I'm a forward-thinking designer who likes to focus on real-world problems, using creative solutions to make an improvement to people's lives. I always have a strong focus on sustainability and always push for innovative yet often simple solutions.
Aqua Go
Bottled water is often expected to be clean and pure, however this is not the case. Microplastics are commonly found within the bottles, with often hundreds of pieces contaminating the water. Aqua Go provides a way to ensure that contamination is removed from the water, using a 0.2 micron hollow fibre membrane filter.
Aqua Go is a universal product that can be applied to the majority of plastic water bottles, ensuring that everyone can have access to truly clean bottled water. The Aqua Go micro filter removes microplastics and other harmful substances being consumed with bottled water. Made from fully recycled Polyethylene terephthalate, this product can be recycled at the end of its life and has an overall positive impact on the environment.
PeakHeat
Currently when going hiking or camping, if you want to take food food to heat up on the journey, it requires specialist equiptment, which is very heavy and often expensive. This is where PeakHeat food container comes in with a solution. A foil insulated container, with sodium acetate gel heating pad allows for the container to reach an internal temperature of 60�C, and stays at 56�C for over 3 hours. This is combined with a solar powered thermometer and digital display allows for the temperature to be known to the user. The PeakHeat container allows for users to carry cold food and heat it up on the go, making it a truly off the grid product, which requires no external power.
