I have recently entered a design competition in the UK called delight in light. The competition features an online vote for the shortlist and then a judging event as part of London Design Week and a first place prize of £1000.

I have just finished the 4 year product design degree in DIT [Dublin Institute of Technology] and the project I entered is a task lamp that I have been working on since it started as a design project in college.

Just a little note of warning to anyone using Drury Street Bike Car Park.. I just witnessed a guy with a bolt cutters trying to get the lock off a bike at lunch time today. Luckily he was disturbed and ran away. Worth noting though that They obviously have their eye on the place.
