Bomber Furniture

Scandinavian design is typically known for its simple lines, sustainable focus and organic feel, typically using wood. Norway is one of the largest and most efficient aluminium producers in the world - can this be leveraged to challenge typical Scandinavian design?

Utilitarian in nature, the design is inspired by I-beams perforated with ”speedholes”, tackling sustainability in its ability to be lightweight, shipped flat-packed and its indestructible nature.

This has led me through a journey of learning about aluminium casting, and optimising the design for production through a series of studies, from paper mockups to aluminium casts.

Gravity Sketch - Design Sprint

An electric toothbrush for children.

Modelled entirely in Gravity Sketch (Sub-D), and rendered in KeyShot.

Generative Imaging

A selection of studies using AI-based imaging tools. Results from a combination of Stable Diffusion, MidJourney, VizCom.ai, and Photoshop Beta, both in raw form and composite images. Partly exploring alternatives in the creative process, and partly just for fun.

Shoji Lamp

Briefed to make a lamp using laser cut cardboard, the project evolved through a series of MDF and Acrylic iterations into a material study, resulting in a CNC-milled aluminium to explore metal finishing.

A shoji is a translucent room divider typically used in traditional Japanese architecture - and the lamp mimics the effect with a translucent light source caged by plates suspended by standoffs.

Formula Elastic

”Using a 16ft rubber band, two servos and a $1000 budget, design and build a remote controlled car for maximum distance.”

An ArtCenter tradition, we set out to create a remote controlled car powered only by winding a rubber band. An iterative process walked us through 3 functioning prototypes, 150 different 3D printed parts, and countless tests ultimately rendered a winning car at the 2023 race with a 2,043 feet run.

Group project with Cali Ashmun.

737 Kitchen Grinder

The perfect kitchen grinder - chef grade in operation, high end-restaurant in looks. It needs to be easy to fill, grind well, not make a mess on your table, and feel smooth in action - a workhorse, much like the Boeing 737.

Learning how to use a lathe and turned aluminium, combing high end mechanics, a ball-bearing, and consulting with local manufacturers.

Photobooks

Despite my existential problem with photography (whats the point of photography?), I have realised it can bring a lot of joy and entertainment.

I started to make photobooks to get myself and others away from our beloved screens. Sharing photos in a phsical format brings people together in a much more socially engaging way compared to bringing up your laptop at a dinner party.

But most importantly it makes our memories a little more tangible. Instead of 17,000 photos in iCloud, the books are a curated way to go back in time, or share stories and moments.

Ford Bronco 96’ Resto-Mod

What started with a fascination for The Little Mule in “Romancing the Stone” eventually became many hours of YouTube research, lots of learning, and travels across all of the west coast.

In 2015, after 7 owners and 170k miles, the car was taken apart, repainted, reupholstered and overhauled with a combination of OEM and custom parts.

Its sheer size and sound is mesmerising in itself, but it is also the most social car I have ever experienced. Sitting 6 people in an open top truck cruising into the sunset along the PCH eating ice cream is a spectacle.

Honda Grom 14’ Modification

During the first round of the pandemic, people either broke up, made babies or got a dog. My covid-baby? A motorcycle.

After getting MC-licence in 2018, I realised I was terrified of motorcycling - but the idea stuck with me. The Honda Grom is a nimble bike, with lots of modification opportunity, making it a great starting point for a learning project.

Modifications:
”Prototype Camo” wrap, Custom welded exhaust with Tyga silencer and custom brackets, 3D Printed Licence-plate bracket, Integrated Taillight, Micro mirrors and indicators, Low profile handle-bars, Regeared drivetrain with gold chain, White sidewalled tires.

Porsche 944 86’ Racing

During a Christmas dinner in 2018, I was told to come racing. Way too expensive and difficult I thought. But my subconscious didn't let go. After a year and a half of reading forums, I pulled the trigger on my second Covid Baby - a rust-bucket 1986 Porsche 944. The combination of German engineering, front engine and transaxle creates a well-balanced candidate that’s easy to work on.

The car was imported, registered, completely taken apart, and rebuilt as a street-legal racecar. I then raced in the National 944 Championship, resulting in a podium position in the last race of the season.!
