Farmshelf

Farmshelf is an indoor hydroponic system that enables users to grow herbs, leafy greens, and edible flowers with ease. Each unit integrates a range of electromechanical systems designed to deliver the simplest and most intuitive growing experience on the market.

During my time at Farmshelf, I was deeply involved in the redesign of the third-generation product—an iteration aimed at mass production and designed specifically for home users. This next-gen unit required a comprehensive overhaul, drawing on insights from earlier versions and introducing solutions that balanced form, function, and manufacturability.

The redesign process involved rapid prototyping, rigorous testing, and cross-disciplinary development across ten major subsystems:

Shelf Environmental Control

LED Layout, Thermal Management, and Optics

Hydroponic System Engineering

Plumbing Architecture

User Interface and Diagnostics

Automated Nutrient Dosing

Germination and Nursery Modules

Main Water Reservoir

Sensor Integration and Imaging

Structural Design and Visual Aesthetics

This project not only pushed the boundaries of compact, at-home agriculture but also provided a platform to innovate in embedded systems, user-centered design, and manufacturable engineering.
