I believe design is more than just creating another object. It is a journey that requires different abilities along the way. Curiosity to understand how and why things are the way they are, empathy to discover needs that have not been met, creativity to explore new concepts, discipline to drive oneself and most importantly continuous commitment to deliver a unique

product.

SEMM, a third year progect was completed after the second term in 2014.

The main inspiration behind semm was Italian design and African design merging together to create a singular product.

The merge is represented as a metaphor and can be viewed in the material usage of glass and cermaics. Alessi’s products are what one often refers to as functional art which contributed towards Semm’s aesthetically pleasing appearance and functional aspect. Inspired by traditional rock art the background of the design is staying true to its traditional roots however keeping a traditional aspect.

Flama was a 3rd year final project. Students were instructed to preselect a design style and further incorporate it with the working basics of a conventional gas heater.

The Atomic age also referred to as the race for space era inspired the design and development of Flama. The name, textures and materials were influenced by space.

Flama is a mobile catalytic gas heater which holds a 9KG gas cylinder. Flama is ideal for small spaces in a clean, modern interior space. Simple cold joining techniques such as brazing and pop rivets spoke to the design language as many countries had to scale down after World War. Hammered sheet metal gave a sense of the moon’s landscape and other objects within space. Flama’s materials were carefully selected; the materials add a sense of value to the product, the shiny chrome and the bronze hammered sheet metal. Countries were finically damaged after the World War and people relied on materials to add a sense of value to restore humanity and life.

A swimmers kick is typically the most undertrained, under-appreciated and undeveloped swim skill. Therefore the SHINFIN was designed and developed. The SHINFIN is a pair of training fins for elite to beginner swimmers who aim to strengthen their freestyle kick and increase their speed over time. The fin is designed to increase ankle flexibility by creating extra load from the increased surface area of the blade and the valves. These features with assistance from the fin gently force the ankle to plantar flex. The SHINFIN is manufactured out of flexible materials allowing a swimmer to plantar flex and invert their feet whilst the fin is being worn. The lightweight materials make the pair of fins travel friendly

.

Having great plantar flexibility of the ankle is a prerequisite for developing a stronger, faster flutter kick. Once a swimmer has successfully strengthened their kick, their speed will naturally improve.
