Hydroponic Smart Garden

ERB, the hydroponic smart garden, is a product designed to continue educating and engaging people with their food.

Initially prototyped in foam core, this model helped get feedback from users about basic aesthetic appearance.

So many circuit boards.! Thanks to the Othermill I was able to quickly iterate through multiple designs, radically changing PCB layout and board components along the way.

Going from foam core to fiberglass was amazing! To see ERB watertight for the first time and then actively responding to SMS messages was just beautiful.

The true amount of iteration that goes into just a prototype like this makes you respect the craft that much more. I hope to be doing this for a variety of products in the future :) Thanks for checking out ERB!
