  Aug 2015 - Nov 2015

  Product design intern

  I worked in a team of three to develop a city wide concept that would enrich the lives of local Brighton residents with the use of connected technologies. This project utilised an AGILE methodology to complete an extensive research and iteration process that produced over 200 concepts. The result was Notice (notice.city). A family of three connected devices that aim to improve the city communication, specifically in terms of urban planning. After testing our prototypes and having focus groups and town meetings we decided to enter the designs in to a competition run by Innovate UK for further funding for testing. Unfortunately it did not get shortlisted.My main roles in the team were to sketch out concepts, engineer the prototypes from low to high fidelity, produce CAD models for analysis, prototyping and visualisations, output the visualisations (both still and animations), video edit and develop the presentations to give to the stakeholders.
