I am a Leicester born designer passionate about functional, utilitarian products which evoke a positive outcome in society.
Hydro
The hydro is a diving safety device that is used in emergency situations. Once the device is pulled from the divers leg, the cree xm-l’s will activate giving off an intense bright blue light. The divers underwater co-ordinates will be sent to the dive boat via a gps gateway. Once the diver has been found the device can be turned off with another pull.
Embark
The Embark, is a utilitarian dog walking bag that reduces the stigma surrounding the dog poo bag to ensure users take their used poo bags home with them instead of them being thrown into the outside environment. The Embark also provides a means of carrying dog walking essentials to allow the dog walking process to become even more manageable.
