// Ericsson Chatboard // 1999 (Above) Product Designers have the expertise and an ability to combine design, engineering and technology to create solutions that enable a better quality of life for users. I was a member of the design team for the Ericsson Chatboard (1999) which enabled seamless touch-type communication through iconography and colour coding. |

// ByProducts 2.0 // 2013 (Above) Working with a team of engineers and designers, I develop the Bio-unit sanitary bin for Rentokil Initial which has a highly compact vertical form factor that could be wall mounted or freestanding. The bin has a unique feature with hinges located at the corner and the sloping lid ensured that the weight and centre of gravity of the cover will ensure that the lid will always be firmly closed. The Bio-unit was highly successful as it achieved a good balance of engineering and aesthetics. |

// ByProducts 2.0 // 2013 (Above) ByProducts was inspired by a simple idea, where functional and useful items can be created from discarded industrial off-cuts. As a result, two projects have been developed. The first was a set of furniture based on the shapes of speaker off-cuts. ByProducts 2.0 is a set of stationery that have been created from plastic off-cuts. Through very minimal rework, these off-cuts now have a functional use and a meaningful purpose. For instance, adding a simple groove to the top of the plastic tube transforms the once discarded object into a useful pen organiser. The stationery set comprises a set of bookstands, a pen organiser and a name card holder. Featured in DesignSpotter (June 2013). |

// ByProducts // 2011 (Above) ByProducts was inspired by a simple idea, where functional and useful items can be created from discarded industrial off-cuts. In this series, a commission was received from a wood-based company that constructs speaker housing units. As a result, high quality birch off-cuts that are usually discarded have been developed into a furniture system for children. They have been designed with simplicity in mind, keeping the use of tools minimal and no screws or fixtures are required for assembly. Featured in DesignWeek Magazine (20 Jan 2011) & on the ICSID (International Council for the Society of Industrial Design) website. |

// ClampLight // 2007 (Above) Inspired by the humble
workshop clamp, the lamp serves to be functional in its utilitarian
outlook, and performs well as a single unit, or as a system of lights in
terms of aesthetic unity or as a functional system. This product was
produced using Additive Manufacture in 2007. |

// iLight // 2005 (Above) Work from postgraduate studies, Loughborough University (Loughborough Design School). This was a project during the MSc course which secured a distinction, leading to the highest combined overall grade in the cohort. The ambient vehicle lighting system was conceptualised from market research to design development, electronic circuit design, rapid prototyping, testing and packaging.

// FutureSafe Civilian Readiness Kit // 2004 (Above) Work from undergraduate studies, Central Saint Martin's College of Art & Design (University of the Arts, London). The FutureSafe Civilian Readiness Kit was a conceptual protection gear that could be purchased from vending machines across London and other major cities of the world. The proposition was that civilians should play a more active role to protect themselves rather than to reply solely on the emergency services. This was a major project during the BA (hons) degree course and it secure a distinction. The design was featured in the Icon Magazine, June 2003; was exhibited in the UNDU Exhibition in London, 2003; and also won a finalist prize in the Core77 Security Competition, 2003.

// FutureHome // 2004 (Above) Work from undergraduate studies, Central Saint Martin's College of Art & Design (University of the Arts, London). The FutureHome was a visionary all-in-one food preparation unit that was a result from extensive user observations and focus groups. Projected trends show the future homes would be smaller and space would be a premium in high density city living. The FutureHome unit incorporates a refrigeration system with shelves that allow an easier way to retrieve food. The shelving system divides food into vegetables, meat and freezer compartments. The top surface acts as a worktop chopping board, while the dome is a microwave cooking unit.

// Magis // 2003 (Above) Work from undergraduate studies, Central Saint Martin's College of Art & Design (University of the Arts, London). Magis is a public furniture system that allows travellers to have their own workspace at the airport. Recharging docks, wireless internet connectivity, overhead lamps, privacy screens and baggage locks are some of the features incorporated in Magis. The design won the Innovation Prize for the President furniture design competition. It was featured in FX magazine (March 2003).
