get to know ROry
I am a graduate product designer based in the north of England driven by a fascination with the narrative of product creation. I am passionate about the story of a products life from the initial brief through the stages of ideation and prototyping, to the synthesis of a final design that satisfies the specific needs and desires outlined by a client.

My notable projects
MOD LAMP
Peoples relationships with their household objects often end the moment they are placed in their home.
ModLamp was created to maintain the interaction that the user has with their possessions through a modular range of products.
The simple design of ModLamp provides an ease of use that invites the user to interchange and customize their lighting product to their required functions.
WorkAway
Remote workers often find it hard to separate their work and home lives due to work related items being a frequent sight in their living spaces. WorkAway is the single storage device needed to keep all documents and work related items in one enclosed space to allow for a better work-life balance.
midi converter
Currently in the electronic music production field, if someone wants to connect two MIDI devices where one uses USB connection and the other uses 5-Pin Din, you would need to plug both devices into a computer and use software to be able to transfer the MIDI information. This can be a long process that slows down production rates. My product serves as a replacement for the intermediate computer by utilising the processing power of an Arduino Uno R3 to transfer the MIDI data between multiple devices. It includes a USB in/out port as well as four MIDI in ports and 4 MIDI out ports.
Potanist
Potanist was created for those who may not have time or have bad habits for watering their plants. It utilizes moisture sensors, temperature sensors, and a data base for different plants needs to know exactly how often and how much to water the plant. The product contains a large reservoir of water that is pumped up through the soil to give an even watering throughout. It is controlled by an Arduino that takes inputs of the data from the sensors, cross references it with the database, and decides weather the plant needs watering at that time.
