A modular travel system built around adaptability in motion, composed of three integrated forms that shift between unified carry and independent use for those defined by movement.
Context
This project started during a visit to the University of Oregon’s Sports Product Design program, where I began thinking more critically about how products respond to movement. I realized the modern bag hasn’t kept up with the way we actually live. Packing smaller bags inside a larger one always felt inefficient and frustrating. Developed as my senior capstone, it’s a study in adaptability, systems, sewing techniques, and building with intention.

Ideation
I began by reframing the bag as an ecosystem rather than a static form. Instead of designing for a single use case, I focused on adaptability—creating a system that could evolve with the user. Digital fabrication became a key tool, enabling consistency across modular components while allowing for controlled experimentation. The result is a system built around transformation rather than replacement.

ATLAS S2 is a modular travel system built for adaptability in motion. Designed as a three-part configuration, it shifts from one unified pack into three independent bags for travel, daily use, and exploration. The system includes a primary pack and two auxiliary bags that work together in transit and separate on arrival. Water-resistant and scratch-resistant materials ensure reliable performance across any environment.
Fabrication
I built the bag with the same level of intention as the system itself. Custom steel G-hooks create secure, flexible connections between components. The material palette combines X-PAC and vinyl-coated PVC for durability, with a pink polyester lining for contrast. Waterproof zippers enhance performance. Every part was digitally designed, laser-cut, and industrially sewn for precision and repeatability.
