Read the placement summaryI designed assembly jigs in SolidWorks, co-developed a printed prototype and checked it against production equipment before refinement and release for CNC manufacture.
- 01
Measure & model
I reverse-engineered a physical component with vernier calipers while training in SolidWorks.
- 02
Prototype & validate
I tested the printed prototype against real equipment in the cleanroom.
- 03
Refine for manufacture
We refined the design before it was released for CNC manufacture.

A light fixture
for the Angles brief.
I developed this light through geometric studies, layered drawings and physical assembly. My sketchbook records the changes along the way.

A stand shaped
by the brief.
I used user research, Fusion 360 and physical prototypes to develop this tableware stand. I redesigned one solid mould half as a hollow shell, reducing its estimated resin cost from over £50 to about £9.
