Designs Furniture and Product Design
I’m a very motivated and creatively driven second year Furniture and Product Designer student studying at Nottingham Trent University. I have a passion for design and is eager to learn and develop my skills and is currently looking for a 12 month placement within the design industry. Having worked for five years, I am a loyal employee who appreciates the professional environment and understand my responsibilities. My enthusiasm to learn and the variety and fast-paced work I’ve experienced shows I’m an adaptable and resilient employee. I’ve been interested in design since I was a child and my interest has grown as I have. This portfolio is an insight of my best first year work, along with my second year work.

How many of you have difficulty when trying to pull out a sofa bed? In collaboration with Amy Buchanan, we decided the common sofa bed needed updating and simplifying.
Harper Sofa Bed Made from a combination of classic beech and soft cotton linen, Harper is the newest contemporary sofa bed on the market. Fitting into any modern home setting, Harper will definitely be the talking point when socialising with friends and family. The cosy two seater sofa bed is designed with the mature user in mind. When pulled, the three-point mechanism unfolds the bed with ease by gliding the structure on wheels, ready for a peaceful night of sleep.

Using existing Heal’s products as inpiration and wood as a core material, I created a high end contemporary lounge chair, ideal for relaxing with a book and a cuppa.
In collaboration with
The Viola Chair
The whole chair is made from cherry wood.
Sturdy smooth seat which is fixed to the frame of the chair.
Angled dowel to ensure a comfortable experience. Also to hold a potential back rest cushion.
Arm rest
Leg angled outwards for a contrasting side profile.
The top handle is dominant over the leg for a strong structure.
A thick bar is placed at the front and back of the chair for a strong and reasuring structure.
Dowelled side bars.
Narrative in Design Using roots as my main focus and inspiration, I created three decorative products that can be placed around the house as a reminder of my home in Wales. Each product has a narrative of craft behind them.
The Narrative and Ritual As I have moved away from home with my studies, I find that that I have become homesick. These products have been made as a form of remembrance of my connection with my home. No matter where I end up and give me comfort by reminded me of familiarity of home which will aid my homesickness as I travel away from home.
Calon Lan Vase ^
Designed to be simplistic, the vase was slip casted and glazed with the purpose to hold flowers, particularly daffodils. The words ‘Calon Hapus, Calon Onest, Calon Lân’ are carved into the top banner of the vase. The song ‘Calon Lân’ is a song which always reminds me of my herratige along with my home town. To anyone else, this is a simple vase with a bunch of words, but to me, this will always be a reminder of my roots.

As I grow up, the love spoon will be presesnt and to give it away will be difficult. Symbols such as the hearts, the vines and cross are carved in to pine.

Affordable furniture made from high quality materials can be hard to come by. Using domestic furniture as my main area of focus and IKEA as my client, I created a collapsable floating shelf made from painted plywood.
