MOTOROLA PHONE-IN-A-BAG
INTERNSHIP PROJECT (2005)

During my internship at Motorola (which preceded my full-time employment with them in 2006) I was encouraged to work on
a personal project outside of the proprietary projects I was working on. I looked around and decided to do the complete opposite
of what current cell phone design is about. Instead of wrapping expensive technology in skins of metal, chrome-plated plastic
and glass I thought about the basic point of communication, and what it would be like to create something that was designed
to be given rather than sold,and used in developing nations where durability was immediately more important than aesthetics.
The Phone in a bag idea was born; where the external skin inflates for shipping and deflates for use, providing a simple yet
effective seal against dust and water. It is also easy to pull apart and service.
