About Me As an apprentice-trained graduate, I am now seeking a role in an established design team with a rigorous and structured process. I completed my apprenticeship at Techstyle-Europe after two years with a further year thereafter. Techstyle-Europe is a design consultancy that specialise in design for manufacture, specifically injection moulding, and the projects featured from my apprenticeship in my portfolio were all completed and taken to market. Following my time at Techstyle-Europe, I wanted to broaden my knowledge and skillset in design. I started University in 2018 studying Product Design Technology (Bsc), before graduating in July 2021. Following my apprenticeship and throughout my studies I have also worked on projects as a freelance industrial designer. My experience in a design consultancy and as a freelancer has formed the basis of my strong work ethic and self-sufficency. I recently became certified to use Solidworks professionally with an additional qualification in surface modelling. During my time at university I also worked as a technical student mentor helping my peers with issues such as software difficulties and problem solving. I was also awarded a place on the UWE Enterprise Scholarship in both 2020 and 2021, where I learned the fundamentals of business management, marketing, and how to start a business. Completing the scholarship helped me become a more effective freelancer and this was a valuable experience. In addition, I have three years of bar management experience with my last post being at Bristol Rovers, where I developed leadership and management skills and learned the importance of being a team player. Altogether, my combination of experience and strong design education makes me ready to pursue new and challenging opportunities in the field.

Design Engineer - Apprenticeship This project was completed during my time at Techstyle-Europe.and was completed shortly after I finished training as an apprentice. I had been asked to design a bespoke 500ml bottle to replace his existing off the shelf. It was my task to design both the bottle and the aquatrough. It was my responsibility to manage the project from conception to production. The Aquabrush had been featured, with the bespoke bottle, at the Glee International Tradeshow in 2016 and was a top three finalist for product innovation out of a total of 305 designs.
Early Iterations
Above: Indents used to grip the bottle during the blow moulding process. Middle & Right: CNC Machined Prototypes. The finger ridges on both sides were uncomfortable and unnecessary because the ridges were on the same side regardless of which hand was used. They were removed when the design was further developed.
Top & Bottom Left: Photographs taken during the Glee tradeshow Right: A podium and banner I designed for the tradeshow.
Design Engineer - Apprenticeship JKCreations wanted to add a portable watertrough, for dog walkers, to thier range of products. They had asked if the design of the aquatrough could fit around the form of thier new bottle. The product was intended to be a premium product with innovative features.
Early Ideation
The mechanism is similar to the mechanism found in sports bottles. Initially a vacuum lock mechanism was developed but it was not cost effective to produce. The bottle is pulled up, similar to a sports bottle, and the trough will start to fill. When the water level reaches the opening of the bottle cap the water will cease to flow.

Design Engineer - Apprenticeship Garland Plastics specialise in the manufacture and retail of garden products. They felt that the existing self watering grow pot towers on the market ‘looked cheap and not very were well made’, so they wanted to add thier own Grow Pot Tower to thier product range. All bespoke parts were injection moulded & designed to be manufactured as economically as possible. I managed the project once the design had been finalised, which meant; writing Tooling & Prototype Specifications, sending parts out for quotation from Tooling & Prototype Suppliers in China & Hong Kong and ensuring a smooth handover from design to manufacture. The main focus of the project was to produce a good looking economical design with the main emphasis being on Design for Manufacture.

With the proposed modifications, the thick regions indicated can be removed by adding a feature that allows for the bosses to slot in the pot above. This has a couple of advantages which are; A more uniform wall thickness which ensures a better moulding. The stacking height difference can be reduced from 103mm to 64mm.
University Project Branding Assignment For this project i was tasked with designing a product for a business that sells a service. The business I chose was Mandarin Oriental. Mandarin Oriental are a very exclusive hotel chain based all over the world. Throughout this project I learnt techniques on how to analyse and design for an existing brand which will be discussed on later pages.
Name: University Of California Gold Hex: #C39122 RGB: (195, 145, 34) CMYK: 0, 0.256, 0.825, 0.235
Visual language boards were developed, scrutinised and refined to really understand what the brand is and informed my all of my ideation and development throughout the project.

