By way of introduction, my name is David Gatfield. I am a student from Massey University, Wellington, New Zealand.
I am in my final year of studying Industrial Design (BDes) and my major topic that I am researching into is ‘Backpacks for the extreme adventurer’.
This involves backpacks that are used for sports or recreational activities such as mountain expeditions, rock climbing, trekking, etc or multiple disciplinary events such as ‘The Great Southern Traverse’.
My aim is to explore this area and look for opportunities to develop an innovative product that will help enhance the performance of the end user (you).
