Capella BT Headset
Sansung Alias 2 OLED multi-mode clamshell phone for Verizon. I managed Samsung Design America's relationship with Verizon Wireless at the time. I designed creatively (via sketches, and building the 3D CAD) and subsequently led the design team that developed Alias 2 until its launch in North America.
Adjustable Car Holder Accessory for SmartPhone - sketches.
the SCH-R600, also known as Hue II for Alltel Wireless, is a reliable mid-range clam-shell phone for the US market. Designed in only 6 months from sketch to final product, this is a full-featured phone for Soccer Moms with great battery life, Bluetooth, 2MP Camera w/ video, dual color LCD, MicroSD card, etc.
Released in October 2008.

This new ultra-slim flip phone features easily accessible MP3 music keys, exchangeable front cover & battery lid available in as many as 5 colors in-box, and a keypad with separated alphanumeric keys- a significant ergonomic enhancement from previous generation keypads in this price range.
Bound to become one of Samsung's best-sellers, the SCH-R600 has a subdued but elegant ID that complements the lifestyles of a broad range of mid-tier users without being too bold or overwhelming.
