objectives:
• designed and modeled a kinetic horse sculpture in Fusion 360, using Theo Jansen–inspired linkages to simulate realistic walking motion
• converted 3D designs into 2D AutoCAD profiles for laser cutting, ensuring precise part fit and movement
• constructed the final piece from 1/4" plywood with a custom base for stability and an ergonomic handle
• prototyped and refined linkage geometry through testing to achieve a fully functional and cohesive motion
