While at New Deal Design, I helped create OKU, a new "personal skin coach."
I took the external form factor created by ID and the functional requirements for the product to create the architecture and design for manufacturing needed to make this a reality.
Development highlights:
- Internal component design for strength, function, and stability
- Assembly process and procedure to allow for functional testing and analysis before ultrasonic welding
- Kinematic mounting of internal optical elements for repeatable use under drop conditions
- Optical analysis of light rays to ensure sufficient illumination and proper focus
- Design for ingress protection to IP64 standards
- Design to satisfy UL requirements
- Battery sizing and sourcing
