EM1 Prototyping Vlog
A playlist of every update, frustration and breakthrough I had during the prototyping process of my main university project: The EM1. I recommend checking out my other post about the EM1 to find out more about it. View the Full playlist Or watch it here…
The EM1
The EM1 is the culmination of my degree in Product Design & Technology at Loughborough University. A technically functional and carefully considered device to prevent speakers at music events from being driven too hard, burning out and needing replacement. The EM1 is a two part system – a base station and up to 18 remote […]
Bloom!
As part of the Live Projects module at Loughborough University Design School, a handful of companies and consultancies each presented us with a design brief. As students, we were able to choose one brief and design a solution to address it. I chose Panasonic’s brief, what was “living better together: design a product for shared […]
Automated Aeropress Coffee Machine
This was the main project of the Mechanics & Electronics module at Loughborugh University in my final year. Despite being a piss poor module which came under fire from our entire cohort, the outcome was rather fun. The brief was to design a device that would automagically plunge an Aeropress coffee maker (with as much […]
3D Printable Beolab 6000 Wall Mounts
Do you have a pair of Bang & Olufsen Beolab 6000 speakers? Do you have a 3D printer? Do you want to avoid paying £400 for a set of wall mounts for your pair of Beolab 6000s? Well look no further! That pretty much explains this post… I designed some 3D printable wall mounts for […]
Injection Moulding
The brief was to design an injection moldable widget as a promotional item for a company. It had to use under a certain volume of plastic and be a specific size, and that was it. Each student designed their own widget individually, then grouped together with eight others to choose the best design and manufacture […]
sh1tpixels
sh1tpixels is yet another sub-brand of Errant Minds. I created the Instagram account in 2018 as a place to show off the renders and animations I was making at the time. During School, one of my main pastimes outside of the classroom was playing with software like Cinema 4D, Maya, Houdini and various render engines […]
Astrophotography
Whenever I go somewhere with low light pollution, I try and take some photos of the stars…
Raku Fired Ceramics
In 2019 I had the unique opportunity to throw my own pots, and fire them in a Raku kiln. Raku firing is a traditional Japanese pottery firing technique, typically involving removing the pottery from the kiln while it’s red-hot and placing it into a container filled with combustible materials, which ignite upon contact with the […]
A Level Art CGI
This was a weird one… but actually pretty cool in hindsight. To go with the thrown pottery for my A level art, this animation depicted a pot man coming to life in a museum – only to return to his ancient amphora brethren. I used a xBox Kinect V1 to motion capture my body movements […]
