What I can do for you.

Picture

Research

I have conducted very thorough insightful research as part of my studies. I have used a range of research methods and have learnt about a whole deal more!

For me, a properly conducted and in depth research process is what makes a good project, and it should never be under appreciated.

​I also have 4 months professional experience as a research assistant.

Ideation and Sketching

Ideation is a core design skill, and one that I can offer. I can quickly create engaging sketch sheets, full of new ideas and concepts.

I can create quick and detailed workshop sketches to design mechanisms and technical details before testing them in the workshops.

My sketch sheets are both presentable and effective, enabling me to quickly break down my thoughts to clients and explore them in more detail, step by step.

Prototyping

Testing and validating ideas is a strong skill of mine, and often begins with quick card or blue foam models - whatever best suits the task at hand. More robust models can then be made, particularly when testing mechanisms.

I use 3D printing when necessary to create very sturdy test models. I have my own Wanhao Duplicator i3 and know the technology very well.

Technical Design

I can design technical components and products, and can find and source the technology to make them possible.

Another part of my technical design skill is the ability to make products work in terms of assembly, mechanisms and moldings.

Final Models

As with the above photo, I can create high quality models of final designs that provide something tactile to interact with.

These final models can be completely hand made or make use of 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC machining and many other processes.

Visualisations 

Using a mixture of Solidworks, KeyShot and Photoshop, I can make professional and realistic images that put a design into real-world context.

I can also create product animations to show products in a more dynamic way.

Graphics

If you need any graphic design doing, I can create flyers, business cards, brochures and more. The example to the left is an A5 flyer for a local reflexologist.

As part of my degree I also created dynamic and engaging project log books, posters and presentation boards.

And some other skills to mention:

I also have experience costing materials and services, along with sourcing components and materials. I have a high degree of commercial awareness thanks to my studies, and have experience writing business and enterprise plans. I can learn new software quickly, as shown during my enterprise module where I picked up Adobe Premiere Pro in a matter of hours in order to create a compelling sales video. Lastly, I have become very used to presenting work and discussing it with peers and tutors alike.

I am currently learning HTML and CSS. I plan to move on to JavaScript in the future.

This is not a complete list of all my skills - I would be happy to discuss this in more depth.

MY Practice

"My professional practice is inspired by human centered design principles, placing the needs of the user at the forefront and considering their needs and their wants. I always aim to get into the head of the user that I am designing for, considering all possibilities and making the most appropriate decision.

I am also a firm believer in doing good by design, hoping to use my skills to better the lives of others.

My work ethic is extremely high and I aim to excel at everything I do.
