Braille's Bells

Born from the boundaries of affordance and accessibility, Braille's Bells is a doorbell system that celebrates the tactile experience from the carefully crafted handle to the textured buttons. Although at its core, the machine functions as a doorbell, its purpose is to cater to the blind. Through the tactile touch points of the handle and braille buttons, the machine grants the user autonomy to choose their experience.

Fracture Analysis of Climbing Carabiner

A finite element analysis of a climbing carabiner, testing load cases along the major and minor axes and with the gate open and closed to find how much force each configuration can take before failure — and where in the geometry it's most likely to occur.
