Motorcycle gear expanded my understanding of what product development could be.

Joining Savic Motorcycles meant moving beyond traditional apparel into a world where every design decision carried technical consequences. Performance, rider safety, ergonomics, sustainability, manufacturing, and commercial viability had to be considered simultaneously, demanding a more rigorous and multidisciplinary approach to product development.

Working alongside engineers, textile scientists, manufacturers, and safety specialists challenged me to think beyond aesthetics. I contributed to the development of Australia's first electric motorcycle apparel collection, collaborating with suppliers including Ventile and Evrnu to explore emerging materials and sustainable textile technologies while developing products for an evolving mobility landscape.

The experience reinforced a principle that continues to shape my work: innovation is rarely the result of a single discipline. The strongest products emerge when design, engineering, manufacturing, and commercial strategy are considered as one integrated system.

Alongside this work, I collaborated with Flying Solo Gear to develop the next generation of their best-selling luggage range, translating design concepts into detailed technical specifications for manufacture. Supporting supplier engagement and national retail relationships further strengthened my understanding of how successful products move from concept to customer.

Motorcycle product development demonstrated that good design is measured not simply by how a product looks, but by how it performs, protects, and earns the trust of the people who depend on it.