5th Percentile
The plunger is made from gold wrapped in leather for a luxurious comforting experience. All components the user interacts with are made from gold so the user instinctively knows how to use the corkscrew as well as adding to the sense of luxurious comfort. The housing is made from Cocobolo, a rare premium hardwood, to give the user a worldly experience and a sense of luxurious comfort when in use. The corkscrew moves kinetically like a fan to link back to brand’s slogan ‘I’m a fan’.
95th Percentile
How to use: First rotate the plunger until the cork has been screwed into. The arms will move into an upright position. Once the cork has been screwed, push down on the arms to remove it from the bottle.
The silhouette of the form ranges from the 95th to the 5th percentile of average grip width so that it would feel comfortable in a wide range of hand sizes.
After feedback on the project, mainly that design was ‘too loud’. The materials were initially selected to try and fit the brand but I refined the design further to have a more muted aesthetic by using stainless steel and mahogany instead of cocobolo and gold.
University Project Design Engineering Assignment This project was for my Product Design Engineering assignment at university and was started as a group project. The task was to design a slingshot capable of firing three 40mm squash balls in succession using 3m of bungee cord. The slingshot must weigh less than 25kg, be operable by a single person and fire at least 10m. I was elected group leader and my role was to co-ordinate the group, design the charging mechanism and trigger, create the General Assembly in solidworks and to complete the required calculations. We won the prize for the most original and interesting mechanism although the design is still not yet fully functional. This project is still being developed by myself individually.
Test Rigs used to explore different mechanisms, measuring the forces generated from the bungee cords at a set distance and the form factor.. Mechanisms were tested to find out how best to charge the slingshot as well as to determine the spring constant of the bungee system.
Top: Initial full prototype. The frame was complex and difficult to make accurately. This lead to a revision of the frame. After the frame was revised the mechanism to fire the squash ball was tested which was succesful.
Even though the mechanism was functional it was too powerful. The squash ball carrier sheared through the charging rack. The transfer of energy was also inefficient. Future developments are to let the carrier fully extend forward rather than braking and to have the charging rack in a position where it does not impact the carrier during launch.
University Project Individual Project - OctopEye This project investigates the current 3D printing timelapse trend and if there is room for innovation. Disclaimer: This project was completed during Co-Vid 19 in isolation. I tried not to let a global pandemic affect my design process but there were still some effects which were inevitable such as being limited with my research methods. Videos of how to use the product and a timelapse produced on the OctopEye can be found at: Timelapse https://youtu.be/qTfLKMitalU How to use it https://youtu.be/jl4-7wd-Wb4
Why are timelapse’s made? 3D printed timelapses are primarily created for two reasons. Social media content & Marketing Many 3D printing businesses such as Prusa and Creality are now using timelapses to market thier machines. Others are using timelapses to market thier 3D printing services whilst some are creating them to be posted as entertainment on thier social media account. Education & Forensic Analysis Timelapses can be used to educate about the 3D printing process by showing how the object is built up in layers. If a print fails the timelapse can also be a useful way of identifying where the print failed. Based on this information either the 3D printing parameters or the design of the object itself can be tweaked to produce a successful print. How do you make a timelapse? The most common method for creating a timelapse is through a plugin called Octolapse for Octoprint. Octoprint is a open-source program used to control a 3D printer remotely via a rasperry pi. Octolapse is a plug-in available for Octoprint which produces high quality timelapses automatically.
Print Head
3D Print
After a layer is completed, the print head moves off to the side and the bed is centred. The camera then records for three seconds after which the print is resumed.
Everytime a layer is completed the process is repeated again.
Once the print has completed, each three second recording is then composited to form a timelapse which gives the illusion of a print ‘growing’ from thin air.
Business Model Research & Competitor Analysis Whilst there aren’t any direct competitors there are camera sliders available on the market. They are typically priced between £200-£500. A new way of delivering products is to sell a ‘print-your-own’ kit. This allows for a minimal compromise in quality whilst being significantly cheaper to produce and sell to the consumer.
When a print starts OctopEye retreives the print height, current layer and if the 3D printer is is printing.
OctopEye then calculates the distance needed to move per layer. Every time a layer change occurs the camera moves by the calculated increment. The angular postion of the camera is calculated within the code using trigonometry to ensure the camera tracks the print. The angular position is dependent on the position of the camera on the rail and is accurate to 1/32 of a degree.
A kinetic timelapse is then created.

