DUPE Final Year / Experimental materials project /
In a world increasingly concerned with questions of energy production and raw material shortages, this project explores innovative and sustainable means of material production.
bacterium “bacillus pasteurii” as a method of cementing natural granular materials using minerals as a binding agent for the creation of useful objects.
The process forms mineral composites at biological temperatures. The biomaterial is structurally comparable to concrete, yet the production of the biomaterial produces no greenhouse gases. Concrete is responsible for 5 2
% of the worlds man made C0 emissions. The biomaterial produced by this process is a stepping stone in the right direction for the reduction of these carbon emissions.
Dupe aims to raise questions about the future of industrial manufacturing and illustrates the sustainable potential that the utilisation of bacillus pasteurii could have with the manufacturing industry. Whilst not providing definitive answers, this experiment aims to provide a point of departure for fresh thinking.

GROOVE Product improvement project /
Groove has a soft organic aesthetic; this differentiates it from the rest of the harsher more industrial looking irons on the market. Groove aims to improve comfort and efficiency while ironing. The joint between the base plate and the body of the iron is there to give an element of flexibility, helping disperse
rounded handle increase comfort. There are grooves in the hot plate for more effectively smoothing around buttons.

Goals
Conclusions Current irons cause discomfort after long periods of use.
Current irons all have a similar aesthetic and material choice. Lacking individuality. Current irons are inefficient with time.
Bring a new friendlier, more appealing aesthetic to the product whilst improving comfort and function.

DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS
Button groove for easier smoothing. Reduces multiple movementments required to smooth around buttons.
Pressure ball for dispensing downward pressure equally. The upper elemetents of the iron move from side to side as you iron for a more comfortable working motion and a better distribution of downward force.

AIRO Brand identity project /
I was given the hairdryer as a product to redesign in the brand image of Dyson.
I investigated the brand in order to understand their ethos, unique selling points and target market.
From this I designed “Airo� a hair dryer that utilizes Dysons impeller technology that is integral in all their products. The hairdryer is largely modelled on the Dyson Hot Fan, paying close attention to the industrial details of Dyson Products.
