Sketchbook

Where I explore ideas outside of courses and clients. Forms, materials and rendering techniques I'm curious about, along with thoughts on what I learn along the way. Some will grow into projects, most won't.

Exploration

Wall shelf

A brushed steel panel with thin shelves, for books and small things. The shelves hook in and out, so you can move them to any row and only use the lengths you need. The ones you don't use hang on the side.

Blender · Concept

3D model of the steel wall panel with shelves. Drag a shelf to move it to another row, or past the right edge to hang it on the side.

Exploration

Arch lamp

One bent tube, lit from the open end. I used it to practise texture and light: the same form in six surfaces, from rough concrete to layered stone. The form started from a reference image I liked; the materials are my own studies.

Exploration

Vossa Studio

A logo for a small studio a friend and I started for fun. It began as a V drawn in a grid and was pared down to a single stroke and a dot.

Exploration

Tape dispenser

The shape of the tape dispenser is inspired by the landscape architect Isamu Noguchi: one soft arch that carries the roll.

A CAD model designed to be injection moulded in plastic (ABS), made in Fusion 360. It comes in different sizes: a wider model and one for a larger roll of tape.
