Process
Work
Design ProcessA brief overview of how I go about my process of researching,
designing and realising solutions.
Research and IdeationDesign Process
My research phase is broken down into three main categories; researching literature, direct interviews/observations and immersing myself in the area/culture. Ideation occurs during this time to create as wide a range of early concepts to draw on later in the process.
ConceptualisationDesign Process
Using a large number of techniques from ideation, sketch rendering, presentation rendering, 3D mock-ups and test rigs allows me to quickly explore a large number of ideas very quickly.
Design ExplorationDesign Process
Using more refined mock-ups and presentation sketching I can expand off 2D/3D ideation mediums from the previous phase. This exploration also allows me to begin designing the materials, manufacturing and lifecycle of the solution.
Design ExplorationDesign Process
Refinement and development of the chosen solution takes place via detailed sketching, full scale and ergonomic tests, and mechanism development.
3D RefinementDesign Process
Using CAD tools such as Solidworks, Rhino, Maya and the Bunkspeed suite allows me to realise the details and provides me the information I need to carry out FEA analysis, materials testing and begin to develop the way in which full lifecycle of the product will occur.
3D RefinementDesign Process
This section allows me to view the project not only from purely a design perspective, but to look at the business viability, sustainability, marketing and branding of the project. Costing every component is essential so an accurate view of manufacturing and assembly can take place.
Design RealisationDesign Process
Creating models and prototypes both in scale and in full sized allows me to bring all the details together and properly present the solution in a complete package. These full scale prototypes allow the interaction with my designs which is often a key factor of the overall solution.

Urbanspeed
Featured on Yanko Design
With high expenses, current bike share systems aren’t able to be used by poorer cities who don’t feature high budgets.
Bike stations take up massive amounts of public space, often in crowded downtown areas.
With a failure to integrate with public transportation, bike share systems are confined only to certain parts of cities.
Maintenance operations are required on bikes regularly to keep them in running condition.
Urbanspeed ProjectNovember 2011My research focused on the problems of public bike share’s and private cyclists with the aim of creating one solution that could be applied to these large markets.
Urbanspeed ProjectNovember 2011My process started with creating 250 concepts on post-its and re-sketching them into a book. Then I explored 50 of these ideas onto larger paper before creating complete concepts to develop.
Urbanspeed ProjectNovember 2011With the low price point being such a factor, many mock-ups were done to explore the easiest way to create the frame using low-tech production methods and materials on a high volume scale.
Urbanspeed compacts down which makes for extremely efficient storage in bike share and private storage situations
Drastically reducing the footprint means bike share racks integrate much easier into public areas.
Utilising high manufacturing volumes means Urbanspeed
reaches a lower end cost.
Compressing to 22% of the footprint of a conventional
bicycle allows easy storage.
Low-maintenance design uses such features as belt-drive tech
to lower overall running costs
A full range of accessories allows the user to build the bike
how local needs dictate.
A single cast component allows movement, gives structure and ensures longevity.
Quick-release levers allow the frame to be compressed and set at a length to suit the riders body size.
Belt drive technology provides longevity, efficiency and eliminates almost all maintenance.
Flat Pack Chair
Flat Pack ChairProjectNovember 2009The chair is manufactured from 4.75mm recycled polypropylene, which is laser cut or stamped to form the central shape and supporting straps.
Flat Pack ChairProjectNovember 2009The gentle flexible nature of the Flat Pack Chair moulds and adapts to the users body shape, whether they are sitting upright and reading a book on the beach, or reclining in the sun.
92% material efficiency
All material waste is recycled back into usable polypropylene to construct more units.
Straps utilise tension to completely eliminate fixtures.
Single operation, flat pack manufacturing cuts down time and greatly lowers shipping costs
Made from 100% recycled polypropylene
Designed to utilise existing products at the end of their life cycle and reuse them.
With a 80-85% recovery rate to turn recycled polypropylene into usable, mouldable granules.
With the global average price of raw polypropylene rising by 5% p.a and the environmental affects of plastic production becoming evident, recycling existing materials is becoming increasingly important.
Fixture design was a key component as the simplified form meant that every detail would be visible.
A lot of time was spent designing strong, simple straps that hid created a flat comfortable surface and used no third party materials.
Flat Pack ChairProjectNovember 2009With a fixture-less design, two straps use a tensioning style of joinery to provide the shape and strength to the main body.
Utilising polypropylenes ‘live-hinge’ properties gives strength and creates comfort.
Flat Pack ChairProjectNovember 2009Assembled in under 3 minutes with no fixtures, the chair provides a simple, comfortable and relaxing solution for on the beach or around the home.
Touch
Touch ProjectDecember 2010In response to a brief I was given to ‘design light’ I decided to create a visual aid for sight impaired people to aid them in easily navigating public spaces.
Utilising low tech design lowers the cost and makes the design more accessible for everyone.
The interaction with the hand needed to explain how to hold the device.
I needed to create one unit to replace the need for both the sight stick and guide dog.
Touch ProjectDecember 2010The Touch handheld device allows the visually impaired to explore social spaces whilst only subtly holding a small handheld device
Touch ProjectDecember 2010With a touch sensitive pad and small shifting weight, the product informs the user how to get to their destination and what is around them simultaneously. It uses simple infrared led’s and a GPS chip, technology far inferior to the average mobile phone.

