Dyson (NDA Protected)

Due to NDAs and pending releases, I can only share limited details about my work at Dyson.

Supersonic R – NPD Team
I spent eight months developing the filter and inlet for Dyson’s new flagship beauty product, the Supersonic R. The design significantly reduced costs while maintaining performance. This project also led to my first patents.

Airstrait – NPI Team
I worked on refining the diffusers for Airstrait, addressing comfort issues while preserving performance.

Audi Project

Audi R8 3D Modelling & Animation – Personal Project

This personal side project during my second year at university allowed me to deepen my skills in 3D modeling and animation. I used SolidWorks for surface modeling the Audi R8, rendered it in KeyShot 6, and then integrated it into its environment using Photoshop for a seamless final composition.

Greenspace

Greenspace – Final Year Project

Greenspace is my final year university project, designed to bridge the growing gap between shrinking gardening spaces and the rising demand for plant-based diets. It enables users to grow fresh produce indoors year-round, promoting a healthier lifestyle and a more sustainable future.

Surfboard Project

Custom Surfboard Project

When I was injured and unable to surf, I took on the challenge of building my own surfboard—designed to meet my exact specifications. This project gave me insight into the balance between cost and fragility in surfboard construction. It involved a range of skills, including CAD modeling, woodworking, foam shaping, and fiberglassing.

Le Pétit Chef

Le Pétit Chef – Children's Cooking Assistant

Le Petit Chef is a product designed to help children aged 6–8 assist their parents in the kitchen, introducing them to independent cooking in a fun and safe way. The goal was to spark an early interest in cooking, encouraging them to develop lifelong culinary skills.

LogiPad

PCB Integration Project

A technically focused project, treated as professional-grade work. The objective was to design and integrate a PCB within strict component constraints while optimizing a surface area of 3600mm² to seamlessly fit into the chosen design.

Flat Canvas

Group Professional Project

A three-week, self-led project focused on improving the office workspace in areas such as environment, technology, space, or activity. The brief was open-ended, allowing for creative problem-solving. The final project was presented to professionals at BroomeJenkins.

Porsche Razor

Porsche-Inspired Razor – First-Year University Project

This project involved designing a razor influenced by the iconic Porsche brand. Drawing inspiration from the recognizable shape of the Porsche 911—its sportback rear and distinctive protruding arches—the design embodies Porsche’s commitment to quality while ensuring strong ergonomic properties for a refined user experience.

Interior Design

Interior Design Projects & Renders

During my time working in interior design, I played a key role as the lead designer for a small business. I was responsible for creating visuals that enhanced the company's offerings, helping to attract and secure new clients. My work included a range of interior design projects and high-quality renders, showcasing my ability to blend aesthetics with functionality.

Workshop

Workshop Final Pieces

A collection of final pieces created in workshops, allowing me to gain hands-on experience and develop a diverse range of practical skills across various techniques and materials.

MacBook Pro Design Inspired by iPhone X

This personal animation project, created during my university spare time, reimagines the MacBook Pro inspired by the release of the iPhone X. The design features subtle changes that offer significant benefits, serving as both a creative challenge and a test of my animation skills.
