About me

My interests lie within the realms of exploring innovative design methods to make new products that contribute towards a sustainable future. Whilst studying at Plymouth University, I realised that I had a real passion for designing products that can be made more efficiently (fewer materials, packaging, and effort.) Being a product designer has given me the power to identify and come up with design solutions for the everyday problems we all face. I make a conscious effort to challenge common issues, knowing that technology is also improving every second. The notion that the technological products we use can profoundly affect our lives intrigues me and pushes me towards improved sustainable design thinking.
