For the fall semester of senior year, the project assigned to me was to create a product using a given style- in this case “High Tech”. It also needed to be produced multiple times. I saw this as an opportunity to flex my knowledge and skills with electronics as well as prove my ability to collaborate. I personally selected the components and custom designed the PCB. I then partnered with a Computer Sciences major to program the device while I completed the design.

Cube is the result of this effort. It is a compact, battery powered ambient and direct light. The upper body cycles through soft lighting options and can be dimmed for use at night. Surrounding the base is a more direct light that acts as under-glow while stationary, and can be used as a flashlight in a pinch. Cube can be cycled to have both the ambient and direct light on, just ambient light on, or just direct light on, all with just a simple push of the top.
