MYX Legacy For my Design & Technology A-Level project at St. Columba’s College Sixth Form, I designed & built my final speaker system; MYX Legacy. I developed a brief for a high-performance and versatile sound system that would be commissioned by the Head of Sixth Form for use in the common room by over 100 students. Standing proud on three structural brushed steel pillars, the Legacy incorporates a large THX-Certified ported subwoofer inside the lower enclosure. The internal amplifier was adapted to feed four 4� coaxial speakers mounted on arms for broad sound projection. A three-way RGB lighting system was developed and mounted behind frosted acrylic; independently controlled by colour illuminated switches on the front user interface panel. The Legacy incorporated five charging docks for students to charge iPods or iPhones, back-lit by concealed LEDs for an atmospheric glow.

Sutton Court Rd, W4 Full three storey renovation and rear kitchen extension During my time at Hamilton King, I introduced 3D visualisation of the floor plans and elevation drawings to the company. Working with Google Sketchup Pro, Podium V2 rendering package and Photoshop, I brought the 2D drawings to life in a way that our clients found much easier and enjoyable to understand. The 3D modelling also became a fundamental asset to the design team as ideas could quickly be tested and developed with a considered awareness for the surrounding constraints. The renders were also extremely beneficial to our contractors on site to help explain specific design features and building techniques. My 3D renders were printed to enable the design team and I to trace over the existing house to sketch new proposals for our client meetings. The benefit of this contribution also proved extremely useful during planning application submissions to help negotiate around restrictions and assess neighbours concerns.

Before
Design, build and installation of cupboard doors One of my first projects at Hamilton King was to design and detail a set of distressed antique white doors to conceal shelves full of childrens toys. The house renovation was the first project completed by Hamilton King and the family are in regular contact for new updates and changes.
After
My detailed specification drawings were sent to a specialist craftsman to build, install and paint the doors. The house was featured in the October 2014 edition of Homes & Gardens; showcasing the new doors across a double page spread.

AHDB - Beef & Lamb SIAL - International Food Expo Paris, France 16th - 20th October, 2016 The brief for this 300m2 stand was inspired by the aesthetic of a modern British pub. AHDB were exhibiting their beef and lamb exports in Paris, and wanted to create an iconic landmark within the exhibition hall. To fund the stand build, AHDB advertise smaller areas for hire within the main stand for co-exhibitors to feed off the attraction & buzz for their smaller independent exhibiting goals. The stand design featured 16 of these areas, along with a double sided bar to encourage an equal flow around the stand to limit congestion.

MacGregor SMM Hamburg Messe, Germany 6th - 9th September, 2016 Macgregor are responsible for cargo handling and were exhibiting at SMM - a global maritime show in Germany. The brief asked for a double deck design with a marine inspired theme. I tried to mimic a shipping dock yard feel with the tall arching structures and red tension cables similar to those around a ship deck. The design leant itself to natural high level branding to avoid the cost involved with rigged banners. A bespoke reception desk and bar were also designed in line with the slanted style of the main stand structure.

Exa Education Bett Show Excel, London 25th - 28th January, 2017 To promote the forward and future thinking of Exa Education; an IT service provider for schools, we proposed a “back to the future� inspired twist to the design theme. The proposal also included the hire of a replica Delorean vehicle to act as the main attractor to the stand. The logic was to encourage people to take photos with the vehicle, and thus of the stand, creating a buzz around this area of the hall. The surrounding facilities and features of the stand were adapted to reflect elements and themes from the icon film, for further reinforcement of the message.
Transas SMM Hamburg Messe, Germany 6th - 9th September, 2016 SMM is the worlds leading biannual maritime trade fair for shipbuilding, machinery and marine equipment. It attracts 2100 exhibitors and 50,000 visitors. Transas provide simulation equipment to train cargo ship drivers. The design brief requested high level branding with suspended 80� TV screens. This had to be built from bespoke metalwork to distribute the load and meet regs. A custom split level circular bar was a focal point to the stand beneath an illuminated logo sign.

Drapes, black ceiling lining and multiple warm white halogen spot lights were used to simulate the home environment for her potential customers wishing to achieve a realistic impression of the fabric quality and colour. It also featured a custom painted wall finish completed on site. The client was delighted with the end result and the exhibition won the award for stand of the show.

