- The Collective-Eat ProjectThe Concept The Collective Eat Project is a collection of three interventions that facilitate social connections through food and interaction. Accompanied by experimental and seasonal menus, strangers engage in unique experiences together for conversation opportunities. The Research Numerous design research methods were applied to explore food’s role in social situations. As the project was user-centred, body storming, prototypes and more were explored. Surveys and interviews provided a base
- Aberlour Whisky - PackagingPackaging designed for Aberlour's distillery bottles with inspiration from Dundee's V&A Scottish museum. Taking the stained glass from 'The Oak Room', the packaging is a blend between traditional and modern materials, using Oak veneer, Acrylic, Copper paint and exposed MDF, all with consideration for mass production. Going to the Aberlour Distillery helped keep the project in line with the whisky brand and provided exciting first-hand research.
- Genre SpeakerSecond Year Speaker Project that provided introduction into wiring. The Genre Speaker was a concept that would use RFID chips in everyday objects to chose the genre of music you listen to. A coffee cup tapped on top could play wake-up jazz, a water bottle could play gym techno, and a makeup brush could play pop music. The idea would allow for the user to connect their playlists to different objects.

Station ManagerDundee University Student Association
- Dundee, United KingdomPart Time
I was the Manager of Dundee University’s student radio, which was a volunteer position. Here, I helped continue to make radio relevant for students, managing a team of over 70, as well as coordinating events which raised £2000 for charity. Social media and marketing was a large part of the role, teaching me valuable skills in both. This was a position which really helped me form myself as a professional. Working with a large team, meeting deadlines, emails and workshops, all while attending my studies was a challenge, but not one that wasn’t rewarded, as I gained experience I would find hard to get elsewhere.
