Projects
  • Sprout App Design
    Sprout App DesignFor my final major project at university, we were asked to think about our themes in question form. My theme being ‘growth’, I was asked to consider how we can design a tool to measure this. Steering away from the typical forms of recording growth, such has weight or height, I decided to look into how we can record personal growth and development through technology. The Application ‘Sprout’ was designed to record your personal growth through your own virtual garden. Achievements are laid out
  • The Big Wide World
    The Big Wide WorldAs a designer I love to use simple illustration and skething as a way to visualise my designs. This piece however utulised this simplicity and created a unique style for a short animated film. ? The story portrays a young girl and her ambition. Whilst Ambition remains by her side, she never has to explore the rest of the world, knowing that he is all she would ever need. So, wanting her to have a better experience of life, he leaves her to wander in the world alone for a while to grow and change. By the time they meet again both Girl and Ambition are different and no longer rely on each other to live in the big wideness of the world. ? The piece allowed me to use my love of both creative writing and illustration, to create a sketchy, atmospheric, animation. ? Original music written and produced by Simon Allum.
  • Gravity
    GravityAs a personal project, I took on a brief designed by NASA , focusing on the utilisation of smart watches in space, for astronauts working for long periods of time out of the atmosphere. The Brief called for a platform in which astronauts could access their daily tasks as well as completing personal checks to manage their well being. In response to this I created ‘Gravity’. A smart watch platform which enables astronauts to record messages, store photos and write reminders, as well as receiving and storing images and voice recordings from family and friends back on earth. The application was created to allow astronauts to be grounded, even when they are far from home. This allows them to remain human in a high tech environment, like the conditions they will be working in every day.