Interactive Touch Screen Worldpay Concepts As part of Worldpay’s large annual marketing agenda, I proposed some interactive iPad and touch screen display unit concepts. These would be featured on exhibition stands and conference areas to increase a sense of brand engagement and loyalty across different touch points.
Phone Charging Station Branded for Worldpay Another addition to Worldpays brand assets for use at conferences and exhibition stands was this freestanding phone charging unit. It was equipped with a multi-adapter cable to allow a variety of devices to be charged in each compartment. I produced the concept in 3D and then broke it down into component parts for manufacture in our workshop. I collaborated closely with the craftsmen to integrate the power requirements seamlessley into the structure.
Worldpay Product Expo Rethink: eCommerce W Hotel, Barcelona 9th - 11th September 2015 Project::4 have the contract for Worldpay’s annual eCommerce marketing agenda. As part of this I was included in the layout and 3D interactive zones for their 3-day conference in Barcelona. The conference attracted over 250 guests. I produced and handled all artwork for the printed agenda/ concertina, feedback forms, name badges directional signage and stage set. This was a demanding task as the supplied content was being amended continuously. A new addition to Worldpay’s conference agenda was the Product Expo. I proposed a method to demonstrate their three products for each of the five categories. - promoting customer flow around all areas in the room.
Worldpay ICE Totally Gaming Excel, London 2nd - 4th February, 2016 This project was a development from the exhibition stand used at the 2015 show shown in the two images next to this text -> To increase the customer draw to the stand, red accents were introduced, along with a bespoke drinks bar with an integrated pic’n’mix display. Branded cake pops were also suggested to mimic the swirl of their logo.

Following the rebrand of Betgenius, they approached us to come up with interesting ideas to celebrate their logo and branding in their offices. I proposed the concept of a 3D bench seat, mimicking the circular icon in their logo. This would encourage both staff and customers to interact and connect with their brand in a physical form, reinforcing their familiarity and loyalty with its appearance.

I graduated from Brunel University in July 2015 with a First Class BSc (Hons) in Product Design with Professional Practice.
The
following
section
provides an insight into some of the projects that I immersed myself in.
Grand Piano Clock Level 1: Plastics workshop module Brief: To design and fabricate a clock inspired by an artist As a pianist myself, my direction for the project brief interoperated music as the inspired art form. Scaled proportionally to all 88 individually cut and mounted keys, the Grand Piano clock developed my dimensional strategy skills.
SolidWorks Cartridge Gun Level 2: Design for Manufacture and Communication module Brief: Develop SolidWorks modelling, rendering and assembly skills through the dimensionally accurate presentation of a chosen product To challenge and develop my software skills, I chose a product that would require the use of many tools to create the components profiles and contours. The project was accompanied by a written report detailing all stages and processes covered.
Photoshop Level 1: Graphic communication Aston Martin 4x4 concept car To support my Graphic design photomontage project, I experimented further with the Photoshop tools. Working from an image of the 2010 4-door Aston Martin Rapide, I developed it into a 4x4 concept. My inspiration came as a response to Aston Martin’s preview of the Lagonda 4x4 exhibited at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show (below). My exploration of a 4x4 concept aims to maintain existing design style.

Human centred design for a Chopping Board Level 2: Design process Brief: Establish core brand values and a CMF language for a new family of innovative food preparation products. Following a group branding report, we diverged to develop individual concepts that would each form a visually related family of products. The chopping board provides a human centred and intuitive approach to food preparation. Specific design features have been combined to assist the accuracy of tasks and reducing mess whilst transferring chopped food items. Inspiration:
Human centred design for a paint roller

Results of usability tests and critical analysis of learning outcomes from the investigation to remedy identified problems Wrist: Ulnar Deviation Grip: Shear
Bent handle orientation (testing)
Wrist: Neutral Grip: Compression
Wrist: Neutral Grip: Compression
Experience & fatigue Painting and decorating is a task performed by people of varying levels of skill and experience. The preparation involved induces fatigue before the tool is even used.
The image of the traditional paint roller forces the wrist into an ulnar deviation position. Furthermore, the orientation of the handle relies 100% on the grip of the users hand to apply force to the wall. This force is acting in shear along the axis of the handle. The image of the hand saw puts the wrist in a neutral position and all force is transferred in compression; perpendicular to the axis of the handle. By bending the arm of a paint roller, this transfer of force can be investigated.
Minimising required operating forces As the onset of fatigue is present prior use, the paint tool should minimise the number of forces required from the user to complete the task to avoid exhaustion. All of the variations tested required multiple forces during use.
Paint coverage efficiency The qualitative survey identified a common problem with uneven paint coverage of traditional paint rollers. As a result, the user has to complete several up-down motions with the tool over the same area to achieve an even finish. This repetitive motion is a leading cause for RSI and shoulder injuries - also contributing towards fatigue and duration of the task.
_
The usability principals suggest that a product should provide a choice in the method of use. The extension pole of variation 2 enables far better reach without over stretching.
Of the 5 E’s, the survey identified a need to improve efficiency, effectiveness and engagement of the tool. These regard the performance of paint coverage.
Comfortable wrist angle to avoid RSI and tendinitis The task of painting involves highly repetitive motions to cover the full wall area of a room. As a result, it is important to keep the wrist in a neutral position to avoid injuries such as carpel tunnel syndrome or RSI. Flexion
Single pass motion (only one stroke)
Double pass motion (up-down stroke) x2
Force should be distributed evenly (variation 3 right) by the handle to avoid unnecessary forces on the users hand. Variation 1 induced a torsional force (left below). Applied force is focused to the resultant force
Ulnar Deviation x1 Patchy paint transfer
Single arm flexes Even paint transfer
Redesigned paint roller concept Physical working prototype: Inclusive, adjustable & extendible double paint roller with splash guards The traditional paint roller forces the wrist into an awkward and painful position during use. This re-designed concept has an adjustable handle to keep the wrist in a neutral position at all times at any wall height. There is no leverage force acting on the wrist as all applied force is focused to the resultant force.
Guards prevent the rollers from touching an adjacent wall to avoid over-paint
Cognitive colour recognition of adjustment button
Splash guards avoid paint drips and errors
Cognitive colour recognition of extension pole screw-in location
This re-designed concept uses two rollers to provide a better coverage of paint in one single movement. This reduces the frequency of “up-down” motions, avoiding excessive fatigue on the shoulder joint - a leading cause of painful injuries. The user has the option to screw in an extending pole to the end of the handle to make higher wall areas easier to reach.
The tool is equitable and flexible to satisfy the usability principals. The screw-in pole enables greater reach without over stretching. The 5th%ile of women (5ft 1”) can reach full wall height comfortably.

