Hi, I’m Matthew, a Product Design graduate passionate about hands-on making and physical prototyping. Whether using 3D printers, CNC machines, or manual processes, I enjoy exploring how materials come together to form thoughtful, functional products. My main interest lies in furniture design, particularly combining timber and metal to balance warmth with precision. Throughout my studies, I’ve developed a strong appreciation for sustainability and designing for disassembly, creating products that are durable, repairable, and considerate of their full lifecycle from manufacture to end of life.

CAPSTONE PROJECT - iFixIt Coral

Brand:IFIXIT Theme: Hobby-to-Habit

The iFixit Coral is a handheld motorised sprayer designed to bring intelligence and care to indoor plant maintenance. Guided by integrated AI, Coral automatically adjusts its water flow and spray pattern based on each plant’s unique requirements. Paired moisture probes and an intuitive app learn from your watering habits over time, creating a responsive system that nurtures healthier growth with less waste. Designed for disassembly, its snap-lock housings simplify repair and recycling, embodying iFixit’s right-to-repair philosophy. The Coral transforms everyday plant care into a mindful, sustainable ritual of precision and balance
