This project began as an opportunity for me to explore transportation design through form — learning subdivision modeling, building more complex surfaces, and quickly developing ideas from sketch into three dimensions.

The Goal:
Rethinking how we might explore Mars — with greater speed, freedom, and efficiency.

I try to explore a bold, rugged, and mechanical design language with rigid forms, exposed structures, and an off-road character.

OUTCOME
OUTCOME
Built around a compact core and oversized wheels, Dune Runner imagines a more agile way to explore Mars.
One seat, less mass — keeping the rover light, compact, and free to move
A slender central body — opening up the proportions and reducing visual weight
A sharp sensing camera — extending awareness beyond the driver and reading the terrain ahead
Shaped for motion — balancing agility, clearance, and a sense of forward movement
