Multi-Functional Food Container
This Eco-Friendly food/snack container was created using A4 corrugated cardboard sheets.
It uses press-fit joints and tab mechanisms to hold its form.
It contains two identical chambers where different food types can be held without contaminating each other.

Protect & Effect
This is a 3D Rendered Model and the final iteration for this project.
This project was to design and create a contemporary egg packaging that could survive transportation and delivery. The product includes two modular pieces that interlock in a press-fit joint. It is adjustable for different types of eggs.

Drowning In Plastics
This CAD model depicts my 4th design in the protect & effect project.
This model was not developed any further as it was not structurally capable to introduce an adjustable mechanism. It was designed for a large-sized chicken egg which did not include diversity.

Compilation of Models Designed in Fusion 360
This is a compilation of models that I designed in Fusion 360.
I designed my private spaces for refugees and the Homeless. In my mind, the best housing solution for the homeless or refugees was to create a form such as interlocking pods which could be stacked and transported.

A Darwinists' Chalice
This image depicts a chalice that is inspired by evolution and natural selection.
I used biomimicry from ants and scorpions as a solution to an organic twist. I scrutinised and researched ants antennas and legs along with inspiration from scorpions tails to help develop the chalices legs and handles.

Connections Postcard
This model was created with Electro-organic systems as inspiration.
I moulded a brain out of clay and incorporated electronic circuitry into the brain, foreshadowing human technological and biological advancements.
The model includes a working transmitter, receiver, capacitors and LEDs.

Codependence
This is a collection of my 3D Models for my Final iteration.
In this project, I designed and built a coat stand that tackled the issue of form and space. It includes an adjustable mechanism allowing it to be shortened and lengthened per the consumers' requirements.

Drowning in Plastics
This is an image of my final batch of a bio-plastic I developed.
This Bio-Plastic is completely Biodegradable and edible. It is created through the use of, Water, Carrageenan iota, Glycerol and Japanese Knotweed Leaves.
Oliver Weintraub
In the majority of my foundation projects, I have relied on the use of CAD and CAM production. In this project, I decided to use an alternative route.
In this project, I used simple materials that are more or less everyday objects such as corrugated cardboard from delivery boxes. I wanted to take advantage of such overlooked and amazing material. I have ultimately transformed A4 sheets of cardboard, used in delivery boxes and packages and turned them into a three-dimensional product that relies on its own properties to retain structural integrity and form. I believe that you could design and create anything out of cardboard with the correct mechanisms introduced.

Awards
I was selected to showcase my solution to the "Drowning in Plastics" Project, where I developed my own bio-plastics. It was showcased in the Plastics Exhibition.
