Hardshell Travel Backpack
Built for Movement, Designed for Protection
2014
This concept was born from a traveler’s tension: the need for both structure and comfort on the go.
I designed a hardshell backpack that balances protection and wearability—featuring a rigid exterior to shield laptops and gear, paired with soft, cushioned contact points on the body side for all-day carry comfort. Every detail was considered with intent: a custom buckle design that subtly echoes the silhouette of the bag, and a hidden elastic strap that slides onto luggage handles for seamless travel.
The result is a clean, minimal form with smart utility—designed to move effortlessly through airports, train stations, and everyday commutes.
