I am a recent graduate from Central Saint Martin's MA in Industrial Design, and have been working as freelance designer in both Industrial and Graphic design. I have worked on furniture pieces, sculptural commissions, branding projects and illustrations.
I also sculpt, having worked on historical building facades and portrait busts, and am currently experimenting with ways in which I can incorporate traditional sculptural techniques into furniture design. I have previously worked as a design researcher for Fablab Valletta, as well as a graphic and packaging designer before I shifted into industrial design.
Projects
- Proxemic BenchThis project was designed to define and examine the link between the theories of Proxemics and seating design. This was an attempt to reinterpret an anthropological theory into a design concept. The final piece has now become a permanent piece of the design faculty at the University of Malta.
- Information pyramidThis project was designed as a creative way to display a historical timetable. I wanted the challenge of creating a 3-dimensional piece instead of displaying the timeline across a flat surface. The piece can be displayed in three different ways; closed, opened and upright. It was created by experimenting with different paper designs serving as both a decorative and informative piece.
- Light and PlayThe objective of this project was to attempt to understand play as a fundamental design element, and to then use that understanding in order to create a lighting piece that is engaging and playful. Each of the four rings is activated using a motion sensor, so simply moving one’s hand through the ring triggers the sensor, creating a specific ritual of use. The sensors, however, triggered unexpected responses, with different rings triggering different responses.
- 6XTH Branding ProjectLogo and brand creation for a new furniture company, which uses scaffolding as the base of most of its pieces. Below are the logo, brand guidelines and one of a set of illustrations created for the brand to be used in brochures, instruction booklets etc. The illustration itself is based on creating a whole world out of scaffolding.
