About

b. 1986, HK.

 

Nick Frearson

For as long as I can remember I have always been drawn to creativity, and the freedom of expression it offers in drawing, prototyping and developing solutions. Following a curiosity in Engineering and a passion for the Arts, I found myself wandering the expansive avenue of Industrial Design. With a strong focus on sustainability and the social responsibility of products and services, I have been able to develop a professional portfolio of completed projects I am proud to showcase here.

In 2019 I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Industrial Design at Swinburne University of Technology where I was able to hone my ideation and product development skills to an industry level. During this period, I was fortunate enough to work with likeminded professionals and peers, who were able to provide valuable insight into the world of design. Working in team projects to develop a range of services and products has helped me grow my interpersonal skills, constructive self-criticism and an improved quality of work.

I am also self-taught in variety of tactile mediums and am constantly seeking to grow these skills for personal development. As such I have developed expertise in fields such as Leather work, 3D printing, Laser Cutting, Blacksmithing, Knife Making, Wood Work, Furniture Design, Product Design, Photography, and Digital Illustration.
