Hello.
My name is Tom and I am a designer based in
London. I am passionate about industrial design
and I aspire to make meaningful products to make
the present day even more interesting. I enjoy
hands on tasks and making things, learning what
works and what doesn’t.

Viper
      Bike Light
Location: Middlesex University
Duration: 10 weeks
Client: Swifty Scooters
Market: Weekend Warriors

                                 4

Landscaping
 Weekend warriors are individuals that work hard
during the week and play hard at the weekends,
participating in activities such as extreme sports.
  Through research, I studied associated aspects
                               and characteristics.

                                                 5

Ideation
Using an iterative process, I developed my
 design ideas through sketches and foam
 and clay models, exploring the theme of
                              aerodynamics.

                              The concept was detail designed to create
Top                        mating bosses and rib features that would hold
                             the parts together and contain the circuitry.

Prototype
  The 3D printed model was fully functional
with spray paint finish and equipped with a
                            rubberised strap.

                                           8

Final concept
  My final design reflects the tough and fearless
       attitude of a weekend warrior. The chosen
materials make it impact and weather resistant,
 fitting comfortably into a rugged and outdoor
                                         lifestyle.

FlowStyler
 Hair dryer
Location: Middlesex University
Duration: 5 weeks
Client: Curventa
Market: Young men

                                 10

Analysis
       My process began by exploring 30 different
 ideas, each inspired and supported by a range
of insights. I selected the concepts with potential,
          refining them using sketches and testing
                                        prototypes.

                                                 11

Ideation
  Following my initial concepts and prototypes, I
  further explored men’s hair styling, developing
 designs and foam models that demonstrated a
bond between the product and the user’s hand.

                                              12

Final concept
My final design ‘Flow’ redefines the common hair
dryer by eliminating the handle, making it lighter
 and easier to hold. The removable power cable
 makes storage effortless and more presentable.

  products through both form and colour. By using ABS
 plastic, my design can easily be manufactured and
                                           distributed.
