ODD JOBS & 3D DESIGN

Velaris is a resort in Croatia that I have done some work for, including some Illustrator drawings and logos, as well as brochures.

The Royal New Zealand Navy ran a competition to design the ship badge for their new replenishment ship HMNZS Aotearoa, where my design was a finalist.
The design features a Manaia, which is a mythological Maori creature whose symbol is used as a guardian against evil, which I thought was appropriate for a naval vessel. The rest of the design is made up of the ocean and the Southern Cross from the NZ Naval Ensign.

3D DESIGN

We all start somewhere, and while I have been a graphic designer for a long time I actually majored in Product Design.
As part of this I became quite proficient in Solidworks and Rhino. Below are a few nostalgia projects from back in my university days.

This brief was to redesign an LPG gas heater to be smaller to use less materials. Designed and rendered in Solidworks.

Here I was given a brief to design a new MP3 player. My solution to the brief was based around the semantics of designing the earbuds as musical notes. Designed and rendered in Rhino.

In my third year I was given a brief to design a recreational vehicle that used rotational moulding as the primary production method.
My design was to make a shallow water river vessel, which actually won the Australasian Rotational Moulders Association competition that year.
Designed and rendered in Rhino.

One of my favourite designs from my degree was the first one, where I had to design a flat-pack paper lamp.
My solution drew inspiration from the Protea Sugarbrushe flower.
