What we’ve done.
We’ve worked on a lot of different types of projects, spanning our expertise in research, design and engineering.
EMBARK.
An embarkation ladder rigging mechanism designed to eliminate human error in ship-to-ship transfers at sea. This design engineered solution can reduce potential risk by 80% and has won awards including “Most immediate lifesaving potential” for its patent-pending technology. (2018 - present)

Unstable Ground.
A collaboration between Jack Wild and Madelaine Dowd, Unstable Ground is an interactive exhibition installation exploring the interconnected stories of the 2009 L’Aquila earthquake in Italy. We wanted to create an interactive installation which would allow users to explore the interviews in a way which was engaging and encouraged focused listening. (2016)

When Disaster Strikes.
The nature of relief design involves a boundary between the design process and the area of its use. This disconnection between these two features can pose a negative distraction for the whole intention. The sensitivity of the whole idea can be mistranslated by differing approaches. (2016)
Research
Horaikan Trail.
An international design project to create tsunami escape routes on the coast of Kamaishi, Japan, and to co-design with the local community. The intention was to remove the morbid associations and to create a nature trail with respect to the memory of those that lost their lives. (2015)
