PROFILE
| |||||||||||||
|
I have a keen interest in the world around me particularly cultures both old and new. A combination of photography, fresh air and travel continues to take up a large proportion of my time outside design. During my placement year I took part in an exchange to San Francisco state university, during this time I carried a DSLR allowing me to capture the raw memories of the cultures, events and people I experienced during my stay.
By experiencing and observing different cultures I have been able to apply the knowledge and experience gained as well as my knowledge of visual skills and mechanical knowledge to strengthen my design projects.

Universal Generator
The JCB 'Universal Generator' focuses on a generator that utilises kinetic energy, and can be set-up into each of the users personal situations to charge up the product. Applications such as; being dragged behind cattle, or used to create a wind turbine can be achieved. The scenarios are endless so long as a rotary motion can be created. The generator is a sustainable solution for developing countries with power needs, that will save money, produce a renewable source of energy and potentially increase new possibilities within life.

Stimuli 3.0 - Intelligent Lighting
The fruition of a 3 year project to create a lighting system whose shape and therefore light output sensitively varies inversely with the surrounding natural light intensity. For example, at dusk, illumination gradually increases as natural light recedes. At the heart of this device is a unique 3 axis gear box which enables this subtle alteration of lighting through an attractive and striking change in form of the device.
