about me.

I’m a New Zealand Product Designer - I’ve been creating commercial physical products for manufacture since 2017.

I graduated as the Head of School from AUT, and have since worked across a mix of consultancies, in house roles and advanced manufacturing environments.

This had led to an ecletic portfolio of experience across homeware, consumer goods, large-scale public installations, industrial electrical equipment, medical products and agritec.

I’m currently working on the future of outdoor play equipment at Jumpflex in Hamilton, NZ.

In my spare time I sketch people’s SH*T IDEAS.

“Haydn was the lead designer on a startup project that I was involved with. The original design was critical to get 100% as this was the birth of a family of similar projects.

Haydn’s professionalism towards this project and the way in which he dealt with my ever changing requests made working on this project a total pleasure.”

Personally I feel Haydn is one of those rare individuals that ‘has it’. He is thoughtful in his craft and every decision made is calculated, carefully considered and intuitive.

I have worked with some fine craftsmen over the years. Albeit in a different industry but I can recognize Haydn’s level of professionalism and craftsmanship in his field of design.
