- As a Full-Time Designer. I worked on Myant’s commercial product line called SKIIN. 
- Creating the app from the ground up which involved conducting research to align design scope, sketching initial concepts, drawing wireframes, creating prototypes, user testing, designing the visuals of the UI, and working with developers to make the design a reality.

- Working as a Product Design Co-Op in the Future of Play department, my role was to develop a new ecosystem of products for the Transformers Brand. The project involved basic research, conceptualization by sketches and multiple mock-ups for idea visualization; hence developing a complete user experience.

- Worked on developing a conceptual app for Microsoft Hololens using Unity and Vuforia. The project involved intermediate level app development, app user testing, preparation for presentation of the idea and successful presentation at an internal tech event.

- To facilitate the current Industrial Design Undergraduate students in improving their current GPA and help them focus, organize and better present their work.

- Conducted in-depth user research on existing customers for Bahco products, a gardening tools company which is a subsidiary of Snap-on. The project scope was to discover the new uses, new trends, innovations, and opportunities of gardening tools within the fields of viticulture, pomology, and landscaping.

- Worked on constructing a large scale human-powered vehicle that generates power using basic playground mechanisms. The final model was completed and unveiled at Savannah Side Walk Arts festival.

- In these 7 months, I worked on two quite similar but technically disparate entertainment systems.
- The first one was a Multi-Activity Play System (M.A.P.S) for kids with the age range of 5-12 years.  While working on this product, it involved in-depth research of activities found in similar systems in market and it also required thorough material based research to incorporate the activates that we had suggested.  
- The second one was a rain dance entertainment system for people of all ages.  This project not only involved discotheque like interior design with focus on light placement and DJ booth design, but It also involved incorporating various sprinkler systems to aid to the music inside the entertainment system.
- While working on both the projects, interaction with suppliers and manufactures on field as well as on call was an everyday affair.

- During this initial phase of work at Lumium Innovations, my focus of work was on strong research based projects. I also enhanced my CAD modeling capabilities along with rendering skills both on computer as well as hand based sketching skills. I took part in brainstorming and conceptualization for projects like entertainment equipment, consumer electronic and packaging design based products.
