Useful
Objects and systems are judged by what they let people do more clearly, safely or efficiently.
Product Development / Systems & objects
Useful things, safer systems, better mechanisms.
This page gathers David Jung’s product-development work: industrial objects, casings, airport and medical systems, food-safety mechanisms and current environmental product thinking.
PD
Product-development spine
Product development is where JungDesign turns observation into practical form: the clearer pour, the safer label, the better casing, the more reliable airport process, the mechanism that reduces waste, risk or confusion.
These are not decorative projects. They are working propositions — designed to be made, installed, tested, used, revised and understood.
Buildable
A JungDesign idea has to survive manufacture, installation, cost, handling and repeated use.
Observed
The work begins with close attention to friction: where hands go, what goes wrong, what needs to be legible.
Still active
VPS continues the same line of thinking: a practical mechanism for a specific environmental problem.
Product development
Useful things, safer systems, better mechanisms.
Across product and system work, the pattern is consistent: define the friction, make the use clearer, and develop a response that can be manufactured, installed, trialled or operated.

5 Litre Measuring Jug
A long-lived commercial measuring jug designed around export stackability, raised calibration for readability, and dual-spout pourability for wet and dry contents.
- Problem
- A utilitarian product needed to be easier to read, easier to pour, efficient to ship and robust enough for commercial use.
- Response
- David resolved the object through practical industrial-design decisions: stack form, calibration, handling and pour behaviour.
EYEQue Airport Security System
A proposed AI-enabled front-of-house security system developed after David identified a fault in existing airport terminal security processes.
- Problem
- A front-of-house airport security weakness suggested the need for a smarter, more systematic detection and response model.
- Response
- David briefed Fingermark Global and worked with their technical team over roughly 18 months through development, trials and testing.
Hospital Drug-Bag Labelling System
A quick, accurate labelling system for opened drug bags used in hospital surgical routines, designed to reduce waste and improve legibility.
- Problem
- Once opened, drug bags could lose their original identification. Staff were left handwriting labels and taping them on, creating poor legibility, weak adhesion and unnecessary waste of expensive partially used drugs.
- Response
- David developed a pre-printed label dispensing concept, created the drawings and oversaw manufacture on behalf of the client team.
The Egg Splitter System (TESS)
A system developed to reduce salmonella risk by allowing eggs to move through restaurant handling and processing without staff touching the shell.
- Problem
- In high-volume food service, egg-shell contamination risk is amplified by repetition. McDonald’s Australia alone handled tens of millions of eggs per year.
- Response
- David developed a system enabling eggs to be delivered to and processed through a restaurant without direct shell contact by staff.
Ericsson Phone System Casing
A casing developed for Ericsson’s phone splitter system for high-density, lower-economic regions across the South Pacific.
- Problem
- The system needed to be installable on standard wooden power poles and support one main line feeding multiple sub-lines to local users.
- Response
- David designed the casing around installation practicality, environmental exposure and the infrastructure conditions of suburban communities.
VPS — Vine Pod System
A work-in-progress system for precise, safe delivery of herbicide to pest vines damaging New Zealand native flora and fauna.
- Problem
- Pest vines require effective treatment, but herbicide use brings risks of wastage, environmental fouling and human contact.
- Response
- David developed the Vine Pod concept as a delivery system for predetermined, precise herbicide volumes applied to the vine with minimal waste and reduced operator exposure.
Product development here means practical imagination.
The common thread is not a style. It is a way of thinking: notice the awkward part of a real-world process, then design the object, label, casing, interface or mechanism that makes it less awkward.
That same exactness sits behind the paintings: object intelligence, strong edges, legibility, humour and a designer’s respect for how things are put together.
