Satlas: Connect Your World

Honeywell

In 2015, 346 natural disasters occurred globally amounting to $66.6 billion in economic damage and 98.6 million people affected. In a disaster, communication is not only essential; it saves lives. The survival rates in disaster zones drop drastically the more time it takes to organize search and rescue. Within 30 minutes of a disaster, the survival rate of those rescued is 90%. After 24 hours, the survival rate drops to 81%. After five days, the survival rate sinks to 7%. Honeywell came to Innovation Space to enlist our help in building a UAV that addresses infrastructure. On a team consisting of an engineer, business, sustainability, industrial design, and visual communication design, we tackled this goal through extensive research, innovation and impeccable teamwork.

Role: graphic design, product development

Work: interviews, research, ideation, branding, proposal design, exhibit design, environmental design, UI/UX design

Designed at: Arizona State University for Honeywell

Satlas is a versatile, communication aerostat/UAV capable of transmission and amplification of cell phone, HAM radio, satellite, and internet signals. Robust and powerful, Satlas can be deployed globally over areas where natural disasters have taken down communication infrastructure, restoring vital communication between first responders and allowing for relief efforts to be coordinated in the limited window before survival rates plummet. When the forces of nature throw us a disaster, Satlas will be there to connect your world.

And that's where the problem-solving began: simplifying the information architecture that informs the primary navigation.

Welcome

I am Eve

I am a graphic designer and front-end web developer who specializes in branding and digital design. I am a life-long learner and my current pursuit is in Biomimicry and its applications for graphic design.

For the sake of focus.

My design mantra, "For the sake of focus" is derived from a longer quote, "Minimalism is not subtraction for the sake of subtraction. Minimalism is subtraction for the sake of focus." (-unknown) It's easy to design for the purpose of arbitrarily making content pretty. I design for the purpose of honouring content by using design to enhance the focus of the message.
