Ice dams form when accumulated snow on a sloping roof melts and then re-freezes, preventing additional meltwater from draining properly. The accumulated water causes leaks resulting in damage to the roof structure, walls, ceilings and insulation. These cutaway illustrations show the anatomy of an ice dam and how to prevent them with adequate ventilation and insulation from heat leaks.
Earlier this year I worked with the ESYM team to help bring their portable aromatherapy product to life. They had their product designed in CAD and ready for manufacturing, but in order to get it into production they needed to raise funds via Kickstarter.
CAD is great for getting ideas made, but illustration is great for getting ideas sold.
The team contacted me to produce renderings that would help visualize their concept as a real product. The illustrations would have to be accurate to their design, labelling and materials and also fit in with their brand’s aesthetic.
Together we created a complete series of images to show their range of 3 scents. The project went live in September, and ESYM was successfully funded on Kickstarter.
What are Mecanum Wheels and how do they work? Mecanum wheels, also known as omni wheels or ilon wheels, consist of a hub with rollers oriented 45° to the axis of rotation. Perfect for tight spaces, they enable conventional forward & backward movement as well as side to side and even rotation. To accomplish this, each wheel turns independently. To move side to side, pairs of wheels oppose one another, like a worm gear or screw.
