IMMERSE // VRA research based concept into the next generation of VR/AR headsets.
CAD Assembly Surface Preparation
Lense Mold
Final Model
3D Printing Lense Fitting
This project required category specifi c research and conceptual development of a modern VR headset. The fi nal design is intended to shift consumer attitudes within the category to and create an everyday companion item rather than a lounge room gadget. A range of skills were utilised during the development including a comprehensive use of 3D printing, model making, vacuum forming, CAD surfacing and communicative rendering. Each direction shift and design alteration was justifi ed by user feedback and documented alongside forecasted consumer trends.

User Testing
The Egg superglue container diff ers from all existing superglue products by the use of clever design and innovation with a motivated focus on user experience. The outside casing contains a weighted base to let the form self-right and therefore allowing the fl uid to resettle into the reservoir rather than pool and clog in the nozzle. Development of the Egg incorporated an array of user centred research methods to uncover typical use of an everyday item. Careful testing and evaluation with subtle iterative progression allowed the design to develop largely from intuitive use rather than designer input. The fi nal design expects common user experience before contact has been made, and solves an old issue with simple physics rather than complicated mechanics or chemical gimmicks.
Analysis into brand specifi c design language, developed to a manufacture ready product.
Ideation Foam Model Model Development
Component Engineering
Interface Design Final Model
The Breville Roto home drill complements the well established Breville design language while adding a practical product to their line of home electronics. The project required a focus on component engineering with all internal items to be re-used from an existing product. The fi nal design incorporates a user intuitive forward/backward button to replace the traditional single trigger and left/right direction switch. This approach gave the user an unambiguous interface while respecting the Breville design language and aesthetic. While most drills aim to attract tradesman consumers, this product was targeted to home owners where visual styling is an important element for any product kept outside the cupboard.

Metal Mockup
Metal Mockup
Scale Mockup
The Fold stool utilised knowledge of sheetmetal materials and processes gained from prior experience. This skillset was used to develop a functional stool from 1.2mm zincseal material. The design included a single component assembled into a small array to form a three leg stool. Bend lines on each component have been lasercut with dashed linework intended for hand folding. Each component can then be welded, powdercoated and assembled using standard M6 fi xings.
A problem solving challenge to create a user intuitive keyless entry device .
Ideation CAD Drafting
Model Iteration
Finish Variations
The Keyless entry device project focused on user experience and simplicity of use. A detailed attention to user pain-points on existing devices drove a design to eliminate the chance of unintentionally unlocking your car. The concept re-imagined a mechanically symmetric form where the user could hold the device in any orientation without changing the operation. This feature meant the key could be used in a dark carpark or inside a handbag without looking or cautiously feeling for the correct button. The development process included creation of brand personas to assist in function design as well as styling.

Internal Layout
The Therm fl ask required an in-depth knowledge of metal spinning practices and limitations in order to create a product suitable for manufacture within the industry. The project included an Australian metal spinning component producer looking to enter the consumer market, eliminating their reliance on product manufacturers to fulfi l volume orders. The company was interested in design of an everyday item that could be easily fabricated and assembled within their facility in Western Sydney. Development included liaising with tradesmen and a careful understanding of machinery limitations.
An uncomplicated, self managed, short term goal timer for offi ce workers.
Ideation Pre-Model CAD Assembly
Model Assembly
Final Model
Component Testing
The Timr off ers the user a self managed timing tool to help set small goals within an offi ce environment. The touch sensitive pad on the top intuitively allows the user to scroll a maximum of 60 minutes into the light array and start a timing countdown. The user can also update the time by increasing or decreasing the light wheel at any stage. A detailed knowledge of Arduino programming and hardware selection was required for this project. The fi nal result encompassed product engineering, basic electrical understanding, 3D printing, model making, coding and interaction design.
