Pen Protoype
Inspiration Object: acrylic puzzle box.
From the puzzle box I wanted to take the idea of an actual puzzle and apply it to the pen.
First Design:
Second/Final Design:
Prototype:
The pen mimics the puzzle concept of the acrylic puzzle box. It also shares he idea of a puzzle that contains or goes around another object. The puzzle box can be built up around other layers of itself or objects can be put inside. Similarly the puzzle feature of he pen surrounds the functional part of the pen which also surrounds the ink which to many is the beginning of potential writings and drawings that may be precious to it's owner. The puzzle box may contain precious items the puzzle pen may create precious things.
Who is this pen for? Anyone with a constructive curiosity who loves puzzles.
When and where this pen will be used? Wherever a pen or small distraction is needed.
Market comparisons - Most puzzle pens seem to be much more contained as they do not have removable pieces. A common puzzle pen in the maze pen where you can navigate a small silver ball up and down a maze contained inside the pen.

Pens pens pens...
My initial designs were based on my design for a puzzle box toy for PD 410. After a few puzzle ideas my pen designs gravitated towards new mechanisms for the pen.

Inspiration
Shoes. That's all I have to say.
I love high heeled shoes, they are a passion that I rarely get to fully indulge in. The hardest part for me is that I have HUGE feet and it is painful to see so many beautiful shoes walk around the world in sizes that are way too small for my feet. It amazes me that there can be so many designs out there and it inspires me to think of the next best thing that could possibly be thought of. You have to stand out and when you're designing shoes or anything else. You have to find a new way to stand out. Shoes are a passion, but designing is a lifestyle and a passion for one thing can push you in many different directions and even if you don't end up exactly where you think you want to be your passion can help you out no matter what.
