About —

Henry Caird is an industrial designer and founder of the home goods brand — Oddthing. Alongside developing his own products, he takes on select projects for clients.

With over a decade of experience in product design and development, Henry has worked with a wide range of businesses — from early-stage startups to established companies. His projects span everything from mass-produced consumer goods manufactured overseas to bespoke pieces made locally in New Zealand. Henry’s design approach centres on simplification, while never losing sight of character, user experience, or product lifespan.

He also provides 3D rendering services to help online stores with marketing and sales — effectively communicating material finishes, colours, and configurations.
