Khrystle Hopper / Multidisciplinary Designer / PDF Portfolio
Multidisciplinary = everything . . .from sketching ideas to casting molds to laying out product architecture and digging deep with research; whatever it takes to bring successful products to light!
I enjoy the challenge that innovation and good design brings and I’m happy to assist in various capacities to learn, grow and push myself to my fullest potential to make good things happen!
In addition, I offer the following qualifications:
• Adaptability to any industry, a skill I honed through working many years as a consultantindustrial and graphic designer [design-dhuban] providing quality service to such well-knownstudios as Ziba Design, Insight Product Development, Intel Digital Heath Group, Nokia DesignCenter and [Margo] Chase Design Group.
• A solid history of conceptualizing and innovating products for greater user friendliness andsafety, while maintaining profitability.
• Exceptional problem identification, assessment, and resolution abilities that ensure smoothprojects from conception to completion.
Please contact me with any questions or to schedule a meeting at your convenience. Thanks for your time!

Variant / A conceptual project
sponsored by Honda North America for a
product that would improve an
individual’s performance and overall
communication. The Variant relieves the
user of any pain or discomfort by means
of Bio-Electric impulse remodulation.
When worn this two part device would
transmit electrical impulses to
remodulate the body’s Bio-Electric
frequencies to comfort and relieve
tension or pain induced by everyday
stresses. Based in part on the scientific
studies of electronic acupuncture and the
Eastern art of acupressure.
Prototype Description/ The prototype was generated by the
use of the MAC version of a CAD program which allows for easy
translation to MasterCam. Tool paths were generated in
MasterCam and a two piece part was cut on a three axis CNC.
The rest of the form was hand shaped, casted in urethane for
the female molds and castings were then done in silicone with
suspended components.

Candela Corporation manufactures, and distributes innovative clinical
solutions that enable physicians, surgeons and personal care
practitioners to treat selected cosmetic and medical conditions using
lasers, aesthetic laser systems, and other advanced technologies.
CANDELA Smoothbeam / This product was originally intended for
individuals who wanted to eliminate port wine stain birth-marks. A port-
wine stain or naevus flammeus is a vascular birthmark consisting of
superficial and deep dilated capillaries in the skin which produce a
reddish to purplish discoloration of the skin.
How It’s Used Today / The most commonly diagnosed skin disorder in
the U.S. and the number one reason for a patient's visit to a
dermatologist -- acne -- can now have long-term clearance with laser
treatment, according to a recent study published in The Journal of the
American Academy of Dermatology.

Research conducted in actual treatment centers in
Boston and New York; consulting with doctors and
patients alike to compile a thorough design research
brief. The brief was used to guide brainstorm sessions
and generate brand image boards. Brand image
boards serve a variety of functions from helping reach
consensus on visual vocabulary with clients to
creating visual testing formats for consumers. Brand
image boards are a way to visualize concepts and help
understand the semiotics of a brand before the design
process starts.

Sketches and sketch forms began to develop slight animal and
mammal characteristics. We used the names of the animals/
mammals to identify various concepts as well as to guide the
impressions of a sleek, stream lined device.

The main laser housing consisted of the required inputs for the hand
held diode, a recessed display, wand port and storage compartment.
