ROLE
Responsible for designing HP's Pavilion and Pavilion X360 laptop up to DFM phase
DOWN TO DETAIL
For Pavilion x360, it was critical to push progressive design language from previous models.
There was a lot of effort into getting the hinge to right detail when it is closed, opened, and when flipped 360 degrees for tablet mode.
ELECTRIC GRADIENT
Instead of using a standard flat gradient, we experimented with physical thread wrapping on black cardboard to create a tangible gradient effect.
This method blended two similar-toned colors with a highlight, forming a refreshing and unique gradient distinct from everyday designs. After exploration, the concept was digitized and handed off to the CMF team for further refinement.
SOUND BY BANG & OLUFSEN
HP signed a collaboration with Bang & Olufsen during the time I was present. I was able to work with this premium audio company and see how to implement their unique speaker hole patterns into all HP laptop line-ups, Pavilion, Envy, and Spectre
