Lens on Practice - Mobilise the Future
Mar 2022 - May 2022
This was my first self initiated design project. The purpose of which allowing the design of something I felt passionate about. I focused on the theme of people using this opportunity to explore what the future of mobility and transportation in relation to sustainability could look like within the areas of collaboration, medium and client. I am interested in the psychology behind what it is that makes people tick, what evokes certain feelings and behaviours in their daily lives, and how I could design to enhance or create a feeling of connection when it comes to this field of design practice. In response to this I produced a body of work which focused on responding to issues relating to infrastructure when it comes to electric personalised mobility where I made and produced a ‘battery pack subscription service’ as well as producing a strategic roadmap to ensure the design was viable and had real meaning to be produced.
LIVE Project - Inn House Brewery
Jan 2021 - Mar 2021
This project began with group led research into the Glasgow based company in which we found the touchpoints of their shopping experience and the specific needs of the customer. We collaborated as a group to recognise what could be improved, such as the digital elements of the company, the shop and location itself as well as being more inclusive to all customers. Then we went onto designing our individual outcomes. Taking an ‘experience design’ approach, I explored various means by which design might build on Inn House’s brand values and strategic business goals to develop touch points that connect to their audience (both existing and new/ desired?) in new ways. At the conclusion of this project I prepared a short film which my designed experience was communicated in the form of an imagined advertisement for Inn House.
Regenerative Futures - Local Health
Oct 2022 - Feb 2023
This is currently a live project which I am still producing a body of work towards, the purpose of which is to produce a future regenerative experience in response to a pre-selected domain of design. Which in my case was to produce a concept which responds to Local Health. The project itself encourages an autonomous creative process, working independently as a group as well as working as an individual designer. It explores a collaborative practice as I have been simutaneously working with my group, with experts in the feild and design professionals to generate sufficient relevant research to come up with a plausible outcome to the brief.
Health & Wellbeing - NHS Ayrshire & Arran
Oct 2021 - Nov 2021
This group project asked the design of a near future service experience that supported the wellbeing of all health and social care staff within NHS Ayrshire & Arran. We worked in close partnership with staff from all areas of NHS A&A to achieve our final outcome. We were introduced to service design within the public sector, co-design as a collaborative approach and invited to adopt a mindset which was research-led, systems thinking-oriented and speculative. As part of our future service experience proposals we delivered tangible touch points which were communicated through person-centred journeys, artefacts and visualisations, as well as a strategic near-future roadmap with milestones that would enable our proposed changes.
Live Data - Polluting the Inside
Dec 2021
Pollution from cars is often recognised as being one of the big contributors to damaging our planet through global warming thanks to harmful CO2 & Nix being emitted into our atmosphere. The effects on us as people driving these emitters is often overlooked, especially for the consequences pollution has on the interior cabins of our cars, in fact studies have shown that pollution travelling into and re-circulating within cars cabins can pose the risk of health effects for children, with cases ranging from asthma to the underdevelopment of their respiratory system. The modified interior elements I propose react and respond in real time to their exposure to pollution travelling into the vehicles cabin. This helps give an accurate representation of pollution exposure to occupants in a vehicle so that they can better understand their risk to health in high polluted situations such as traffic jams and city driving.
