From my own experience as an international student living in a shared house, I always felt my bedroom was the more personal more private space I had in the house. The SST is a flat pack design which is made to be assembled by the end user who also has the added flexibility of choosing their own layout. This layout allows the user to arrange their belongings in a more user personalised way.
The Oslo Eco-Planter waters plants naturally using sub-irrigation this makes sure plants get only the water they need and not too much. Users must fill up the water section at least once a week and the planter will do the rest. Ceramic is used due to how it is watertight and makes the product more beautiful and valuable thus encouraging longevity in use.
The Exercise Chair is a piece of exercise equipment that those preferring a home workout can use for individual or group exercise. The chair is made from High Density Polyethylene due to its outstanding outdoor characteristics and is also cost effective for the Injection Moulding process which is used to make the chair.
QCAD helped me grow and develop my skills, I really enjoyed utilising the skills learnt there by being a freelance product designer and I've managed to gain hands-on experience by designing for my local church, Presence Church, whilst also studying and receiving an academic excellence award in 2020.

The Soleil Food Cart is a cart with a solar cooking oven on top and it has been designed to host culinary events and educate people about food sustainability. Vagor is a modular surfboard rack designed in a way that it can come flat packed, doesn't require tools to assemble and it also has a few different assembly options.
Peel Me is a lamp that is a simple laser cut design.
I have transferred from UAL in London to finish my design Bachelor in Brisbane. I am originally Polish and I found it extremely interesting to study design on a different continent and be able to compare design teachings in the UK and Australia.
