Bloomberg Terminal concept

The Bloomberg Terminal concept is a redesign of the existing computer system used internationally by financial professionals. Through redesign of both the hardware and software, this concept alleviates the mazelike navigation and dated aesthetic of the existing Bloomberg Terminal, which has provided a painful rite of passage for fledgling financiers. The concept design improves the learning curve with a simple, efficient interface defined by intuitive organization and display of information (micro to macro, left screen to right screen).

The Windows Vista Dream PC Design Program

Despite 30 years of innovation and growth, research consistently shows that the personal computer bears an uninspired, grey stigma that can obscure individual brands in consumers' eyes. Popular TV ads tap into this stigma. The design strategy sought to shift this identity dramatically by creating a model set of Windows Vista-based PCs.

Pano Logic 'Zero Client' Computer

Pano is a new type of server-based computer designed to replace corporate desktop PCs. Called a "Zero Client," it is a tiny hardware-only device, containing no software, no operating system, no CPU, no memory and no moving parts. The user plugs in their keyboard, display and mouse into Pano, and then plugs it into the network to get a Windows session running off of a centralized server. Pano is very minimal and therefore has very little environmental impact.
