To design a wearable accessory capable of protecting impact-sensitive headgear during transit. The goal was to bridge high-performance utility with a custom-fit pattern, ensuring the internal padded liner did not compromise the bag’s exterior silhouette.

The core challenge in structural soft goods is translating 3D volume into flat 2D patterns. I rigorously tested the digital design against physical constraints such as helmet shape/size, material thickness, seam allowances, and fold tolerances.

To verify the construction logic and tactile quality, I sewed samples using durable materials and impact/scratch resistant internal linings. The prototypes were hand-assembled to validate hardware integration (zippers, D-rings) and seam strength.
