Coach 01B.jpg
Coach requested Marblue (formerly Marware) to update their tech accessory product line to accommodate the new iPhone 5.  As project manager for these projects I created the polycarbonate shell in Solidworks to be manufactured using a leather wrapping process (using Coach’s leather/ colors on trend and signature logo pattern).
Coach 02B.png
The polycarbonate snap on shell for the "new ipad" (2013) was also modeled in Solidworks.  The shells were then wrapped/ laminated with Coach's signature premium leather and sold worldwide.
