Product Retro Ramp
Newfane, Vermont
Spring 2020
During senior year of high school, as the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the world, a childhood dream came to life through the design and construction of a mini ramp. Combining passions for skateboarding, design, and construction, a personal concept was transformed into a functional structure. The project required meticulous planning, including researching dimensions and sourcing materials. Construction of the ramp was done entirely by hand, balancing costs, logistics, and aesthetics.

Building Process
Watch the Series on TikTok
When I set out to build this ramp, I chose to document the process on TikTok to both track my progress and share the experience with others. I created a 14-part video series, with each clip under one minute, summarizing the work completed each day and detailing the steps leading to the final result. The series gained significant attention, becoming my first viral project on the platform, with over one million views and 500,000 likes.
