Hello to all the people being linked through from my lemon-squeezer concept. Traffic has been in the thousands since this project was picked up last week, which makes looking at my stats far more rewarding. I'm happy to notice that IE is a distant third in the browser wars for the site - designers have good taste.

Radiance has been featured in this month's 'The Designer Magazine'. It's only a short piece, but nice none the less. The issue can be read online here.

The show at 100% went very well, with my new demonstration prototype performing admirably throughout. A big thanks Jason and Sarah from [re]design for putting the show together. They've got a couple photos up on flickr if you care to take a gander. There's also a lovely book to go with the show, available here. Radiance was well received much commercial interest, so we'll see where that goes. Thanks also to Ben at Corian for their generous donation of material.

I will be exhibiting my project 'Radiance' at the London Design Festival, in the Lighten Up exhibition, within 100% Design. Please come down and say hello if you're in the area. Stand O80. There's also a great book to go with the show on sustainable lighting. Cheers.

The show went fantastically, with opportunties to speak with many great people. Thanks to all who attended. The book looks great, and I'm so proud to have been a part of it. I am also happy to report that I received a 1st Class (Hons) BSc Industrial Design degree.

It's been a while since I've had a chance to write something here. As a brief recap, uni has finished, and I have been busy working on the Made in Brunel 2008 book, as well as preparing for the show. Looking forward to seeing you there.

An updated CV and portfolio have been put online, detailing much of the work I have done his past year. I would welcome any feedback you may have. I will also be providing minor updates to the website over the coming days. For those that don't know, Martino has a new exhibition called 'Confronting the Chair' at the Design Museum, London. Lots of great work to see, some of which was partially constructed by yours truly.

After a great time with Studio Bednarski, I am now looking for more work. While working there, I helped complete a proposal for a major London bridge to be used as a 'gateway to the Olympics'. We were selected as a finalist, and the proposal is going forward. I was also involved in multiple projects including research into the urban redevelopment of Portobello Road, as well as corporate graphics.

Working on the set up and take down of the Welcome Trust's Travelling Apothecary event in the British Library. Was a wonderful day, with many different stalls set up to cure "Modern-day Ailments", such as 'Ikeamania', network addiction, litter guilt, and having the 'Holy Maria' keep your data safe. Part of the London Design Festival, which kicked off on Saturday. I will also be working at the Super Design Market, which runs from the 23rd to 24th, and promises affordable designs (under £50) from 30 young up and coming British Designers.
