About me

Hi I'm Raisa! A Human-centred designer of sorts, I studied the built environment before moving to digital spaces. I'm an aspiring product designer, hoping to build meaningful products, platforms and services accessible to all.

Projects

• IllustrationsBelow are a few Illustrations I've made to accompany my architecture projects to assist with narrative.
• Short FilmsHere are a few short films I've made for my Architecture projects as part of my site analysis. Interviewing locals and documenting the scene was a great way to find genuine issues that I could solve and heavily shaped my design briefs and projects to be community-focused.
