Soft goods like backpacks are something that I plan on designing a lot more. During the summers in Durango, rafting is huge. I have a dry bag with backpack straps that I get more use out of than any other backpack during the summer. After quite a bit of use, though, there are definitely some design changes that I would make.

A handful of lifechanging moments on the river inspired the design of this backpack. The creation of the rendering itself was a huge learning process for me, but so rewarding in the end.

I did this project for an advanced sketching industrial design class that I took virtually via dual enrollment at Metro State University.
