speaker body. Creating a sealed interior chamber was important for the speaker to sound good.
holes to screw driver into
ledge for panel to sit on
hole to screw in panels
hole through interior of speaker to improve sound quality
