Roseanna Sambles
BA
I’m a product designer with an art driven background and a fascination for how people feel, connect and play with the objects around them. I’m inspired by the people in my life and the everyday moments that spark curiosity. My interests span across all kinds of design, but I’m especially passionate about emotional and purposeful design, creating products that genuinely make people’s lives feel a little lighter, warmer, or more joyful. I love experimenting with form, texture, and material, and I’m always looking for unexpected ways to express ideas through physical objects. Human behaviour fascinates me, particularly how design can shape emotions and experiences, from comfort and confidence to curiosity and delight. As a creative thinker with a year of placement experience, I’m excited to bring my imagination and idea‑making into an industry that values meaningful change. I aim to create designs that not only function well, but leave a lasting impression.
Biscuit Holder
This biscuit holder blends practical display with meaningful storytelling for the charity Half the Story (HTS). The concept integrates interactive and sensory elements. Users pick up a token, place it into the structure and as it travels downward, wheels must be turned. If ignored, the token becomes stuck, symbolising the barriers people experiencing homelessness face and the support HTS provides to overcome them. Sculpted hands support the structure, while separate compartments ensure hygiene and allergy safety. Finished in HTS’s brand colours, this design transforms a familiar food interaction into a visual symbol of care, progress and the challenges the charity helps address.
