Solid Body A001
This is the first prototype electric guitar for my brand Ashley & Co. This pure toned solid body A001 guitar really takes the pure resonance of the ash body and acoustic engineering to create a truely unique and rich tone. To get to the finished A001 several foam modelled prototypes were made. The clear scratchplate highlights the electronic technology that has been inputted into the guitar and compliments the wood grain beautifully.

Computer Mouse This was a design and manufacture brief, in which as a team we developed and manufactured a mould tool to injection mould a promotional widget computer mouse for Lego. The mould tool was made within the limitation of the design schools workshop but developments and material discussion were considered to allow the widget to be mass manufactured, with 3 million being produced within 12 weeks.

Easy Squeeze
Citrus Juier
The Easy Squeeze citrus juicer is one of my freelance design concepts for Abdoolally Ebrahim Group (AEG) for their AEHL housewares sector. The design brief was for a new simple way to squeeze, pour and store fruit juice in the fridge. With the unique lid design, your drink is kept in an air tight seal and stays fresh for longer.
1. Firstly cut the fruit in half and then squeeze the fruit on the reamer.

2. Once fruit has been squeezed pour juice into a glass.
3. If there is any spare juice, turn lid over
4. Then rotate the top over to cover the holes

5. Then place the sealed juicer into the fridge, to keep fresh.

RĂŠsumĂŠ I am a confident group speaker, who is not afraid to talk in front of large groups and have experience of speaking in front of people of all ages. I have a passion for sustainable design and feel that all products that I design should consider the whole life cycle. I strive to achieve my best in everything I do and I am hugely determined. I am a positive thinker, good group worker, and a problem solver, all of which have been especially useful on my design course, but can be applied anywhere.
