A sample of engineering innovations I've worked on & led from concept to production.

DigiEye

DigiEye is leading the charge for the use of accurate, digital, low carbon colour communication for supply chains and designers around the world.

DigiEye V8R1 is VeriVide's newest non-contact digital colour measurement instrument. I lead the project from inception in July 2022 to launch in February 2025.

OmniStretch

Omnistretch ensures workout clothing is fit-for-purpose and remains opaque during the most stretching of workouts.

I took over design lead after concept design, taking OmniStretch from test rigs past the first production run.

Co-developed and in use with M&S, Next & Tesco.

UltraView & VisionView

UltraView & VisionView made up the largest product launch for VeriVide since the early 2000's and are a major strand of its product offering. I worked on cost engineering, cutting chassis cost by 50% during prototyping alongside running testing programs, conducting prototype builds and anthropometric studies.

Luminaire Design

Cube Lighting is a bespoke architectural lighting manufacturer. As a product designer there I took multiple luminaires through development to initial production. I was also responsible for marketing renders, datasheet creation, and layout and design of product catalogues.

AI Photography Lighting

During my masters at Loughborough University I developed SL-1, artificial intelligence driven photography lighting. Designed for enthusiast photographers, SL-1 used AI to predict ideal photography lighting settings from its environment. A mix of auto, semi-auto, and manual modes allow user control with different levels of AI assistance.
