Tutoring Assistant
As a mentor, I leveraged my knowledge and skills to guide students in generating ideas and developing their final year projects. I assisted several students in realising their creative potential by offering advice and information on research and methods. My expertise in concept building, idea generation, theory work, and practical advice proved particularly helpful in these areas.
Education
Goldsmiths 2018-2021
BA Design
During my time at Goldsmiths, I explored various methods and processes while also serving as the second-year representative for my cohort. For my final year project, I developed a new design approach called Friendly architecture, which addressed the issue of hostile architecture. I created 3D animations, original CAD drawings, and publications, while also building a full-scale 3D model to showcase one of my designs Promoting Friendly architecture.
University for the Creative Arts 2015 - 2017
Foundation in Art and Design
At UCA, I honed my design skills and tackled extensive and complex projects. My process involved in-depth research followed by innovative application of art and design to present the topics in new and original ways. For instance, I explored dyslexia and its impact on individuals through my personal experience and research. The resulting project was displayed at a university exhibition, and I later delivered lectures to new design students at UCA.
