During my placement year, I worked on Morph Cycles full time which was hugely beneficial to my studies, as it both substantiated and added to my knowledge from first and second year. I continued to work on Morph Cycles during my final year which definitely took up a lot of my time and was hard to balance with my studies – but I think I managed to strike a good balance and kept both running, with success in each.

It was about 18 months - at least 1,000 hours of work, between starting work on the project and having the prototype frame in my hands. It was extremely fulfilling to have such a large body of work come to a head like that, resulting in a tangible, physical product and riding it for the first time was amazing.
