I specialise in Big Ideas for structural, graphic and brand design .I
am currently working freelance and have worked for JCB, Thorntons chocolates,
Masterplugs and Moon Penneys cafe's .I am looking to work within a company
that enable me to bounce ideas off of other creative minds, to learn new
skill and to develope existing ones .
Projects
Self Control is a two handed aerosol spray paint that hampers its own
use for the purpose of street graffiti .The spay strength is controlled
by twisting the top and bottom of the can in opposite directions .Holding
a can with both hands makes graffiti spraying unbearably slow, inaccessible
places even more inaccessible and prevents traditional styled solvent
abuse .
E-sound is
a brand created for an e-tailor of CD, DVD, and CD ROM's .The CD case
is made from sustainable corrugated board and is designed for delivery,
functionality and stack ability.
twist 'n'
tear was created as an example of inclusive not exclusive design .The
pack dispenses plasters from a reel in a user friendly way enabling the
elderly to comfortably apply a plaster .
S7's shoe
box designed as packaging for climbing shoes .This product merges the
boundaries between package and product .The bag unzips and reverses to
form a satchel to hold a bouldering kit for the growing market of climbers
who are short of time.
KIDS CAN
is a child friendly can that enables kids to feed their dogs and strengthen
the child pet relationship .The reusable/recyclable steel pack holds both
wet and dry foods for a single serving .The pack is so easy to open that
the dog can do so itself .
