Kinergy
Kinergy is a heating system that aims to make the user more concious of their energy usage.
It works through specially designed floor tiles that absorb the users kinetic energy and stores it in a battery for later use.
The built in portable unit is detachable and can be moved around for personal use.
This was a 12 week group project, and together we designed the final concept.
This project was submitted to the 2012 EDF design challenge, where it was one of 12 shortlisted for the finals.

Cirque
Cirque was a project in collaboration with Phoenix Tapware to design their new range of tapware. Cirque is inspired by
spheres and cones, and was designed to take a step away from the current trend of rectinilier forms in bathware.
The final concept is a standard mixer tap for the bathroom. Manufacutured from zinc with the option of being finished in
chrome or powder coating. Cirque’s upward sweeping form creates a feeling of weightlessness, while the ball shape of the handle provides a comfortable grip for varying hand sizes.
