Woodburning stove designs - Two of my recent designs which I have been responsible.
Street sweeping vehicle - During an eight month contract concepts were produced and developed into a fully functional vehicle prototype. Responsibilities were development of the visual aspects, hopper design, fan installation, cleaning equipment, soundproofing, pick-up system. A great project!
Yacht fitting - A roller reefing control fitting is shown. For six years I have developed new designs and re-designed existing products for a leading marine company. In that time numerous designs have been produced for boats ranging in size from dinghy's to superyachts.
Respirator system - The design was developed to allow th use of various filter attachments with a built in fan and snap in battery packs. The unit is waterproofed to allow the operator to shower before removing the respirator. This is now in production.
Woodburning stove designs - Two of my recent designs which I have been responsible.
Shell Alarm control box - Domestic alarm control with flip out door to cover instruction sheet
Emergency telephone for the elderly - This was a re-design of an existing system. The resulting design had to look similar to the existing phone, but be cheaper to produce. The client said that they thought it had saved them nearly a thousand pounds a day in production costs! Plastic parts prices dropped from £23 to £3.75 per unit.
Keyboard system for a brailler typewriter - A typewriter for the blind designed and developed in conjunction with the RNIB. This was produced while working at Pankhurst Design and Development and was developed in collaboration with three other designers. I was responsible for the development of the keyboard and tactile feedback of the machine.
