About

Tubular Systems Ltd was a company my Dad and I founded. We recognised a market need for dispensing SIM cards to help tourists save on costly roaming charges. Instead of using large vending machines, we developed a modular system that could be conveniently installed on countertops or used as standalone units. Tubular machines were successfully deployed in the UK, France, Turkey, Canada, and Taiwan!

Systems

We developed two versions of the "Tubular System". A Tubular SIM card Dispenser and a Tubular Donation Kiosk.

A Tubular SIM Card Dispenser located in a Vodafone Store.

A Tubular Donation Kiosk located at YHA Ambleside.

A prototype model of a newer Tubular Donation Kiosk with a hand sanitiser dispenser which was present at the United Nation's COP 26 Ice Hub - Innovation for The Circular Economy.

Website and Marketing

I took on a wide range of responsibilities primarily focused on the creative aspects of the business. I played a central role in web development, designing and maintaining the company's website. Additionally, I designed graphics for anything visual that we needed, for example, leaflets, machine wraps, and social media content.

The website was the shop window into the world. This was where I got more involved in having the freedom to work and tweak the WordPress template, and I started to learn how HTML and CSS worked. This was when I first started to learn and study web development!

Even though the company is no longer in operation you can view the last version of the website here: tubular-systems.com

Website Screenshots

Unfortunately, I didn’t save all the complete screenshots. However, I was continuously learning and updating the website. Here are all the designs for the landing page.
