Sketch Development
During the design process I was inspired by Biomimicry and the design of nature

Throughout the design process I was consistently speaking with the user about their thoughts on each design. Until I got to a concept that both the user and I liked.

02 LEAR
Designing a versatile virtual reality headset concept tailored for diverse educational user groups, providing an immersive learning experience.
Duration
Project Type 20 Weeks
Group project with Korean Students
Problem
“Learning is a part of our lives, Can't you make it easier and smarter?”

You have to learn to live in society building tool that gives you basic knowledge.



in your old age Companion Role Tools.


Market Research

According to market research, most companies currently have products for life, work, and leisure life. So if you're designing XR for life and education. It was determined that there would be marketability and the project was then carried out.
The positioning and spider maps show that each company has a different concept for how they want to use their products, but there is a common thread of trying to be lightweight and minimalist in design. While many products use controllers, gesture interactions such as eye tracking and pinching are gaining traction.




Ideation
We conducted numerous iterations of VR headset designs, collaboratively refining our ideas to develop the final concepts.







Modelling











From the concepts we created, we modelled them and selected two final designs to carry forward.



Function
Based on the results of user interviews, we identified the main functions that could address the pain points experienced by users in each age group.

03
Spiced Bhutan
Designing a South Asian based, long term, multi-use food packaging meal kit that provides an experience, created via injection moulding
Duration
Project Type 10 Weeks
Individual project with Robinson plc, Starpack Awards
Problem 63.2%
63.2% report using convenience cooking products, such as pre-chopped vegetables or ready-made sauces
A study observed that home-cooked meals can place significant stress on families, particularly those with lower to middle incomes.


Challenges include catering to everyone's tastes, balancing cooking time with quality family time, and providing fresh or organic produce.


Research
Due to my personal connection with South Asian culture I was inspired by lunchboxes and food packaging that is commonly seen/used within the culture.




The Dish to base my product around is Keema and Rice with a side of Naan, Poppadom and Mint Chutney, a very famous and staple among South Asian households, as well as my personal favourite home meal.


Technical

Each packaging part aids portioning, simplifies meal prep for long-term use, and encourages beginners and children to join the cooking process

Injection moulding is ideal for precise, complex packaging and mass production with food-safe, recyclable materials.


Modelling

Paper Modelling




Utilizing the 3D print, I successfully created the meal, which is based on Keema and Rice with a side of Naan, Poppadom, and Mint Chutney. The design also stores within the base, perfect for long term storage.

Create a working land mine detection robot, fit for any environment that can be used to detect mines making it safer for civilians in need of refuge
Duration
Project Type 10 Weeks
Group project with TRAMPA BOARD
Problem Statement
Angola has extensive landmine contamination, with 67.43 square kilometers of land affected across 936 areas in 16 provinces


Anti-Personnel Land Mines

Landmines searched Manually
Explosive removal boosts local economies by enhancing trade routes and enabling overall socio-economic advancements.
