Final year project
PAIR - An at home reusable STI test kit
Pair
Pair's kit includes a reusable main device and two sets of tests. One tests for chlamydia and gonorrhoea, and the other for HIV and syphilis.
Details
The main device is rechargeable. The test can be completed from any safe space once charged.
Components
The kit is made up of two tests and everything the user needs to complete the test is included.
Cleaning
The module for test two can be removed after use to allow the user the full wipe down and sanitise of the product.
Functionality
The lid lifts up for the user to place cartridge one into, and once a sample is added to the cartridge the lid can be closed and the test will begin. Cartridge two slots into the front of module two and the second test will begin once the sample is added. The two sets of LEDs signify the time remaining on each of the tests.
Memo - For Airbnb
Memo is a scented postcard printer which is found in Airbnb properties that helps users create and display memories of their trip.
Memo - Scents
The user is able to choose between a variety of scents to apply to the postcard. Scents have been proven to boost memory so users are able to be easily reminded of their trip.
Memo - Postcard Printing
Users upload pictures to the Airbnb app from their phone, where they are then printed real-time for the user to display, keep and reflect back on.

Work Experience
My placement year in industry was at Loowatt, where I worked on a team developing toilets for less economically developed countries. I developed many valuable skills such as 3D printing, rapid prototyping and CAD. It was a hands-on placement where I became confident in the workshop building large scale test rigs for testing the products. This placement pushed me as a designer and challenged me to work on different types of design projects that I hadn't previously faced.
2-week work experience at IDC. At this placement, I developed my rendering, CAD and colour comprehension skills to a high level.
