GRAPHIC DESIGN / ILLUSTRATION
FLYTHON the flying python is a graphic designed for Rotor ZOO Drone Workshop.
It is loosely based on the Australian Diamond Python. This design has been primarily made for stickers. See the design process I took to get it to the point you see here.
Finalised sticker design that was sent to the printers.
Vectorising the design from Photoshop into Illustrator. This meant getting rid of gradients and consolidating colours for printing.
Playing around with colours and tones confirming my choice of green.
Making the H-Quad. From rough sketch to perspective w/ high speed blurring.
Adding detail to the form using a pen, scanning at each step.
Rough initial sketches to figure it all out. I used snake images online as a guide to the way they hang themselves.
The BoomGlasses are created from nylon powder in one interlocking Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) print. This negates the need for any fasteners as they are produced assembled.
Through testing a specialised edging technique the clearance between parts has been minimised from the recommended 0.6 to 0.25mm without any fusing occurring. This allows for a tighter relationship using snap-fits between the front frame and each arm.

Commissioned by the Australian Paralympic Committee, the brief requested an aesthetically pleasing table centrepiece that would provide ambient light.
The piece had to convey the importance and prestige of the events that took place in London earlier that year. There was an allocated budget for a low production run of 100 centrepieces.
This project required appropriate material selection and manufacturing considerations to adhere to the budget. This design combines perforation details (influenced by the Paralympic torch) and Braille on each of its facades depicting the year, the place and grandeur of the Games. The Australian Paralympic Committee brand is represented by the UV printed logo.

his chair is based on wordplay and is an example of a light-hearted and engaging piece of furniture.
The contrast between the materials of polypropylene and Australian Jarrah allows a unique warmth and gives rise to an organism propping itself up.
Designed with interchangability in mind its legs can be screwed out and different coloured or material legs may be inserted. Taller legs may be inserted to produce an arm-stools.
Semantics are fun.
In the foyer of the Ian Potter Foundation Technology Learning Centre building in Canberra sits the Innovation Cycle Machine. The most prominent exhibit of the Inventiveness Gallery.
The core concept behind this machine is that anyone can be an inventor and that the design process can be non-linear, it can approached in any manner.
Idea, Need, Try, Evaluate and Make are the shown steps of the design process and they need not follow this sequence when designing.

The Controller lectern is the result of a collaboration with Wilson & Gilkes, a long established Australian company founded in 1934 with its focus on audiovisual equipment.
My aims were to redesign a crude Australian product to comply with eco-effective principles. Meet the needs of the existing product. Be capable of being fully disassembled by the user easily. Be fully recyclable. Be sustainable in according to the triple bottom line (environmental, social, economically).
The Socket Seat is a playful ‘active sitting’ solution that provides all the positive traits of sitting on an exercise ball whilst dealing with their negative traits. The secure footing negates the risks associated with a runaway ball and the familiar form factor means that the seat can be used at a desk easily.
The ball + socket joint affords the accustomed degrees of movement in any direction by the user and allows them a varied range of centred and symmetrical sitting postures. These movements are often performed unknowingly and can be bouncing due to hearing good music or leaning due to cornering in a racing videogame.
The Socket Seat promotes good postural health while permitting a new personal freedom.
The seat is woven from an ‘upcycled’ glass-fibre reinforced nylon strap material. Recycling this throw-away item makes sitting on the Socket Seat a comfortable and durable experience.
As the Breville design team reworked their existing Wizz Stick Pro, a multi-attachment hand blender for the home user, they put forward a brief for us to do the same.
After considering factors such as brand image, usability, safety, end-of-life and ergonomics the final product and its packaging were presented back to the Breville design team in Sydney for critique and feedback.
