About Gabrielle
As a Mechanical Designer Engineer, I bring three years of hands-on experience in product development, battery mechanical integration, and generative design in the automotive, micro-mobility and medical industries.
My expertise includes:
- Applying generative design principles to create optimised, user-friendly solutions, such as redesigning a knee brace for patients with osteoarthritis, a project which earned the Raymont-Osman Design Prize.
- Developing innovative e-scooter battery systems and sleek motorcycle accessories using various CAD tools for 3D modelling, simulation and FEA to ensure optimal design and performance.
- Prioritising human-centric design in all projects, resulting in products that not only meet safety, efficiency, and effectiveness requirements, but also enhance user experiences.
- Leveraging my comprehensive skill set for design, validation, and optimisation, ensuring products meet the highest standards of quality.
Transforming complex problems into innovative solutions is my forte. I am eager to use my skills, experience, and enthusiasm to bring your projects to life. Together, we can design, innovate, and make a difference, one project at a time!

Education
- MEng Mechanical Engineering with Year in IndustryUniversity of Birmingham2021Dissertation: Redesigning a knee brace for patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis, I utilised Generative Design software to develop a range of optimised, patient-specific solutions. My innovative approach demonstrated the significance different braces can have on patients' quality of life and earned recognition with the Raymont- Osman Design Prize in 2021. These designs were tested using biomechanical force simulations, providing valuable insights into the necessary adaptations individuals must make to maintain an active lifestyle.
