Hanging Laser Bracket System
This is an I beam mounted hanging laser bracket I designed during my internship at Image Engineering which is currently in production! The assemblies shown are part of my common bracket system, where the base, yoke, clamp, and supports are designed to be compatible with 3 different hanging laser systems, so only the height of the yoke and the hole pattern need to be adjusted, simplifying manufacturing. Many considerations went into this design, including adding enough height for the laser system to be able to tilt and rotate without colliding with the sides. Rigid safety standards had to be followed, as these lasers are designed to hang over stage performers, so holes and eye bolts are connected throughout to ensure that if any component fails, there are additional layers of protection so the laser and bracket will not fall.
Audio Video Mounting System
I independently designed and delivered a large-scale audiovisual mounting system, starting from the client’s aesthetic sketches and dimensional requirements. I refined the concept for manufacturability, functionality, and cost efficiency while ensuring portability, stability, and clean cable management. In addition to developing CAD models and drawings, I researched and sourced all materials, hardware, and finishes, balancing in-house fabrication with outsourced components. I directed the fabrication team on processes to meet tight deadlines, and the project was completed under budget with a final product that exceeded client expectations.
