SMALL SPACE CONSOLIDATED KITCHEN SET K T C H N is a concise kitchenware set designed for the challenge of small space living. Inspired by the minimalist movements and those choosing to live small, it focuses on combining effective use of space with sufficiency in selection of items, promoting a simplistic, efficient lifestyle.
KTCHN
FEATURES K T C H N contains a select cooking set for two including plates, bowls, cups, chopping boards, a frying pan, sauce pan, and a pair of induction hobs. The product range allows gradual adaptation to more efficient small space living through the use of fewer, multipurpose items.

K T C H N is a clear example of the skills involved throughout the process in order to create a holistically approached, appropriate product. Here this project exercised all skills from initial consumer interviews and initial sketch ideation through to final model making, CAD visuals and presentational work.

HOLISTIC PROCESS
SYNTHESIS ECO-ELECTRONICS BIO-DEGRADABLE SPEAKER Synthesis explores the concept of eco-electronics, resulting in a biodegradable, bio-sourced, suspended speaker as an example of what can be achieved with technology widely available, at affordable cost. Made from injection moulded bio-plastic (from cellulose in trees), Synthesis is designed for ease of disassembly into compostable parts and technical components, in the hope to make those involved rethink electronics, with the environment in mind.

As a result, Synthesis concentrates on the product side of sustainability (acknowledging the consumer behaviour side also) to create a simple and understandable electronic, easy to disassemble into parts designed to be sent back to the manufacturer for reuse and parts that can be thrown into the garden compost heap to degrade quickly and naturally.

UN-ORDERED HAIRBRUSH and other unappealing toiletries
DISSERTATION SENSORY ENGAGMENT CONCEPTUAL OUTCOME Forming a conceptual outcome to the dissertation during my degree, the “Un-appealing Toiletries” is a project which explores both the senses and emotion in design context and how, in this period of design thirsting for emotional experiences, sensory design can be used as a tangible method to approach this.
The Un-appealing Toiletries
UN-ORDERED HAIRBRUSH The Un-Ordered Hairbrush distances the user from the usually intimate action, combined with its second handle, it feels foreign to hold. Visually the imprecise wrapping of the grip and the erratic bristle placement adds to this feeling of un-order.
UN-CLINICAL TOOTHSPONGE & UN-NATURAL TOOTHGEL
The Un-appealing Toiletries, reverses this method to help depict the necessity to think about senses in order to design for emotion. For instance, although familiar and usable, these products feel foreign in their aesthetics (“that which is perceptible through the senses�):-

DESIGN RESEARCH In order to form these outcomes, and as with any project, in depth research and use of workshops and focus groups to gain user input and other designer opinions are crucial. Especially during this dissertation piece, due to the personal nature of the topic, it was necessary for heavy involvement through workshops and user interviews, as well as finding an appropriate method to assess and display this work.

NEXT-GEN PACKAGING EYE-CATCHING P.O.S Working in conjunction with Nestle York and their design department, this brief was oriented around the next generation of Rowntree Randoms packaging, promoting sharing and incorporating their “fun” branding. Driven from consumer research and emphathy testing, I was shortlisted to present to Nestle in York and came runner up in the competition.

A purely form-based project driven from sketching before a 3D printed protoype was produced. With this in mind I aimed to make the most of this process with respect to potential forms which would be difficult to achieve by hand. It is important to note these renders were produced with Solidworks (and its render plugin Photoview 360) “A unique and bespoke memory stick which plays on both the form of nature and expressing our desire to cover the complex, such as the inner ciruits of a memory stick”
MANUFACTURE EXPERIENCE
WORKSHOP DESIGNER Object CAD/CAM Solutions London, UK
JAN 2014 – JUL 2014
Employed as a workshop designer & technician, tasks within Object were oriented around the manufacture of a huge variety of projects from bespoke furniture to art installations, architectural models to manufacture tooling. Hand-skills and material knowledge were extensively furthered during my time here as well as the day to day running of a small business.

VISUALISATION SKILLS Employed as junior designer in the packaging, filling and design department, tasks varied from 3D visualisations of products, to packaging prototyping and more graphics based communication work. This included presentation and display work, logo design and photography.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS However and possibly more importantly, is the insight into how a large multinational company works. The skills gained in the necessity to communicate, organise and lead others within the company through projects and workshops.
The idea of an in-house design team within Nestlé is still a young idea, and many people are new to designers, unsure of what to expect and when to expect it. Arguably one of most useful results from this is the surety in what is expected from the design profession and where to position yourself with respect to potential clients.
Leading Workshops
LOW POLY WORK SELF- INITIATED SELF-TAUGHT SOFTWARE During internships, I decided to self-teach the 3D software and render plugin, 3D Studio Max and Vray in preparation to my final year. Inspired by the recent popularity of the “low-poly� artwork I aimed to mimick these pieces with a subject matter of my own (visuals for recent literature I had been reading). These visuals were modelled and rendered completely within 3DS Max utilising Vray for its rendering ability.
