profile (As of October, 2004)

I am a second year Industrial Design student at Purdue University. I have a previous undergraduate degree in Philosophy. My work experience is in museum administration. My main interest is in user centered design with an emphasis on medical technology. I am a strong believer that intelligent design can make positive change in people's lives.

concept

Cogito computing eyewear is designed for an aging population that demands both high style and high functionality. As older generations become more technologically advance their reading eyewear needs change. Cogito eyewear is designed to meet all needs form storage to sight. The unique frame shape facilitates storage while also providing ergonomic ease of handling. Micro-mesh finish lenses reduce glare and make computing and reading less stressful on the eyes and more pleasurable for the user.
