the brief - you are required for this project to
develop and produce ONE fully refined, final product that reuses household packaging or everyday waste materials
upcycling
01
the sketching process allowed me to explore my ideas in a variety of forms and a wide range of solutions to complete this project in relation to the brief
sketching the UK creates over 33 million tonnes of waste per year
this gave me ideas into accessories in which are never really seen as being upcycled, which is why i decided to go for the umbrella idea as i believed i could be most creative following this route
final design
02 the brief
Explore the commercial home-ware market and develop a single or range of projects specifically for sheet material manufacturing such as laser, water or plasma cutting.
This is the final white card model i came up with. This model shows the accurate size, form and connection to the bulb, with accurate representation using a ceiling light as an example.

03 brief...
starpack - hidr8
Design an innovative and creative structure as a free standing display unit to contain the 600ml new water bottles. this brief was quite challening as the requirements were very specfic, with maximumsize dimensions being 600mm leftright, 400mm front-back and 1720mm in height.
product aims - has to be free standing - be innovative in structure and shape - simple assembly - robust to withstand retail environments - highlight key benefits of the product
sketching
this sketching period allowed me to explore different styles and designs for pos displays as the brief was very specific into what we had to achieve
bottles rest at shoulder height making it easy for every shelf to be accessed revolving shelves make accessing the bottles even easier

The Brief
International Design Studio - Canadian-Style Bench
explore the commercial contract and home marketsdeveloping a small stool or bench specifically for production in wood.
FINAL DESIGN
05
the brief design an innovative new product for the ‘Blox’ product range to be sold in Wilko Stores across the UK.
product features:
- should be gender neutral - manufactured at a wilko price point - shouldn’t be a kit design, but should be compatible with other existing kits and other competing brands
designed around young families
i decided to look into how i could make the packaging more involved into the product itself, which is why i made the packaging not only storage but a fun, playful experience for the user as well.
background panel can be easily replaced
large playable, smooth surface for extra entertainment
Large buildable area for more creativity
final design
neatly folds into a rectangular storage box for easy storage solution
large basket-like handles for easy transport for both adults and children
personal photography When i was in 6th form i was studying photography at a-level, which sparked my passion for photography. on this page i have left some of my photography work which has been completed over the past couple of years.
