BA Product Design
I'm captivated by the shapes, textures, and colours of objects around me. I view the world as canvas of inspiration, where natural forms often spark new ideas, from the Fluid curves of a leaf to geometric patterns of a building. My inspiration leads me to create visually-stimulating and functional designs.
Fika Flask
Fika Flask aims to address two critical issues at once; the ever-looming contamination of oceans with plastic waste and the growing need for thermal flasks that enable snacking and drinking outdoors. The idea is simple, yet innovative - creating sustainable, durable, and stylish food and drink containers from ocean plastic waste.
The project involves collaborating with different charities and organisations to clean up plastic waste from beaches and other sources, sorting and processing the collected material for repurposing. Next, we will use the recycled ocean plastic to manufacture a range of sustainable, high-quality thermal flasks, which will be made available for sale and donate back to the charities and local communities.
We are working alongside environmental organisations and charities with a shared concern for ocean conservation and plastic pollution. This collaboration will allow us to provide direct support to the affected communities and increase awareness on the urgency to tackle pollution to protect our planet.
The project's main objective is to provide functional and eco-friendly food and drink containers that enable people to enjoy outdoor moments while contributing to a cause that supports the environment. We believe that our ocean plastic thermal flasks will help reduce the consumption of single-use containers and raise awareness in people on the importance of reducing the use of plastics, particularly those that end up in oceans.
In conclusion, Fika Flask is a much-needed initiative that combines environmental and social aspects to tackle issues that are critical to our planet's sustainability.
