Design Management

My Masters Degree in Applied Science, Design for Technology. It allows me to combine design sciences, business and technological engineering to bene t di erent sectors. I have been involved in projects that have enabled me to develop my industry experience in relation to graphic design, user experience, manufacturing and production. I have managed my own research, formulated reports, and worked with stakeholders and clients while liaising with various divisions. I am well travelled and innovative, with excellent problem solving skills and self-motivation. I have the ability to integrate the practical and academics to achieve a desired result. I want to secure a position with an organization, where I can bring immediate and strategic value while developing my current skillset further.

Otago University Sustainable Agriculture – Product Design / Development / Management

Designed and tested a new biodegradable balege wrap that is more sustainable, efficient and cost effective. The need existed for an environmentally friendly yet e cient way to produce and feed out preserved pasture. By analyzing the baleage process from start to nish, (wrapping to feeding out and disposal) we produced a product that is biodegradable and also edible by the animals. Entered the James Dyson Awards with the Design.

Menixis – Product Development / Design Management/Graphic Design Part of the team that designed stage one of the Menixis particle separator. The project involved evaluating and producing an innovative uid cell developed for imaging, identifying and counting the worm eggs in stool (animal and human). The device is simple to manufacture and supports the transmission of images by cellphone to enable remote location analysis (third world countries). This will greatly simplify parasite diagnosis and improve treatment e cacy by minimizing unnecessary drug usage. This project had Gates Foundation funding.

Hone Tuwhare Trust- Communication / Participatory Design / Graphic Design This is an approach to design attempting to actively involve all stakeholders (e.g. employees, partners, customers, citizens, end users) in the design process to help ensure the result meets their needs and is usable. The Hone Tuwhare Trust wanted to design an academic writers residency in New Zealand. The Trust members took part in a participatory design workshop, which I designed specifically for them, it focused on addressing the issues around how the residency was going to be formed, identifying the users and possible structures of the residency.
