Welcome! My name is Jill and I am currently enrolled at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh for Entertainment Design. I am interested in toy design and prop making. I will share most of my projects and doodles here, so critiques are more than welcome.

I go more in depth with my projects on my Facebook. Feel free to check out my stuff there too.

Here are some out of context process photos for the police helmet.

Here are some much better photos of my police helmet done by Dan Dexter.

Finally a finished helmet and control box.  I’m not 100% pleased with how it turned out but it is what it is for now.
The dome lights strobe and the white panels track back and forth thanks to the help from my friend Johnathan.  He even helped me add a siren to really pull it together.

Have some quality cell phone progress photos of my robocop helmet.  

And oh how I wish the wiring was finished and not a spaghetti mess.

Inb4 I should’ve used an Arduino.

I finished my shark armor costume, although I’m not completely happy with it.  The paint job just needs cleaned up a little more before I would consider it portfolio worthy.

Special thanks to my buddy Arlante for sticking through this process and being my model and to Tim Snow for once again for taking some sweet photos.  I just wish I grabbed a bigger backdrop.

The start of my “robocop” helmet.

A robot action figure I designed in Solidworks and then 3D printed.  After much patching, sanding, and painting, this is the end result.  Overall he is 10 inches tall and 7 wide.

Big thanks to Tim Snow for the awesome photos.
