Naef Stacker








For this entry into the Naef Toy Competition, we worked with the idea of singular parts fitting together to create a unified whole. The form of the toy evolved from the study of a cylinder and how pieces could fit together to form a cylindrical object.

Hex Blocks







I designed this set of infinitely connecting hexagon components for the first year studio competition. Our prompt was as follows: Using one sheet of 19"x24" Bristol board, no more no less, craft a work of play.

threesixty


threesixty is a simple wooden toy made in a 30-degree wedge.  Each piece has a "nub" and a hole which allow each block to join with others to make various patterns, shapes, and sculptures.  The toy arrives in a screen-printed box with a foam circle to hold the pieces in a round shape, and a ribbon to ease the removal of the toy.
