Steering Pencil | Drawing Machines | Spring 2016

This drawing tool developed out of the concept of being ambidextrous and wanting to use a pencil in a non traditional position. The tool mimics that of a steering wheel while the wires act like a shock system in tires.

Follow The Leader | Form Studio | Fall 15

A group project centered around Conditional design. We designed a set rules that would produce a piece of work similar to the one above. 

Prints of Who I Am | Form Studio | Fall 2015

Project revolved around creating a template that allows people to re-create their thumbprint. This concept explores identity and how we define ourselves in an abstract context. 

Hello followers of FragileStudios.  Today our Business of Design team started an indiegogo campaign for our startup called Thrive.

Thrive is a business project developed by a team of four students in the Design MFA program at California College of the Arts, San Francisco. Chris, Ramune, Sarah, and Wioleta created Thrive to foster empathy for the environment by helping you keep your plants healthy and happy.

Do you love plants, but have a hard time keeping them alive? Are you too busy between work, living in the cloud, & basejumping to remember to check on them? Do you need a reminder to water them? We are here to help!

Thrive is a low cost, low impact, sensor and app that gives your plant a personality and helps you visualize its moisture and light levels. By tracking your plant’s vitals over time, the app helps you gain insight into its needs. The sensor is compatible with all types of plants, so you don’t mistakenly drown your rare Bolivian cactus or undersun your voluptuous Hibiscus acetosella.
