Numen
Designed with sentiment to become uniquely your own, the Numen Light is designed to combat overconsumption and help people build real connections with their objects.

The Numen Light is controlled by simple gestures anywhere on the metal surface of the light, allowing the user to create their own method of interaction. But a bond can’t be built from only one side. In response to this individual interaction, the lights surface slowly wears away, revealing the bronze underlayer from beneath the silver surface. This call and response of intentional degradation builds over time, signifying your interaction with the lamp, and transforming it into a unique object representing you alone.



Orca
This project was done while working at WOWHAUS design. We were contacted to create a large scale instillation in the cafeteria of Central Kitsap Middle School, using the surrounding community as inspiration. 

This area is a historic seafaring community with a rich history of fishing and traditional boatbuilding. Orca can often be seen patrolling the shores of this area. Surrounded by lakes and just a short drive from the ocean, we used these themes as inspiration for the project. The form of the wooden orca is fabricated in the fashion traditional wooden boats have been made for hundreds of years. The main spine and fins were carved by the head designer, Scott Constable. On top of this, steam heated cedar was bent into shape using various jigs, and riveted into place. The whole piece was then shipped to washington and installed, swimming through the air of this local school. 



Calendar 2024
This calender was completed while working with Theodóra Alfreðsdóttir. This project interrogated the lifespan of a calendar, something with a timeline literally attached to it, into a piece of functional art that could stay in use your entire life.

  As you turn each page of this calender, they stack up, revealing layers of colors and shape. This piece could then be hung as designed, or rearraged and restacked in any order the user desires, giving them a completely unique piece of art. 

The start of this project was experimentation, experimentation, experimentation. I rigorously tested and tweaked concepts in Illustrator, striking a balance between form and function. We then finalised a design and went back and forth between the computer and a Cricut machine fixing problems until we reached the final product you see here.

The final outcome was produced in sturdy paper and thin plywood, in both painted and white editions. 




SEIZE Issue 2
SEIZE is an independent magazine documenting the state of the London creative scene through the eyes of young people aged 20 to 30. Founded by two former csm students, Lucy and Natalie, it began as a way to proactively create opportunities for themselves and their peers. Their mission is to provide a space for young creatives to speak honestly about their lives and work, while bringing fresh perspectives to a wider audience.

I was approached to design the cover of their second issue, “Sell Out”. This issue aims to critically investigate what it means to "sell out" as a young person, through features from 16 London creatives making it work as freelancers, office workers, influencers, and everything else under the sun.

After conversation with the founders we settled on a garden scene with a sinking computer in the middle of a small pond. This contrast representing the balance between our own personal goals and needs of our proffesional careers. I would go on to create visuals for their social media and launch event. 




Bronze Fruit Bowl
This project was created for a design collaboration called “The Farm Shop” while working with Theodóra Alfreðsdóttir. We were tasked with creating a piece for a dinner party, in which every item used was created by different designers and available for purchase.

The form of the bowl was molded from clay sheets draped over a series of half-spheres. This allowed the weight of the clay and gravity to form natural highs and lows to nestle fruit into.

With bronze as our material, we wanted to move away from the pristine and polished look of most bronze products. We decided to only slightly finish the bronze after casting, embodying the raw atmosphere of the theme. 

Throughout this project I was heavily involved in the entire ideation and experimentation process. I then assisted in the creation of the final molds to be sent off and cast in bronze. 





The Willow Collection
This project was done in conjuction with MONC and utilisd their Bio-acetate material. We harnesses the natural malleability of acetate to create a new method of eyewear manufacturing focused on waste reduction.

The current industry standard for eyewear manufacturing is incredibly inefficient. It involves cutting out the thin form of the frames from a large slab of acetate and disposing of the excess without use. This leads to as much as 80% waste material that has to be made, shipped, collected, and disposed of. This is incredibly harmful for the environment, and raises costs for consumers. This project creates a new method of eyewear manufacturing, utilising the natural traits of acetate instead of ignoring them. The material is heated and bent into the shape, creating a final product with less than 5% waste material.



Annum
In 2037, incredible population growth in Sub-Saharan Africa has driven the demand for the main agricultural product, cereal grains, higher and higher. Simultaneously, climate change continues to reduce crop yield, forcing the smallholder farms that make up the economy to find new ways to make up for the loss.

The traditional storage and transportation methods used by smallholder grain farms in Sub-Saharan Africa can cause up to 50 percent loss of usable product. With very limited f inancial support, these farms need to increase the quality and lifespan of their grain to match the growing demand and successfully combat food insecurity in Sub-Saharan Africa.  

Annum is a Long term grain storage system that allows smallholder grain farmers to properly store their crops. This will drastically reduce grain loss due to mold, bacteria, and pests, and help combat the food insecurity that stems from it.



Orbit
Orbit is a piece of functional art, designed to enable neurodivergent people to effectively work from home in the modern professional environment.

Orbit is a mechanical timer that allows the user to visualize, connect with, and utilize time. It uses the Pomodoro method to help users enter and maintain a working state of mind, while ensuring a healthy balance of work and breaks. Orbit utilizes physical levers and gears that allow the user to interact with the object in a non digital way. This sensory feedback is extremely important for neurodivergent individuals. It acts as an extra cue for their brain that strengthens the work routines built around this object. The actions involved with starting the timer act as a physical switch for the user, making them enter a working state of mind.



Geometric Reliefs
This project was completed while working with Theodóra Alfreðsdóttir. These geometric forms are a motif of Theodóra’s work. The subtle extrusions and depressions add a sculptural feel to these wall pieces, creating everchanging shadows in an otherwise very simple piece. 

I was heavily involved in the design process and took over most of the manufacturing process. I modeled the forms in Rhino, which were 3D printed and finsished to a quality that allowed them to be cast in silicone. With the molds completed, I cast the final forms from tinted jesmonite. This provided a stone like final finish with shades of color similar to a limewash adding to the depth of the final piece. 

These are available for purchase on Theodóra Alfreðsdóttir‘s website. 





Dervish
Dervish is a modular kinetic sculpture that generates electricity by harvesting wind energy. Functioning as a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT), the sculpture consists of a series of stacking turbines, each containing its own dedicated magnetic alternator and internal gearing to translate wind-generated spinning motion into electrical current to be stored in a bank of batteries within the base or used directly to power lighting on site or connected to a localized grid.

Consisting of a double course of concave, semi-helical blades arranged at alternating, complementary angles, as the turbines rotate, the blades and their shadows create complex optical patterns and illusions, at times appearing to be spinning in reverse. The double course of blades optimize windflow by capturing prevailing outflow.



Photography While I have never done any professional photography work, it is a creative outlet I have delved into for many years. I love landscape photography and trying to find the beauty in the mundane. I primarily shoot film photography as i feel it helps me to slow down and be intentional about my composition. As freeing as snapping away digitally can be, the limited number of shots (and each shots price tag!) forces each press of the shutter to be a methodical process.
