Projects

• Oh, Risotto!Oh, Risotto! is a market stall that I started with my boyfriend which offers a selection of traditional Italian arancini; hand rolled, deep-fried risotto balls. The business began in early 2016, and grew quickly with our smart branding and our delicious product would often sell out at markets. Due to our relocation to London we have recently sold the business.
• Wedding PhotographySince late 2013, while completing my masters degree, I have run my own photography business in Durban, South Africa, specialising in weddings and lifestyle photography. In the very few years I have been shooting, my bookings have increased to over 30 a year, including several international weddings; (Zimbabwe, Australia, US, Costa Rica and Angola). Managing a business and being able to fulfil my passion for photography has been a delightful challenge and wonderful experience.
• The Warwick ReportThis research report aims to showcase how and why human-centred design was implemented in the development of informal traders in Warwick Junction and hopes to contribute to the sparse research on how Design Thinking is being used in development, and what lessons might be learnt for future attempts.
