PROJECT 1

Sharper Image Jump Rover RC – 2019

With the Jump Rover, you can master awesome jumps with the included cardboard ramp. We worked together with Sharper Image to design a lightweight RC car that is capable of obtaining big jumps! The car has undercarriage LED lights, and it comes with a wireless remote control.

The ramp was carefully designed to be folded inside the packaging. To set up the ramp, simply slide the folded ramp out of the blister packaging. Unfold the ramp and untuck the back and sides, then clip them together using the provided cardboard slots. Set up the ramp, and you are ready for jumps!


 

Project 2

Terrain Roller RC

A tiny yet powerful all-terrain vehicle that’s two vehicles in one. With a simple flip, it reveals a second vehicle on the underside, ready to race in the opposite direction, powered by rubber all-terrain tires.

A push of a button unleashes its ability to spin at exhilarating, eye-watering speeds. Whether racing friends, navigating obstacle courses, tearing through backyard trails, or zipping around indoor tracks, the Flip Rover delivers nonstop action. Its low-profile cockpit, aggressive front and rear spoilers, and rugged off-world aesthetic are paired with bold graphics and LED lights, ensuring directional clarity during intense maneuvers.

 

Remote design

A unified hardware design is used for remotes across all of Sharper Image’s RC toys. For the Mini Stunt Vehicles we applied color schemes and graphics that tied this universal controller to these unique vehicles.

PROJECT 3

Sharper Image Monster Rover RC – 2019

I was lucky to be lead designer of this fun and powerful off-road RC truck, crafted to tackle any terrain with robust features and lightweight design that enhance both performance and experience.

Equipped with massive wheels, a powerful 4x4 RC system, and oversized shocks, the truck delivers exceptional handling and control across rugged terrains.

Long-travel suspension and all-terrain grip allow for seamless adaptability, reaching speeds of up to 5 MPH.

PROJECT 4

Sharper Image Quadcopter RC – 2019


This project focused on designing the most lightweight RC car on the market. The angled and aggressive aesthetic was paired with practical innovations, such as hollow foam wheels and intuitive remote controls, to create a product that is as thrilling to drive, jump, and fly. Each detail, from the ergonomic controller to the USB-C charging solution, was developed with the end-user experience in mind.


The Quadcopter RC became a favorite among enthusiasts, offering a nice blend of functionality, fun, and game-play opportunities that align with Sharper Image’s commitment to high-tech toys.
