8. This was the green go kart project which I was in-
volved in with 2 high school freinds. I wanted to take
an existing, already made, but poorly created go kart
and make it fully functional. Someone had created a
go kart with good ideas but there was room for im-
provement. At first the go kart was pretty much a
frame on wheels and it did not give much function-
ality. It did have a steering system but upon testing
they proved to be faulty. There was no seat, no bat-
teries, or engine to move it, nor the brakes to stop it.
So I thought this would be the perfect challenge for
me to be able to push myself and really make this an
extended project. The original concept for the car to
be in motion was if it was “green” and by that I mean
it had to be ecologically friendly, so instead of burn-
ing fuel, I would use batteries and an electric motor to
cause motion. And to go even further, interior com-
fort could potentially be made of recycled fabrics.
What did creating this product mean to me? I’ve al-
ways loved creating things and this project really
challenged me because I never created something
with this much complexion and I have never created
a project of this bulk within a team.
The creation of this project expanded my knowledge
of materials and manufacturing processes in which
research was needed to understand how certain as-
pects of the vehicle could be enhanced. I went on to
research how certain metals would behave under
stress, heat, and got a lot of experience in welding,
as I did not do it very often. The complexion of this
product really engaged my mind into understanding
the importance of practical and theoretical skills.
Within this I greatly improved my time management
skills and providing suitable solutions for different
problems faced.
I also came to realise that during the manufacture of
this product, how important the attention to detail
is. If a small little thing is off, it could potentially be-
come a drastic problem.

9. During my high school years, while I was creating my
lounger project, one of the teachers asked if i could
put together a house to stand in the background for
the 3rd year children’s play. Iputthishousetogetherin
about2hoursandtheychildrendecorateditfromthereon.
Background house prop
Lounge chair
This was my first ever furniture design project. An
outdoor sun lounger that doubled as a bench for
multiple people to sit on. I created this project on
my own in my final year of high school. The objective
was to create something that would provide an area
for students to socialise during their lunch periods.
The lounger would sit in a woodland area on school
campus for people to enjoy the scenery in peace, or
with multpile friends as a bench. This project was
the last thing I made at that high school. It may still
be there to this day.

10. This was a necktie box that I made during my penultimate year of high school. It was designed as a luxury
box to hold 6 neckties. I have kept this box ever since I first made it and currently holds a lot more than 6
neckties that I have obtained throughout the years.
Chess club trophy
Tie box
During my high school years at the BSB, one assign-
ment was to create any type of trophy. I decided to
look around school for competitive sports that need-
ed trophies to be won.
I found a lunch time chess club run by one of the
mathematics teachers and asked if I could make a
trophy for their upcoming team tournament. The
teacher was delighted when I presented this as my
assignment/trophy give away.

This was one of the first things I designed during my early years of university. The assignment was to create
an infograph about anything. The rest speaks for itself.

12. The Climbmate pram project
This is a 3 wheel design for the "Climbmate" concept
whichdesignedbymyselfand3others.Wedeveloped
a functioning prototype of a 3 wheel system designed
to be attached to a modern day baby pram in order
to help with moving up and down stairs without the
need of assistance.
We had to prove that our 3 wheel system could work
with an integrated motor to help the wheels traverse
up steps. Therefore I decided to make a fully fuctional
motor out of scraps to be fitted inside a wheel. I cre-
ated a stand for the wheel to sit on and showed that
when a battery is attached, the wheel would spin.

13. This was a concept project I created during my second year of university. It was a project I created on my own
to help people with poor grip strength. The idea was to use a “Raspberry Pi” to control motors and sensors
attached to a glove so that when someone tries to grab an object, the motors on the glove would increase the
grip strength.
These are some images of a desk lamp created in SolidWorks. The 3 images represent cross sections and interior
modules of the lamp. This was one of the many SolidWorks assignments I had to create during my studies.

