Design portfolio of Hank Garrett. Also known as Charles H. Garrett. I hope it's not too confusing. I am a user experience designer with additional focus in experience design, product design, and strategy. The work shown here is a selection of the projects I have done both as a student and professionally. I am currently studying towards my Master of Design at the IIT Institute of Design in Chicago, where I will be graduating in May of 2015.

What I did over my winter vacation

I made some more furniture! I got my hands on some reclaimed oak and designed these shelves to hold my speakers and some LP's. I caught the vinyl bug in the process of doing my research project on peoples' music listening habits, and I was helped along in my collection by inheriting a little over a hundred albums from my parents. I also upgraded my stereo system, but my speakers sat on bar stools for far too long and I needed a more permanent solution. I started with a rhino model and made a few changes to the final design as I went. This was a fun project to take advantage of the excellent woodshop that I have at my disposal while I'm in school, and I'm very happy about how it all turned out!
