BSc (Hons) Product Design
Samuel Wood
My focus on technical design stems from a background in engineering and an interest in everything mechanical. I enjoy product design which allows me to learn new skills and improve on existing ones.
ROYAL MAIL REDESIGN
Royal Mail have been supplying their staff with the same bags for many years. The delivery market has changed massively with a 30% increase in parcels being delivered. The original bags satchel design was also causing long term negative health effects to the users. This bag uses a ergonomic backpack style front, with a main compartment that drops down for easy access without removing the bag. This means the user gets the same storage space with reduced health implications.
VACUPORT
Vacuport is a blood sample transport device designed to reduce the plastic waste produced by the medical sector. Every year 655 million plastic sample bags are incinerated and Vacuport is designed to prevent this waste. It uses a rolled up tube holder that slides into a durable outer case lined with a recyclable spill layer.