14. For this assignment I had to design and create a
suitcase with a plastic top, wooden base, and metal
handle. This assignment was to test our prototyping
capabilities at the university. Finger joints were
used to attach the 4 sides of the base together with
some PVA glue and a plywood base nailed to the
bottom to create a box. The plastic top was made
using a wooden mould to vaccum form the square
shape. For the handle I took a stainless steel rod and
created a knurled cross secional pattern on a lathe
for increased grip. Then I bent the handle down and
outwards to be attached to other metallic pieces to
create the handle of the suitcase.

15. During my 3rd year of university I had to take 2
minors in tandem with my major. One of these
was a collaboration with “VvAA” A dutch insur-
ance company. The project was to create a system
that would improve driving behaviour. They had
technology that was able send driving behavioural
information to an external source. We (myself and 2
other students) created a point system that used this
technology which would reward users for good driv-
ing. Good driving behavour resulted in coupons or
discounts relative to how good you drove (the better
you drove, the better the discounts).

Indoor aeroonic plant farming
The second minor I took in tandem with my major was called “Product Realisation”. In this project I worked
with 3 others to create 3 concepts for an aeroponic design for urban indoor plant farming. this included a
large amount of electronics on my behalf. In the end the final concept incorporated an injenction moulded
modular design which used a “Raspberry Pi” to monitor water levels, temperature, and the ability to water
plant roots.

Design strategy and methods
Wooden watch
During one of the minors, I created a visual process tree for a design strategy that I’ve been using since my
high school days. I used it to help explain how I usually get from an assignment to a final product.
One year at University we got given a prototyping assignment to create a wooden watch. I decided to cre-
ate the face out of mahogany for an elegant look to fit with the black clockwork of an existing watch. I used
plywood for the links and a metal clip to join them. I also fitted the final product with a glass face to protect
the clockwork.

18. How can we make greenhouses increase
plant yield and use fewer resources doing so?
The needs:
1. GREENHOUSES DO NOT HAVE A GREEN
SOURCE OF ENERGY TO HEAT CROPS
Biological activity slows as
temperatures decrease. The cellular
functions required for photosyn-
thesis slow down as the air cools,
thereby slowing growth. Addition-
ally, cold air typically contains less
moisture, which can result in water
loss from leaf surfaces and also can
cause portions of water inside of the
plant to freeze.
3. Greenhouse users want a way to
re-use and recycle rainwater
Research shows that although some
farmers can catch rainwater, they
may not necessarily use it because of
space, or it’s simply not worth it. In
20 years, it might be worth it.
4. Greenhouse users want
eco-friendly solutions
Eco-friendliness is currently a large
driver for the consumer market.
Outsourcing as an “Eco-friendly”
company will ease the competition.
2. Greenhouse farmers would love
an automated harvesting system
Automated harvesting has been seen on
almost all outdoorfields, but is rarelyap-
proved to be used inside a greenhouse.
During one of my university years I had to conduct a research project related to energy usage when green-
house farming. This was the design brief I created for a future group to design a solution.

19. The gondola project
My final project at university has been my biggest
project. I was to work alone for the company United
Balloon, to improve an “alpha-stage” concept for
a tourist attraction to be set up in 25 major cities
around the world, starting in Dubai. Aspects of this
project included; User interaction design, Struc-
tural Engineering, Project planning, Ergonomics,
Aethetics and Safety. The tourist attraction was
called a gondola for the sake of this project as it was
the most appropriate term. The gondola has been
designed as part of the “Diamond of Dubai” experi-
ence, which is a thrilling panoramic skyline viewing
experience. This design for the gondola is to be
finalized by the United Balloon Company.

Dog name tag
Candle stand
My older brother decided he was going to raise a puppy. He was determined to buy a male German Shep-
herd and call him Klaus. Therefore I decided to model and 3d print a dog tag as a gift. The tag was printed
with a blend of plastic and aluminium to make it lightweight and give it a bit of sparkle. I thought it would
be fitting to have the tag look like a tankard, used for drinking beer.
My stepmother started a candle making business
and found a large market for her products. She
asked me to create a stand for her to place her
200+ home made candles. This is a flatpack de-
sign intended to be easily taken apart and put back
together so she can use it at home and at markets.
This is a project I am currently working on and I
have only finished the design stage. I have yet to
build the product.