vibrating sponge ATTACHMENT Human centred user experience design
Ra h
im
Taking inspiration from electric toothbrushes and motorised palm sanders; this pressure activated oscillating sponge attachment significantly reduces the need for physical effort whilst cleaning kitchens and bathrooms. It aims to address the fatigue and discomfort that emerged from focus group testing; featuring a refillable detergent spray for convenience.
Rh

a
Compatible with standard replaceable sponges
design features
Waterproof charging The sealed internal battery gets power from an induction charging base, avoiding the need for metal contact points or battery changes.
Motorised vibrations
Pressure activated oscillating motion helps to remove stains without the need for intense scrubbing, reducing the physical effort required. Less vigorous movement promotes stress reduction without getting hands dirty.
Tactile rubber grip
Use of colour for cognitive recognition of interaction points and soft touch rubber to enhance user comfort. Affordable replacement sponges encourage more hygienic transition between kitchens and bathrooms.
Integrated spray pump
A refillable internal reservoir stores your choice of detergent spray to provide convenient onehanded cleaning action; enhancing the task efficiency and appeal as identified in the focus group.
Contextual Design (Still in progress) GoPro brand repositioning proposal for 5-10 years in the future responding to contextual issues in society, company success and the well-being trend. Redefining the appeal of protective safety equipment to empower the user with confidence, delivering a proactive preventative approach rather than traditional responsive methods. GoPro has established innovative ways to communicate through technological symbiosis. This ethos forms the foundation for a new Sixth Sense range of products: empowering the ability to communicate with your surroundings. With the strength of GoPro’s online community, there is potential to transform the stigma of using safety equipment to actively save lives. Be a Hero.

BMW 118d Coupe Custom integrated TomTom SatNav system in the passenger air-vent (hard-wired to the ignition feed) Due to the frustration of trailing cables, suction mounts concerns of theft, I wanted to design a way to mount my TomTom Satellite Navigation unit more permanently. I removed the dashboard air vent and stripped out the passenger side adjustment fins. After sealing the vent, I cut away material to fit the TomTom into the cavity. Before The TomTom was moulded into the air vent using filler to make it appear like a “factory-fit” option.

Bespoke Breakfast Bar Design and build of a three seater bespoke fitted breakfast bar for a paying client After struggling to find a breakfast table suitable for a small kitchen, a family friend asked me to design and build a bespoke wall mounted three seater breakfast bar.

Fish Tank Restoration Refurbishment of a Juwel 450 litre fish tank, wrapped in textured white wood effect vinyl The existing fish tank cabinetry had suffered cosmetic scratches and some minor water damage during previous ownership. It was thus purchased for a very cheap price and restored to a “brand new� condition using high quality wood effect vinyl.
Rabbit Hutch Extension Customised open-plan adaptation of two individual rabbit hutches. The individual rabbit hutches (as shown in the first photo) formed a traditional four-walled structure. The custom design of an open-plan living space for the rabbits was engineered to remove the upper and lower structural load bearing dividing walls and join the two hutches together. Reinforcing joists were installed to support the load and hutch structure. The double pitch roof was drained into a central gutter to prevent internal leakage. The removed walls were re-fabricated to create the central extension section to bridge the two hutches together.
