BA Product Design
Clara Nakisa
Helping others is what drives my design process. Inclusive, practical and sustainable products can improve the quality of many lives which inspires me to create functional solutions to problems. I love carrying out a wide variety of projects across all areas of design to allow me to learn as much as I can for the future.
Vulcan
Due to current volcanic eruptions causing communities to suffer and the constant threat of finite resources running out, I decided to investigate the use of lava rock as a material. Through exploration and research the project developed into discovering how to help volcano locals economically through the use of souvenirs. By allowing any user to create their own products, they have creative freedom with what they will be selling to tourists and the additional benefit of possibly improving mental wellbeing from the distraction. A variety of disability inclusive tools and clear picture instructions are provided in sustainable packaging making the product accessible to all abilities and languages.
