  • About

    Charles is a recent graduate of the the Industrial Design program at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. He is constantly exploring the ability to create bold design solutions that bring together art and technology in innovative and practical ways. Combined with a passion for sustainability,Charles hopes to develop products that promote resource minimisation in fun and engaging ways.

  • Education
    • Bachelor of Industrial Design Social and Sustainable
      RMIT University

      During his studies Charles explored the design of sustainable products to promote behaviour change. Believing that modern society is sensitive to issues of consumption, waste and disposability, Charles aims to inspire sustainable engagement in all areas of design and production. Charles’ exploration in this area is documented in his illustrated thesis titled “Speaking Volume”, which culminated in the creation of tank. Through various theories on behaviour change, tank aims to facilitate sustainable showering practices in order to minimise water wastage.
