Personal Profile:

I am a driven, easily motivated Product Design graduate with a thirst for success. This thirst has pushed me to pursue entrepreneurial projects and practical work experience over the past three years during my time at York St John University.

My spare time is occupied by a number of hobbies which include Rugby League and Pro Wrestling, two of my biggest loves.

My experience at York St John University and those had whilst taking part in my hobbies, have moulded me into the hard working, loyal and committed team player I am today, and I am truly excited about the next step on my career path.

Project Description:

In first year at York St John we were challenged to design a product that could be manufactured out of one 800 X 600 mm sheet of laser-ply. My take on the analog radio was one of my favourite projects at York St John.

I concentrated heavilly on the controls mapping with a view to creating a pleasent user experience.

I mapped the controls in a chronological order from turning the radio on, to scanning for the right channel, to increasing the volume. The dials and buttons were all turned by myself in the university workshop.

As part of this project I also developed a brand identity and packaging design for the flat packed radio.

I achieved a mark of 73 for this project.

1stgrade awarded

Project Description:

During my placement at Pocketworks I made good links with their iOS developer. Since then we have collaborated on a number of projects, this being the most recent.

Giving Together is an app based giving station designed to help national and local charities expand their donator base.

Users can search for causes close to their heart and for their local charities. A swipe and a tap adds a charity to the user’s favourites list for easy donating in the future. Users can also share their donations on social media through Facebook and Twitter.

Giving Together is currently under review for release to the App Store.

Project Description:

For my Graduation project at York St John I was entered into a competion ran in conjunction with Hiscox insurance, Make Architects, Vitra, Chapmand BDSP and Arup to design a product or space for the new Hiscox headquarters to be opened York in 2015.

The project finished on 24th June 2014 with fellow a felow Graduate winning the prize. However I was told to expect a follow up email as my concept was well received.

The concept is to instil a sense of team within the large 400 strong workforce inside the new building through the use of coloured light. Lght as an indicator of team and availability was a niche identified through first hand research talking to the Hiscox employees and from client feedback.

The feedback gained inspired me to create a lighting system that will be interacted with by the Hiscox employees and creates a talking point in the building.

Project Description:

Through my work for Grapple Wrestling I was asked to brand, produce a website and promotional material for True Grit Wrestling, a new Professional Wrestling Promotion based in Yorkshire.

True Grit Wrestling’s first show was on 17th April 2014 at Control nightclub in leeds and my promorional materials helped to draw an audience of around 200 people.

The logo with it’s distressed style represents the “gritty” nature of the product TGW intend to put out.

I have also completed designs for their June show The T.G. Cup and have been askd to continue to do so into the forseeable future.

Project Description:

In first semester of third year at York St John we were tasked with a service design module. The discipline had caught my eye prior to this during the Priestmangoode brief the previous year and therefore I was very excited for the opportunity to work with the council on this project.

The brief was titled “Reinvigorate York” and focussed on increasing footfall in the city centre by improving a number of local areas, among those listed for potential improvement was Newgate Market.

Project Description:

The Merch Stand is a joint venture between myself and two others. The aim is to produce original and timeless wrestling themed merchandise for the masses.

The designs are all conceptualised and completed by myself using various media, a mixture of hand drawn sketches and vector artwork is used to create the final images that go to print on the tshirts.

The Merch Stand also provides designs for TGW as we are the official merchandise provider for the new promotion.

I was again responsible for the logo design and website as well as the graphics for the tshirts themselves.

Project Description:

In 2nd year at York St John we were set a brief by Priestmangoode, a London based design agency focussing on design for the lucrative aviation sector.

As team leader I was responsible for organising a group of 6 designers, we worked through the customer journey using a british family traveling to Brazil as a test case.

I designed a mobile solution for the airline which included pre-flight, on board and post flight activities such as booking the flights, ordering food, in-flight entertainment, a flight tracker and an activities planner. I also came up with concepts for an inflight entertainment iPad app and “flight manager” a app for the airlines staff.

Project Description:

Having helped Grapple Wrestling LTD in the past with graphic design work I was approached to design a “British Championship” for them to use on their live shows.

The belt was to be based on classic wrestling / boxing / MMA championship belts but with a modern, british twist.

I looked at current trends and the “state of the art” to find insperation for the new belt and applied the aesthetic styling of the modern championship belts to my design.
