This sport eyewear concept emerged as an exploration in translating design intent into production-ready geometry. The project centers on maintaining strong form and proportion while resolving the geometric, mechanical, and manufacturing constraints of a fully manufacturable consumer product. I developed the project independently, beginning with sketching and surface exploration to establish a clear design direction, then carrying that intent through detailed CAD and manufacturing considerations. The full eyewear assembly was surfaced in SolidWorks, with all components designed for injection molding and drafted accordingly. The work required defining part breaks, hinge placement, user fit, and mechanical interfaces while preserving surface continuity and overall form quality. While limited in narrative scope, the project serves as a concentrated case study in surfacing discipline, draft control, parting strategy, and the preservation of design intent through a DFM-driven pipeline.
