PELICAN
How do you enable quick action shots?
In my role on the industrial design project for Pelican U160, my goal was to design a camera backpack that would deliver superior access and comfort to camera professionals. The U160 Camera Backpack is an unparalleled blend of innovation and functionality. In collaboration with the Pelican team, I worked diligently to create a backpack that offers a water-tight Pelican case and quick access to your camera body, ensuring your equipment stays safe and secure, no matter the environment. The U160’s ergonomic design guarantees utmost comfort during extended usage, enabling photographers to focus solely on their craft. We created multiple prototypes meticulously developed using Solidworks for CAD, Illustrator for 2D, and working with a pattern maker to create soft-goods prototypes.
