She/her
BA
I have always been a creative person, which started with a love for textiles and developed into a love of product design. I strongly believe sustainability should not be a second thought in design, but a primary one and with the fast consumption culture we live in today, products should be made to last. My user centred approach is vital for creating long-lasting products, this is combined with my strong passion in evoking emotion through design and a strong attention to detail. I am especially eager to absorb knowledge and become part of today’s creative industry.

Calming Study Pull Out Cover
The Calming Study Pull Out Cover is a portable space for children in a classroom setting. They can regulate emotions, complete learning activities, or have some time to themselves in a busy environment. The frame can be attached at any height, making the cover accessible for all years. When not in use, the fabric can be removed, and the frame pushed up and out the way. Different coloured or patterned fabrics can be added to the frame, allowing it to fit in more seamlessly with a school environment and make certain children feel more welcome within the space. This low-cost space is perfect for schools which do not have a third space and cannot afford to build a new room or give one up.
