About
"As we grow, the joy of play often fades into the background. I engineer tactile wonders for all ages—thoughtful pieces that spark a sense of comfort and rekindle a gentle, heartfelt nostalgia"
Hello, I am Treyee Acharya, but everyone calls me Trey. Welcome to my portfolio.
In a world, where AI will be ubiquitous, what remains is how one empowers the Human. I study at Greater Lowell Technical School, and I chose the unconventional path to study 3D Computer Aided Design, Manufacturing, and hands on engineering so I can acquire skills early.
I am a Hands-On , Project based learner; Theory is important, but what I do with the theory is far more important. I like making things that matter, that solves problems.
Thats why, I prefer WPI ( Worcester Polytechnic Institute), whose core focus is "Project Based Learning and Problem Solving"

People will use AI in devices going forward. As AI feels intelligent, people want to feel the connection to devices. It is Human Nature. Chubbington is meant to be the doll/gizmo/toy that bridges the human and the AI.
Chubbington as it's name suggests "Chubby" bear like, R2D2 ( Star Wars ) like, has minor robotic capabilities, but it is meant for teens and even parents who feel the nostalgia like a toy they played with as a child.

Funny story, but this project design was inspired because of my battle with "Dental Braces".
Imagine Dental assistants trying to shape your teeth and the braces! The Dental hand piece is so inconvenient, and slippery. You got that right, it falls of the hands, the pressure on teeth is not uniform and hurts the braces and the teeth. A simple change can make the instrument exceptional.

Glucose monitoring, could be life and death for those who suffer from it. Since it is an emergency, one needs to build an ergonomic, extremely simple design where someone just sees the Glucose level on the screen.

“I have known Trey for 10 years, and have mentored her personally for the last 3 years, studying CAD/Engineering at Greater Lowell Technical High School.
Her ability to bring the Arts and the Design together is exceptional. I have worked for the topmost 3D company ( Autodesk) and I am a designer as well. Trey, at a young high school age can put complex 3D designs many engineering students cannot. A real feat! Definitely a very good future Product Designer”
