I am an ambitious designer, open to any challenge that offers the opportunity to create an innovative solution. Throughout my final year, I have endeavoured to assist people with their personal challenges through the power of design.
GET HOOKED
GET HOOKED is a system that encourages the young generation of anglers to continue fishing through competitive aspects, further improving their mental health. Designing an attachment that fits to all landing nets, which can take the weighing data and convert it into points for a local leader board. Fishing is proven to reduce the cortisol level in your brain up to 3 weeks after your most recent trip, Increasing the attendance of the hobby brings serious mental health benefits. The GET HOOKED attachment and application provides competitive, educational and social aspects to classic fishing.
BREATHE EASY
The BREATHE EASY is a ergonomic inhaler designed to help people who suffer from Osteoarthritis. Utalising curved forms and internal engineering, making the expirience of gaining the dosage as easy as possible.
The direction was inspired by my Grandmother who struggles to get her subutamol dosage due to the rigid form of the classic inhaler. Creating a product that feels like it was made for her was the aim. Through eganomic features and CAM mechansims the BREATHE EASY was created.
