Major HSC work featured in Shape

Material for climbing shoes

Isabella Primrose’s Major Design Project has been selected for the Shape exhibition 2024, which presents a selection of outstanding major projects by HSC Design and Technology, Industrial Technology, and Textiles and Design students in NSW.

"Through her sister's passion for rock climbing and bouldering, Isabella discovered that rock climbing shoes often wear out quickly, creating a financial burden for climbers. Inspired by this, she experimented with neoprene rubber and 3D technology to create a completely new sole that easily attaches to a modified prototype shoe. The sole can be removed and replaced as it wears down, significantly reducing shoe waste and extending the life of the footwear".

Isabella’s innovative and sustainable design stood out for its creativity and functionality. This recognition is a testament to her hard work and talent. Congratulations to Isabella on this incredible achievement!