Development began by first testing how to control a carriage on a rail with a joystick. After this was achieved further iterations developed the rotating camera platform to allow for tracking. Numerous iterations were needed to develop the static shaft and platform in order to ensure the belt was properly tensioned without exerting too much force on the shaft. Initially the belt caused the shaft to delaminate but this was remedied by repositioning the belt close to the root of the shaft alongside generous radii to assist in the distribution of stress around the shaft.
After the prototype was working as intended, parts were designed to house the various electronics.

/* Verson 1.22 Development Notes Notes - Carriage movement may have to change from being set to run at a speed to moving to a position with a given speed,acceleration and max speed. Current Features - The Carriage can be moved at a predefined speed using the AccelStepper Library. (See Variable Declaration) - Movement can be controlled with a Joystick. - Carriage will home before the loop begins2 - Set a End stop (Max Distance) within the program. Bugs - When carriage is near it's limits it can overshoot it's limit. May be a mechanical issue (Lack of clearance around the carriage is causing the motor to overstep which is making the position of the carriage inaccurate) Feature Development - Make the Carriage accelerate towards it's max speed when the joystick is at it's extreme. Features to be added - 'In' and 'Out' Positions to be set using physical buttons. - 'Run' Sequence triggered by a physical button. 'Run' Sequence will transition from 'In' Position to 'Out' Position over at set amount of time. */ // Libraries #include <AccelStepper.h> #include <MultiStepper.h> // Pin Definitions #define JOYX A0 // Joystick X Pin #define XLS 9 // X Limitswitch #define rZLS 10 // rZ Limitswitch // Define stepper motors and pins AccelStepper X(1, 6, 7); // (Driver, STEP, DIR) AccelStepper rZ(1, 5, 4); // (Driver, STEP, DIR) // Create instance of MultiStepper MultiStepper StepperControl; // Define Global Variables int XSPEEDMAX = -2000; // X Max Carriage Speed int XSPEED = -750; // X Carriage Speed int rZSPEEDMAX = -2000; // rZ Max Carriage Speed int rZSPEED = -1000; // rZ Carriage Speed int JOYXPOS = 0; // Default Joystick X Position float rZRATIO = (1 / 4) ; // Stepper to pulley ratio V1.22 int XENDSTOP = 2826 ; // Endstop step Position int XSTARTSTOP = -2826 ; // Startstop Position int XOFFSET = -3025 ; // X switch offset int rZOFFSET = -1686 ; // rZ switch offset // int rZ0 = 240 ; // rz zero position float XMMPERSTEP = 0.025; // X Stepper Distance per step (mm) float rZDEGPERSTEP = 0.03125; // rZ Degrees per step double YDIST = 350; // Object tracking Y distance float RAD2DEG = 180 / 3.14159265; // Radians to Degree conversion void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); Serial.println("Communication Successful"); // initial seed values for X X.setMaxSpeed (XSPEEDMAX); X.setSpeed (XSPEED); rZ.setMaxSpeed (rZSPEEDMAX); rZ.setSpeed (rZSPEED); // Pins pinMode(XLS, INPUT); // X Limit Switch pinMode(rZLS, INPUT); // rZ Limit Switch pinMode(2, OUTPUT); // Stepper Pins pinMode(3, OUTPUT); pinMode(5, OUTPUT); pinMode(6, OUTPUT); pinMode(JOYX, INPUT); // Joystick Pin // Instances for MultiStepper - In this case it is not needed but it is useful for future versions where multiple steppers may be added StepperControl.addStepper(X); StepperControl.addStepper (rZ); // Home X Rail Serial.println("Homing..."); while (digitalRead(XLS) != 0) // Whilst the switch is not equal to 0 { X.setSpeed(XSPEED); // Set Speed to X Speed X.runSpeed(); // Run at defined speed X.setCurrentPosition(XOFFSET); // When switch is pressed set position to X offset } Serial.println("X-Switch Pressed"); Serial.println("X Stepper Moving to Position 'XSTARTSTOP' "); delay(20); // Wait 0.02 Seconds while (X.currentPosition() != XSTARTSTOP) { X.setSpeed(-XSPEED); // Set Speed to -X Speed
