Final Major ProjectAn air purier that breathes
With a staggering 21 million suffering from allergy in the
UK alone, it is easy to see a need for a product that
helps tackle this problem. This air purier is projected
for 2020, designed to tackle the problem of airborne
allergens in the home.
When it is active the unit sucks in air and begins to
breathe as it does so. When the lter needs to be
changed the unit will stop breathing and an indication
will ash on the remote indicating the lter needs to be
changed. The outer mesh is intended to be removable
allowing access to change the lter, whilst still allowing
air to ow through.
My goal to create a visually engaging product meant
that the interaction had to be expressed with the
objects entire body as o pposed to a small LED light
point display.

Stage 1 The fan draws in air through the vent, allow
through the lter, trapping the allergens. The air pre
increase in the latex membrane as more air is draw
membrane to expand.
Stage 2 The two solenoid valves then release the c
surrounding environment and the process repeats.

NHC CompetitionInclusive Bathroom Design
This project was a competition brief all about
inclusive design. We had to pick a problem area for

Bowers & Wilkins Portable SpeakersBowers & Wilkins customers mostly consist of established
audiophiles due to their focus on achieving premium quality
sound. They were however, unsure how to attract young
audiophiles-to-be, which is why we were asked to design
portable speakers for that market.

Concept 1 DiffusionDiffusion gives the user the opportunity to experience
music how it was meant to be heard through the use of
the 360o sound feature. Alternatively they can broadcast
their music in a linear direction if desired.
Diffusion has no home and can be adapted to any
environment, providing the user with a truly portable
experience.

Fully PortableThe large bi-directional carryhandle creates an easy method of
transportation. It is designed to go
anywhere and charges via mains
or USB.
Robust Manual ControlsAll the necessary volume controls
and main dial are all in one place
at the top of the unit. The main dial
allows the user to choose between,
OFF, directional sound or 3600
sound.

Concept 2 ResonanceResonance is a portable speaker with a difference.
Sensors pick up ambient sounds and light and play
music corresponding to its feedback. Mood lighting
can also be manually adjusted to suit the user.

Bowers & Wilkins PackagingLooking at the brand as a whole, it didnt have a
denitive identity as such, therefore there was an
opportunity to re-design the brands packaging and
P.O.S.
Not only did the packaging style differ from product
to product within the range, the placement was often
bottom shelf, with opposing products such as the
Jambox, placed above it.
There was also an opportunity to distinguish seperate
ranges within the brand through the use of the
packaging as this is what will be seen in storefront.

A Unifed RangeThe solution was to create unity
within the brands packaging and
also differentiate between different
price points through simple colour
usage. This will help customers
to make quicker decisions at thePoint of Sale.

In-Home EthnographiesWe then proceeded to perform in-home ethnographies
with 11 participating households. The aim was to
gain a sample of home-owners ranging from young
professionals to families to the retired.
Creating a Discussion GuideI collaborated with Ryan Sanderson in a brainstorming
session as to what content to put into the discussion
guide. It took four inital drafts until the nal structure
was decided on. This was to act as a framework in
order to ask questions and gain feedback.
