Hi I'm Michael, I’m currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Industrial Design at UniSA. My previous background in automotive design has fostered a deep understanding of 3D forms, interaction, and functionality, with a strong focus on user experience and attention to detail. Beyond essential skills required for industrial design, I am always exploring new techniques, including polygon modelling in Blender, parametric design using Houdini, and advanced visualisation methods. My design approach is driven by a passion for creating innovative solutions that seamlessly blend form, function, and user interaction.

RESEARCH STUDIO: GRC BENCH DESIGN

Sponsored by SPARK Furniture

The project, commissioned by SPARK Furniture, aims to design outdoor furniture while expanding the versatility of Glass Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (GRC). I developed two design directions, featuring a complete set including a tree bench and a pair of benches with a bin, utilising unique shapes that are unachievable with traditional metal and timber materials. In addition, the project includes extensive research on skate-stopper solutions and is finalised with photorealistic renderings to showcase the results.
