Illustration/Image• Photoshop CS4• Illustrator CS4• In Design CS4
As a designer I believe my greatest skill is my creativity; being able to really break boundaries with my designs and explore new and exciting avenues of any concept. I also pride myself on by time keeping, and not only my ability to work well within a team, but also to manage when the time is called for it.
I have a good knowledge of manufacture methods and techniques in a variety of common place and luxury materials, and if needed I can be very hands on; making models out of anything I can get my hands on to best depict a developing idea. I also have a good understanding of electronics and circuits, especially with lighting.
My sketching skills are something I pride myself on, and I almost always start any design project by brainstorming ideas though a hand drawn medium.

‘The creative habit is like a drug. The particular obsession changes, but the excitement,
the thrill of your creation lasts.’

HYDRA Concept Hygiene
The common toilet cleaning implements have not radically changed for about 70 years, this has left private and public rest rooms with a product that is outdated and unhygienic. The Hydra toilet cleaning
tool was designed to be extremely hygienic whilst also being a superior piece of cleaning apparatus.
This product was in response to the NHS Super Virus epidemic and was submitted as my final project at University.
Material: White PVC ShellThermoplastic Elastomer Polypropylene Blades

AEON Concept Light
The Aeon is an energy efficient LED light that was designed to be multi-functional. To make this possible magnetic ports were
integrated on the top, bottom, back, and sides of the unit. It could be attached to other units as an expansive piece of strip lighting, or
arranged on a wall as a piece of sculptural illumination.
This lighting design was created for the PHILLIPS Student Lighting Design Competition 2010
Material: Semi-Translucent White AcrylicCreation Date: March 2010
HUB Concept Energy
In the current economical climate, the development of alternative energy solutions is attracting more and more interest. The HUB or
Household waste Utilizing Bio-digester uses waste green food products to fuel a grow chamber for kitchen herbs and plants,
providing heat, light, and nutrient soil; the perfect environment for flora.
This product was in response to the raise in petrol prices and press articles on how the UK had more Landfill sites than any other
country in the EU.
Material: Powder Coated AluminiumMild Steel

N700 Transport Interior
The N700 Bullet Train is Japan’s fastest train link. It is a testament to modern engineering.
This project was aimed at developing new interior design concepts of the N700 bullet train, and its massive number of daily
commuters. In my first year at University I designed a range of futur-istic carriage furniture.
This project was for a presentation to the Senior Executive and Chief Engineer of Japanese Rail who were visiting the UK for talks
concerning the UK’s North to South Bullet train.
Creation Date: November 2007

D-LINE TABLECoffee Table
This piece, designed for Phillip Michael Wolfson’s D-line series, is a union of two dynamic forms as a supporting structure for a low
coffee table.The element of functionality also played a role in the design of this
table as the form also works well storing associated items like magazines and books; potentially enhancing the aesthetics of the piece, rather than diminishing it by adding complex distractions to
its overall shape.