The unit contains a weight that is shifted along the front edge to provide the user a sense of direction.

2011 EDF Sustainable Design
2nd Place - People’s Choice award
Zero Emissions House
2nd Place - Social Innovation award
Sustainability 3.0 Exhibition“Beauty, Brains and Brawn”
Zem House ProjectApril 2011The Zero EMissions housing project was run from August 2010 until April 2011 and challenged a team of 26 mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, industrial design, business and public policy students to design and build a 100 square foot house on the San Jose State university campus.
Zem House ProjectApril 2011My role was primarily how the target user of a recent college graduate used and interacted with the structure of the ZEM house.
An interactive structure facilitates food production, socialisation, storage and insulation.
Green-walls, a roof garden and planters insulate and cool the house in summer, whilst trapping heat during winter
An angled front wall contributes to a passive solar design.
Angled solar panels provide power for the home.
Prefabricated panels greatly reduce build time and the waste is recycled.
Passive solar design ensures heat is captured or reflected when needed.
A roof garden allows the user to grow food and reduces their impact on the surrounding environment.
Zem House ProjectApril 2011Creating a full Bill Of Materials for our design and having to keep it under $15,000 forced us to realise the real world costs of our design and work with the business students to make sure our sales model’s were justified.
Zem House ProjectApril 2011Through using structurally insulated panels (SIP’s), optimised building methods, sustainable joinery and finishing, the ZEM house impacts the environment 2.5 times less than a regular ‘stick frame’ style house.
Okala Lifecycle Analysis
Ghost Kettle
Ghost Kettle ProjectAugust 2009Ghost kettle represents a fun new way of approaching the kettle with the design very much aesthetically representing the way in which the user interacts with the product.
Contoured base provides power and contrasts the water jug section.
Handle doubles as a switch, activating when pushed downwards.
Green light reflects on the body to indicate if the kettle is currently switched on
Second arm acts as a spout and allows safe pouring of hot water.
Eye retracts to allow filling
Ghost Kettle ProjectAugust 2009Doing a Life Cycle Analysis report forced me to list every component, its environmental impact how its is manufactured, how it goes through its lifecycle and all of the other above steps as shown in the Okala book.

Okala impact analysis shows the harm of certain aspects of each product, with my Ghost kettle being slightly more sustainable than common market products due largely to part minimisation and simplification.
Flask
FlaskProjectApril 2011Designing an everyday object to use unorthodox materials drove me to design an ornamental hip flask that uses cork and ceramic to create a sculptural piece.
This exercise was done in an effort to better understand the two materials ahead of my ‘Rocker Stool’ project, which also uses cork and the slip casting process.

Rocker Stool
Rocker StoolProjectApril 2011Designed to evoke a playful reaction, Rocker Stool is a low seat that invites the user to investigate it. Black sand is placed inside the slip cast ceramic shell so when the user stands up the stool remains tilted to the last angle, creating a ‘ghost’ of the previous interaction.
This project allowed me to learn a new process in slip casting and experiment with ceramics. I began creating a number of small items to learn the nuances before attempting a full size piece of furniture.
Mould design became essential and as I began to build further knowledge of ceramics, I settled on a three piece mould, which would be much easier to work with than an incredibly heavy two piece. It also meant I didn’t have to worry about undercuts on the base.
I had to design and test my materials extensively as with ceramics shrinkage out of the mold and through the firing process is very evident and can change the size by around 14-17%. these means my mold and master was made 16% larger.
Dried ‘bone-ware’ after shrinkage and prior to firing.
Fresh ‘green-ware’ directly after casting.
Rocker StoolProjectApril 2011In the latter stages of the project I was selected to exhibit in the Milan Salone Satellite under the organisation ‘mbrela’. During this time I was still learning the process of slip casting and couldn’t afford to ship a large porcelain piece with me so I decided to create a fiberglass replica to show.
Rocker StoolProjectApril 2011I was luck enough to exhibit at the Milan Salone Satellite 2011, Neocon East in Baltimore and ICFF in New York all underneath the ‘Mbrela’ name. This was an awesome experience and creating this functional, travelable prototype really helped in expressing the movement and interaction between the user and the piece.
