Projects
Rolls Royce PLC
Concept, visualization & Install project management
When Rolls Royce PLC wanted to use an existing empty space overlooking their state of the art "Trent" aircraft engine facility, I was brought onboard.
Through concept sketches and CAD modelling I demonstrated how this area could be converted into an education and exhibition area.
Using their world beating turbine fin design as inspiration, I designed sculptural elements suspended from the ceiling to entice visitors through the space.
The centre feature is a glass layered lit edge freestanding graphic which shows the simplified flow of air through the turbine engine. This is surrounded with technical lit wall mounted graphics an individual exhibits detailing their part in the engine process.
Signage and lighting complete the treatment to this area including giant format window and stair tread graphics as visitors enter the education centre.
Suck, squeeze - bang! as they say in Derby.
Epson UK
Concept sketches, CAD modelling & Production
When Epson wanted a creative solution to exhibit at BETT at London ExCel I was there to provide a a creative solution. Infact the stand was so well received that I was used to create a solution a few years later at the same show.
My input was a full cradle to grave service , from response to the brief to win the work to running the full production to handover on site.
Challenges overcome included exhibiting all the product ranges with networking as well as including a demonstration theatre to present new product technologies.
Royal Enfield
Concepts, CAD modelling & installation
What better place for this iconic brand to showcase their heritage in the motorcycle world than at the Goodwood Revival set in the Sussex downs?
The main area was an Ace cafe inspired retail area including a working period Wurlitzer jukebox playing hits of the period!
A period mechanics workshop detailed with period oil cans, tools etc was set off with period actors engaging with visitors to the event.
