2012 · Industrial design, Public infrastructure

Sportworks Plaza bike rack outside a building, holding several bikes

Project overview

Plaza is a modular, high-density public bike rack designed for Sportworks. The goal of this work was to build a space-efficient and intuitive bike rack that could be single or double-sided, while improving manufacturability and reducing dropped bikes.

Key work

  • Worked with stakeholders through rapid iteration and usability testing
  • Collaborated and refined proposed designs with engineering to ensure our designs met a desired level of refinement without introducing unnecessary assembly line steps
