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(ing around with ideas)!

Beliefs:

1. Everything is a work in progress.
As an innate perfectionist this is the hardest maxim to follow, but something I remind myself daily.

2. The less you own, the more freedom you have.
This may be a counterintuitive belief to hold for someone who wants to design products destined for ‘consumption’, but I believe in designing things to last, so that what you hold develops a personal significance. 

3. Patina produces personality.
Through love and longevity of use of a ‘thing’ something special happens: As it ages it wears & weathers in response to your use (or abuse), producing marks that tell a story & build character.

01.Suzi Enclosure

Product

A key fob enclosure so I don’t need to carry my bulky car key everywhere.

The enclosure allows me to hang this from my car mirror, without it looking obvious that it is a key fob (the key blade stays with me).

03. Tactix 310 Container Container

Organisation

I love these $6 Bunnings containers for storing screws & bolts, but I don’t love retrieving them when I need to fish through each compartment for the item I need. The 22 compartments are narrow and hard to get your fingers in, made worse by the slide-in dividers that easily slide-out, combining the previously [ meticulously] separated supplies.

I made these infill containers with a lip pull so I can remove a collection of bolts, tip them out on my bench & make a mess while I find the one I want, then put them all back together  without disturbing the surrounding storage.

This is what peak organisation means

04.2SS Stem

2023
Professional

Product

Designed, engineered and fabricated as part of an ‘advanced prototyping’ class at University.

As an avid cyclist, the stem represents the convergence of design & engineering — an opportunity to design for both form & function.

The stem utilises CNC Machining [lathe + end mill] to shape the form from a billet of 6061-T6 Aluminium. 

The stem design accounts for the restrictions of the 3-axis CNC machine available at RMIT, but pushes these to the limits with a contoured body with angular ends. 

Post-processing was required to remove machine marks & create a high-shine in preparation for anodizing & laser engraving.
