BA Furniture & Product Design
I'm most motivated to engage in the design process when there is a problem with an attainable solution. I enjoy when I'm actively hands-on throughout the entire design journey.
Flu-ency
8% of children will have a stammer at one point growing up, most grow out of it but for 1% of people it is persistent for life. Most children with a stammer will not directly say how they are feeling.
Flu-ency aims to show how a stammer can feel as well as induce emotions such as frustration and anxiety. Flu-ency is a tool that speech therapists can use to explain how the child may be feeling rather than relying on just words.
Flu-ency combines both ash timber and colour, giving a playful and fun initial impression while also showing the natural beauty of the ash.
Haken
The modern work environment is changing. Hot-desking is becoming an increasingly popular practice, despite advantages, the consideration for bags storage has been neglected, resulting in bags often being left underneath or around desks, sometimes becoming a safety hazard or becoming damaged. To address this, 'Haken' aims to provide users with the option to hang their bags securely from the edge of the table instead.
Haken is aluminium die-casted and finished with a powder coating, Haken is not only durable and lightweight, but also eco-friendly and recyclable, making it a sustainable choice for environmentally-conscious consumers.
