Designing a more symbiotic home
I designed and prototyped Spring, a compact automated growing environment, and an exploration of how homes can live more symbiotically with nature through everyday food production.
In collaboration with Ed Brial and Gabriel Bruckner
Key outcomes
Working prototype integrating hydroponics + controlled environment.
Demonstrated efficacy across diverse crop types.
Defined a scalable product vision of networked units and subscriptions.
Contributions
Designed the system architecture (hydroponics loop + sensing/control + enclosure).
Built and iterated prototypes through repeated grow cycles.
Shaped the product concept and user interaction model (mobile control + replenishment).
