A side project/hobby for me which has turned into a small side business. I have been designing and making automotive parts, mainly for the Classic Mini from my home office. 3D printed on my modified FDM printer, mainly from ASA and ABS plastics, but also using other materials such as nitrile cork and felt where suitable.
All parts are designed, printed and post processed on my modified FDM 3D printer in my home office. There has been a bit of learning and development taking the designs from CAD to making it repeatable product with a high level of finish which you would not normally associate with 3D printed components.

During my time at Surtees Boats I worked in several different aspects of the business. The majority of this work was as a designer/CAD drafting. Some of this work included; designing accessories, digitising parts for CNC manufacture and working on developing new models.
The images here show the types of boats and platforms I was involved with, however are not an exact reflection of the specific boat models and projects at the time of employment.

Rethinking Refrigerated Containment:
a new vision of refrigerated exports

2015
My Master's thesis "Rethinking Refrigerated Containment: a new vision of refrigerated exports", took a holistic, practice-lead-design exploration of transportation systems, supply chain and logistical infrastructure involved with the export of New Zealand primary meat exports. This project explored and questioned the status-quo of New Zealand's meat exports and infrastructure. In response I offer a visionary non-traditional concept which I hope questions a traditional industry.
This thesis documented my research journey and findings along with ideation and my creative problem solving approach to this project. With the help of a good friend, Lauren Wepa, we complied a encompassing document which followed the same design language as the physical counterpart.
"To establish the layout and overall visual tone of the book, we based it on two key principals, asymmetry and balance. This again was reflected in the design component of the project and was aimed to be visionary and non-traditional approach to the project. No page is symmetrical in layout and achieves balance through asymmetry, accompanied by opposing type orientation influenced by container typography. This document aims to take you on a journey, from research to design proposition, highlighted through the carefully crafted blue tonal palette; starting with a deep blue and finishing with a bright blue."

The brief for this project was simple. Design a seating unit that can be easily transported.
Having an existing background in traditional wood working, I wanted to challenge traditional carpentry practice in furniture design. I began exploring strategic deconstruction of the timber legs. This allowed the material to be manipulated far more than conventional methods. As a designer this was very intriguing when applied to flat pack furniture.
The final solution can be flat packed for transportation. To assemble the unit, the legs are flexed and slotted into the seat. The precision cut timber legs retain pressure when flexed and are firmly held in place, eliminating the need for fastenings. The project was constructed entirely from recycled New Zealand native timber.
The design was also selected and exhibited at the IMM Design Fair in Cologne, Germany.

Designed and built as a tribute to Leonardo Pulcini’s championship-winning seasons in EuroFormula and the Spanish F3 series, this custom build from Bolt Moto/Campos Racing was built on a Honda CB750.
I worked with Bolt in 2017 to produce a concept design which could be used as the basis of the build.

Stemming from humble beginnings in the ‘3rd’ shed in my parent’s back garden, Third Shed has been years in the making. A culmination of traditional craft, honest design and the highest quality natural materials.
All completely designed and hand made by myself - each hole precisely punched and stitched by hand. I am still in the process of understanding the brand, developing a range of products and finalising build processes before releasing limited run products in the future. So far I have focused on bags and cases, all completely hand stitched from the highest quality natural materials; Italian leather, organic cotton linen and hemp.
Designed to be timeless, made to last a lifetime.

A collaborative project with Sam McCafferty and myself for the Oakley Disruptive by Design competition.
"As Industrial Designers and skiers we appreciate freedom of expression within design and on the mountain. Growing tired of our inability to truly find the perfect ski, hindering our mountain experience, we set out to solve the problem.
We wanted to challenge the current trend based market, opposing superficial or minor changes in profile and graphic year to year. We aim to create an honest product which fully exposes its design and construction releasing the rider from the prerequisites of trend and fashion.
This project utilizes parametric CAD technology to create a system which allows the customer to modify their ski design to cater to their riding style and terrain. By first selecting 1 of 3 preset profile styles, riders can use intuitive sliders to modify parameters such as length, side cut, binding position and flex pattern. This system is would be accessed through Oakley's international website.
Once selections have been finalized by the customer, data is sent from the CAD system to the CNC manufacturing facility where the core is shaped and external materials are assembled including carbon fibre, nylon top sheet, base materials and titanium.
The materials and manufacturing methods used creates a unique aesthetic inspired by the raw component properties and natural formations. The cell like structure reveals the true personality of the ski, unique to each rider, not unlike the fingerprint.
The resulting product offers a tailored experience unparalleled by any other ski available."

During 2017/2018 I completed a series of concept styling sketches for custom bike builders and race team Bolt Moto/Campos Racing in Spain.
This particular build was a highly modified BMW K100.
A work-in-progress personal project.
In my spare time I have been working on designing a modern speed boat inspired by the 1950's/60's flat bottom wooden speed boats. A long term project, which one day I hope to build.
2013 University Project
This project focused on designing and developing a more sustainable and user customisable, modular headphone. The main bodies encase 35mm drivers and the necessary wiring which can be separated from the headband by unscrewing the stainless steel mounting screws. Multiple headband options would be available and can be customised by the user. The headband is constructed from hardwood veneer and laminated using vacuum lamination with organic plant resin. The plastic body is injection moulded recycled plastic. If any of the components fail they can be easily replaced and are fully bio-degradable.

This brief was to design an exhibition stall for the IMM Cologne Design Fair in 2014. The exhibit booth is 12m2 in size and suited to young Industrial Designers.
The criteria was to be: low cost, utilize the small space well, suitable design language to compliment my work, be simple, effective and have a natural feel.
The concept I have developed utilizes 3D printed concrete panels as the main feature of the exhibit. The shape was inspired by sea shells and has created a natural, tactile feeling surface.
The project was detailed to the method of construction, assembly and cost of the exhibit. CAD work was drawn in Rhino 3D and rendered in Keyshot 4.

I acquired this Healing 10 speed bicycle from a friend who used it to travel around Wellington in the early 80's. It's condition was less than ideal, coated in rust, broken spokes, pitted chrome and blistered paint.
For this project I wanted to bring the bike back to life with some modern touches. Where possible original parts were rebuilt and kept, however some components such as the shifter cables, rims and saddle needed to be replaced. I also built a set of curved wooden handle bars from Fijian Teak and Mahogany. These were pressed and laminated, then carefully hand shaped into an even circular shape. Stainless steel rings were then rebated on to the ends for added protection to the wood.
The rest of the components were carefully stripped down to every nut and washer, chemically cleaned, polished and reassembled with fresh grease. The frame was hand sanded and polished to reveal the un-rusted steel hidden underneath and resprayed with Acrylic Lacquer.
