I have a bachelor of Product and Industrial design from the Otago institute of design, and enjoy creating and designing new things. I currently work as a product designer for Escea gas fires, based in Dunedin, New Zealand. All projects in this portfolio were completed during my study.

Hawk
Powered by a Honda RC51 V-twin 999cc engine, with a redline of 10,000rpm, 120RWhp and a theoretical top speed of 233 kilometers per hour. Wearing three 19inch lightweight alloy wheels equiped with twin rear and front disc brakes, you wont have any problems stopping in a hurry. Fiberglass outer shell and alloy chassis give you the aerodynamics needed to acheive the level of performance you expect from a roadbike, with the comfort of a car. The interior is a combination of moulded plastic and leather trim, with digital dials giving you the vital information about your vehicle.
Little Link
The Little Link is a communication device for 5 - 10 year olds, and is intended to stop children this age using the cellphone by replacing it with a safer alternative. The Little Link sends and receives 60 second voice messages, and is only contactable by preset numbers to prevent unwanted contact or 'text bullying'.
Escea Gas Fires
An assortment of projects completed for Escea Gas Fires.
F1.2010
Futuristic Formula 1 body styling.
ShortBoard
Designed with the commuter in mind, this 'skateboard' is as small as possible to make carrying on public transport or storing inside your car easy. The ShortBoard is designed to be used as 'Secondary Transportation', to get the commuter from their carpark to their workplace or school, as often carparks are a large distance away from your destination in densely populated areas.
Allure
My study of product and industrial design did not offer any automotive design papers, so I decided to try and teach myself. The Allure was my first attempt at a car design. The cars main feature are the doors, which open in a unique 'slicing' motion (aptly named 'Guillotine' doors) to prevent opening the doors into other objects or cars.
