Bio
The idea that everything in our world has been
specifically designed to fit a purpose intrigues me, especially as the subtleties in design often go unnoticed. User Centred Design is a factor that I have always found inspiring and is evident throughout my work.

Final Year Project
Straight Up
Posture has become increasingly relevant in working environments. The nature of posture enhancement is an uncomfortable process which has seen a lack of success from posture enhancement products. Introducing a more personal approach to the problem could see success levels rise.
‘Straight up’ gives the process of posture correction an element of personalisation through gradual increments. The product can be strapped to the back of any chair, adjusting the height and shoulder panel accordingly. Once wearing the straps they can be gradually adjusted to enhance posture.
