Working with representatives from General Dynamics, I was tasked with designing a vehicle that would support troops on land by offering a swift ship-to-shore mode of transportation. I designed an Ekranoplan, a vehicle that glides over a large body of water utilizing the aerodynamic "ground effect" to substantially reduce drag as well as evade radar and sonar detection. The vehicle also has the ability to traverse quickly underwater when oceanic conditions aren't optimal for gliding over. Its purpose is to conduct reconnaissance and supply missions.

Working with representatives from the American Chemistry Council, I was tasked with designing a mobility vehicle made from recyclable polymers. I designed an Amtrak branded vehicle that worked in collaboration with a high-speed rail network. The purpose is to give people and/or packages and mail a direct location to location solution. The vehicle would arrive at the train station then proceed to board the train serving as the passenger's private quarters. It would then disembark the train and bring the passenger to their requested location.

Working with representatives from Volkswagen, I was tasked with designing the interior of a vehicle that would support a family of five, three of which being teenagers growing up to soon leave the house. They have a high income and live in the suburbs an hour away from the city. During this project I worked with an exterior partner. The vehicle has an interactive IP with a surface that moves inwards and outwards, which may serve multiple functions. The rear seats also move around to become staggered to increase occupant space, and the OLED windows are interactable, fitted with activities that incorporates what can be seen outside.
