Hello Sitter: On-Demand Babysitter Service

Role

Launched

Company

 In June 2016, Hello Sitter officially launched where it quickly won the attention of the general public after being featured on the Today Show, the New York Post and Crain’s Business Daily.

Hello Sitter was envisioned to provide an “Uber”-like experience that took the stress out of finding quality childcare. Whether it was a last minute meeting or a much needed date night, Hello Sitter wanted to create a seamless experience that made scheduling babysitting as frictionless and easy as it is to arrange for a pickup from a car sharing service. In selecting Blue Label Labs as their mobile app design and development partner, Hello Sitter looked to Blue Label to not only design a mobile app that brought their vision to life but also to build, test and deploy the product so that it was ready for a Spring 2016 launch.

Diversity was and still is an issue in the tech community.

With a lack of many successful entrepreneurs to look up to, a huge demographic is left out of the conversation of what can actually be achieves through persistence, ambition and hard work.

After joining The Phat Startup as founding partners, we took our Tech808 concept from paper to execution. We threw 27 events around NYC which culminated into 4 Tech808 conferences in NYC, Oakland and Washington D.C.

Support amazing causes while protecting your wrists and neck from injury.

Born out of a weekly fabrication project, I was challenged how to produce an efficient and consistent manufacturing process, how to integrate multiple types of materials and how to test durability with various prototypes. View my process here and here.

Each color of our laptop stands represents a specific challenge we will financially support. We will give 10% of the profit to organizations working to combat the 10 listed challenges we humans face. #Powerof10

The project is currently still in research and development, on track to develop the next iteration using a different manufacturing process.

Wallets and money clips have never been crafted for car people. I was driven to do a project to design a solution for this niche.

After developing a few initial sketches, I teamed up with the master industrial designer Budimir Javoicic to develop a few renderings for the design. 

Our first wallet and money clip are inspired by the legendary Ferrari F40. We've started from scratch to design this money clip that both look stunning and are easy to use. 

Would like to continue tinkering on this in the future.
