About

b. 1986, HK.

 

Nicholas Frearson

I have always been driven by a strong interest in creativity and problem-solving, particularly through drawing, prototyping, woodworking

My interest in engineering principles, combined with an appreciation for the arts, led me to pursue a career in Industrial Design.

I am particularly committed to sustainable design practices and the social responsibility of products and services, and I strive to integrate these principles into all aspects of my work.

In 2019, I completed a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Industrial Design at Swinburne University of Technology. During my studies, I developed advanced ideation, research, and product development skills aligned with industry standards.

Collaborative studio projects provided valuable exposure to professional design processes and strengthened my ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary teams.

Over 10 years of combined experience in the woodworking shops, warehouses, hospitality and design studios have enhanced my communication skills, critical thinking, and capacity for constructive evaluation.

Here, you can find some of the projects I have worked on through my years as a creative.
