Innovate Product Design
Developed client’s original ideas and concepts through to fully working prototypes. This process entailed; establishing a design specification from client meetings, research into appropriate technology, proposing technical solutions, team brainstorms to identify alternative solutions, concept sketching and product development using Solidworks. To finalise each project I would create a written report and portfolio using Photoshop and InDesign, and then lead a handover meeting with the clients. Test rigs and prototypes were created to define product deficiencies so that further refinement of mechanisms could be considered. Projects include consumer electronics, medical devices, home appliances and fitness products.
• Managing the in-house rapid prototype capabilities and organising it’s schedule.
• Market and competitor research into products and emerging technologies.
• Liaising with RP companies and sourcing different materials for prototypes.

Dyson Ltd.
My time with Dyson as a Product Design Engineer was invaluable in gaining a holistic view of the entire design process and manufacture, from initial concept generation to fully working prototypes and final engineering drawings. I worked closely with different R&D engineering teams to produce a broad range of world leading products utilising Dyson’s state of the art software, in-house rapid prototyping equipment and test facilities. Dyson’s hands-on approach to creating prototypes and test rigs gave me a great opportunity to switch daily from CAD models to the workshop, testing small refinements before updating the CAD model.
Two products that I was extensively involved in during my time at Dyson are currently on the market, they are the DC24 upright vacuum cleaner and a combi floor care tool, which is used across the current generation of handheld, upright and cylinder vacuum cleaners. I had ownership of several assemblies and experienced this entire end-to-end product design process whilst developing the combination tool, initially identifying the problem and then developing this concept through to final engineering drawings. To finish, an extensive transfer of knowledge report was written and sent along with the 2D drawings to the manufacturers in Malaysia. This explicit communication was important to ensure smooth and accurate handover was achieved.
• Released products I worked on include the DC24 and the current generation of floorcare combi tools.
• 2D technical drawing / drafting & tolerance stacks. (01 and TS drawings have been issued)
• Market research into existing Japanese products and identifying competitor technologies.
• Detailed design development of the handle assembly, including FEA and tolerance analysis.
• Material selection of both assemblies, the handle with three parts and the combi tool with two parts.
• Knowledge of design for assembly, volume manufacture, injection moulding and tooling limitations.My time with Dyson as a Product Design Engineer was invaluable in gaining a holistic view of the entire design process and manufacture, from initial concept generation to fully working prototypes and final engineering drawings.

BSc (Hons), Product Design
Activities and societies: President of the Bournemouth University Table Tennis team.Activities and societies: President of the Bournemouth University Table Tennis team.
This holistic course taught me to design and develop well-considered and potentially commercial products, particularly focusing on the technological aspect of design. Our final year product had to be aesthetic and a fully functional working prototype combined.
My final project ‘Aqualife’ provides third world countries and disaster stricken areas with an innovative way of obtaining clean, safe drinking water. The key features of the product are, ease of use, very cheap to maintain, serviceable with only a knife and perishable parts, which could be replaced with local materials.
- Submitted a patent application for ‘Aqualife’ no: GB0811460.5.
Modules covered;
Applied Mechanics, Advanced Technology and Electronics, Material Science & Manufacturing, Computer Aided Design & Rapid Prototyping, Business Commercialisation, Prototype Model Making & Workshop Skills, Product Development Projects and User Centered Design.
