Design Thesis 2009
From November 2008 until April 2009 I did extensive research on electronic waste and recycling.
Based on the results of my research I developed a series of recycled USB flash drives that would inform their user of ways
to recycle their electronics. Each drive included a hand-made package and digital resources. I also developed a point of
purchase display, a website, a time lapse video, and a book showing my design process.
Time Lapse Video
This video goes along with my design thesis. For several long nights I left my camera rolling to capture my habits,
design process, and experiments with old computer parts. This is the result, sped up for your enjoyment.

Web Design
The website [http://attichermit.com] taught users about the flash drives themselves, gave a brief description of the problem, and what they could do to help.
