As a recent First Class honors of a BA in Graphic Design at Kingston University, I have always had a deep passion for learning beyond the face value of a subject. As a child I was always asking, why? to the point my mother tried to satisfy my endless curiosity by buying me a book titled exactly that. My need to understand the world around me followed me into adulthood, ultimately informing my approach to design today. As a designer, I find there is always something to uncover, improve or intervene with.
As an ambitious, hard-working and enthusiastic creative, I am looking for a full-time position that will provide me the opportunity to grow as a designer.
Projects
- The Helping HandsAn RSA brief response to “Agile Ageing” - creating a service to help improve mental agility in the aging population. This project aims to create a solution devised in direct response to scientific findings, and consumer research and feedback. Extreme User Feedback Speaking directly to the elderly - both mobile and active/ and immobile and inactive, I began to gain an understanding of areas society neglects, and where improvements could be made. I drew up 4 key objectives, which the service was created with relation to. Avoiding Assumptions From the key objectives, I along side collaborating designer, Karen Tsang, created an activity subscription service which increases mental agility through increased challenge, learning, and purpose. Each month, an activity linked directly to a charity is sent to the user - allowing them to learn a new skill, whilst also giving them a purpose to help the community. Design for Accessibility The Helping Hands service and interface has been designed with up-most consideration of accessibility with both analogue and digital considerations.
