Work
Design ProcessA brief overview of how I go about my process of researching,
designing and realising solutions.
ConceptualisationDesign Process
Using a large number of techniques from ideation, sketch rendering, presentation rendering, 3D mock-ups and test rigs allows me to quickly explore a large number of ideas very quickly.
Design ExplorationDesign Process
Using more refined mock-ups and presentation sketching I can expand off 2D/3D ideation mediums from the previous phase. This exploration also allows me to begin designing the materials, manufacturing and lifecycle of the solution.
3D RefinementDesign Process
Using CAD tools such as Solidworks, Rhino, Maya and the Bunkspeed suite allows me to realise the details and provides me the information I need to carry out FEA analysis, materials testing and begin to develop the way in which full lifecycle of the product will occur and how this will effect the pricing of the solution.
Design RealisationDesign Process
Creating models and prototypes both in scale and in full sized allows me to bring all the details together and properly present the solution in a complete package. These full scale prototypes allow the interaction with my designs which is often a key factor of the overall solution.

Urbanspeed
Featured on Yanko Design
With high expenses, current bike share systems aren’t able to be used by poorer cities who don’t feature high budgets.
Bike stations take up massive amounts of public space, often in crowded downtown areas.
Urbanspeed ProjectNovember 2011My research focused on the problems of public bike share’s and private cyclists with the aim of creating one solution that could be applied to these large markets.
With a failure to integrate with public transportation, bike share systems are confined only to certain parts of cities.
Maintenance operations are required on bikes regularly to keep them in running condition.
Urbanspeed ProjectNovember 2011With the low price point being such a factor, many mock-ups were done to explore the easiest way to create the frame using low-tech production methods and materials on a high volume scale.
Urbanspeed compacts down which makes for extremely efficient storage in bike share and private storage situations
Drastically reducing the footprint means bike share racks integrate much easier into public areas.
Utilising high manufacturing volumes means Urbanspeed
reaches a lower end cost.
Compressing to 22% of the footprint of a conventional
bicycle allows easy storage.
Low-maintenance design uses such features as belt-drive tech
to lower overall running costs
A full range of accessories allows the user to build the bike
how local needs dictate.
A single cast component allows movement, gives structure and ensures longevity.
Quick-release levers allow the frame to be compressed and set at a length to suit the riders body size.
Belt drive technology provides longevity, efficiency and eliminates almost all maintenance.
Flat Pack Chair
92% material efficiency
All material waste is recycled back into usable polypropylene to construct more units.
Straps utilise tension to completely eliminate fixtures.
Single operation, flat pack manufacturing cuts down time and greatly lowers shipping costs
Made from 100% recycled polypropylene
Flat Pack ChairProjectNovember 2009With a fixture-less design, two straps use a tensioning style of joinery to provide the shape and strength to the main body.
Flat Pack ChairProjectNovember 2009Assembled in under 3 minutes with no fixtures, the chair provides a simple, comfortable and relaxing solution for on the beach or around the home.
Touch
Touch ProjectDecember 2010In response to a brief I was given to ‘design light’ I decided to create a visual aid for sight impaired people to aid them in easily navigating public spaces.
Utilising low tech design lowers the cost and makes the design more accessible for everyone.
The interaction with the hand needed to explain how to hold the device.
I needed to create one unit to replace the need for both the sight stick and guide dog.
Touch ProjectDecember 2010The Touch handheld device allows the visually impaired to explore social spaces whilst only subtly holding a small handheld device
Touch ProjectDecember 2010With a touch sensitive pad and small shifting weight, the product informs the user how to get to their destination and what is around them simultaneously. It uses simple infrared led’s and a GPS chip, technology far inferior to the average mobile phone.

The unit contains a weight that is shifted along the front edge to provide the user a sense of direction.

Zem House ProjectApril 2011The Zero EMissions housing project was run from August 2010 until April 2011 and challenged a team of 26 mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, industrial design, business and public policy students to design and build a 100 square foot house on the San Jose State university campus.
Zem House ProjectApril 2011My role was primarily how the target user of a recent college graduate used and interacted with the structure of the ZEM house.
An interactive structure facilitates food production, socialisation, storage and insulation.
Green-walls, a roof garden and planters insulate and cool the house in summer, whilst trapping heat during winter
An angled front wall contributes to a passive solar design.
Angled solar panels provide power for the home.
Prefabricated panels greatly reduce build time and the waste is recycled.
Passive solar design ensures heat is captured or reflected when needed.
A roof garden allows the user to grow food and reduces their impact on the surrounding environment.

Rocker Stool
Rocker StoolProjectApril 2011Designed to evoke a playful reaction, Rocker Stool is a low seat that invites the user to investigate it. Black sand is placed inside the slip cast ceramic shell so when the user stands up the stool remains tilted to the last angle, creating a ‘ghost’ of the previous interaction.
Rocker StoolProjectApril 2011Designed in response to a brief I was given to design a piece of furniture around the theme of ‘play’, the simple slip cast ceramic body and cork top provides an easy and sustainable solution that has an interesting juxtaposition of materials..
