year Three

Commute

My pre-collection during the first semester of year three saw me actively problem solve through fashion. Millions of us in Auckland tag onto public transport each year, and there are many identifiable pains. Commute is three iterations of the ideal coat for the Auckland commuter. Addressing these pain points and responding to them through supermodern fashion, with evident historical ties like the Mackintosh coat brand and the British WWII anti-gas cape.

Hive

I designed and created Hive in my final semester of industrial design. It is a modular micro-needle nutrient patch system, designed for people suffering from the lack of effective nutrient absorbency as a result of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. IBD patients are a greatly underserved community, especially in New Zealand, and the consequences of malnutrition can be life threatening for this group. Hive offers a sustainable and easy, pain-free way of getting daily nutrients without the abdominal pain and endless supplements.
