DESIGN EXPERIENCE AND PROJECTS

2010 Centuria Seating Sculpture Competition: WINNER A competition set by Teesside University to design new and interesting seating for the then new Centuria Building on the Teesside Campus. The design has an organic shape and multiple levels to create a visually striking piece of sculpture. The feature was made in white granite that should provide it with suitable weather resilience. Professional Skills and Strategic Product Development Team Project Seeing: Heavily user based team project using the IDEO design approach. Developed a tool to assist in the process of hanging a door. The solution was a strong and durable stainless steel tool that would survive daily use on a building site or in a day to day DIY environment. It had features to aid the user in everything from the initial marking out process, through to making sure the door fits within its frame comfortably.
