Developed & Constructed the partition for Google project starline
Product Development
Project Starline redefines video conferencing by rendering users in 3D, creating the illusion of sitting face-to-face. Behind this seamless experience lies a complex integration of technology, including a custom-built partition designed to be both structurally sound and visually refined.
I was tasked with developing the process to build this partition—an engineering and manufacturing challenge requiring a balance of form, function, and material efficiency. The design team had established two concepts that cantilevered off the edge of a table, demanding a lightweight yet rigid construction. Through rapid prototyping and iterative problem-solving, I developed a solution using foam core, ABS support stringers, urethane foam, and a textile wrap, all while integrating discreet mounting hardware for seamless assembly.
The result was a high-fidelity, fabric-wrapped partition that met strict aesthetic and functional requirements, proving that smart material choices and manufacturing ingenuity can push the limits of design.
