I am a highly motivated person and passionate about what I do. I am a versatile learner and have had the privilege of being brought up in different countries among different cultures, across the Middle East and South East Asia. This has given me great exposure to diverse environments, lifestyles and cultures strengthening my empathetic skill set, which is vital to be able to understand users’ circumstances, wants and needs. Through my degree, I have been able to further explore the complexities of human experiences and interaction.
I have been fortunate enough to give a speech to the Mayor of Bristol and roughly 200 guests, showcase my projects to leading industry professionals and complete design briefs for clients. My work has been featured in the Sunday Times and a Case Study I wrote has been published. I was also awarded the Santander Scholarship for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
FEATURED PROJECT
AlÜ
Humans are producing, purchasing and using single-use plastic at a rate that is currently unsustainable. 1 million single-use plastic bottles are bought per minute, yet only a minority of these are recycled. Less than 50% of these are collected for recycling and only 7% are turned into new bottles.
Aim: To create a sustainable product that is a viable, feasible and desirable alternative to single-use plastic bottles, in order to reduce the negative impact of single-use plastic.
Solution: AlÜ.
