Short for squiggles, squigs is a pseudonym that captures my interests:

  • Squiggles are what I like to draw on paper to bring an idea to life.

  • Squiggles are the contour lines on a topographic map that I seek out when running or cycling

  • Squiggles are the sinuous movement of my design & life interests

  • Squiggles are childish & fun 〜〜〜〜 I like to learn through play!

Torgny Concept Bike

Modelled a complete concept bike with EVERY component modelled to the ‘nth’ degree.

  • 2021

  • Rendering project @ University

  • Fully digital!

  • I used solid, surface & freeform modelling to model a complete bike around the frame.

    All components were accurately drawn from existing products [as measured] to create a realistic model with real-world product with tolerances.

SQ—U195 Headphones

Modelled a pair of retro 1980’s Pioneer headphones with some subtle branding & ‘soft’ features.

  • 2021

  • Rendering project @ University

  • Digital Concept with system journey map

  • Research into energy markets & existing or future products that capture energy use information to build a design concept around improving energy literacy.

Shoes Shelf

A shoe rack concept that uses folds in sheet metal to securely hold any type of shoe. The rack mounts to an existing door or wall & can be repeated to increase capacity.

  • 2020

  • Materials project @ University

  • Studio project @ University

  • 16mm Birch Plywood
    3mm Acrylic Inlay
