Improving the attitude towards the Cervical Screening Examination.

Portfolio Project:

This information pack would be sent to patients who had received ‘abnormal’ results from their preliminary cervical screening. It provides a friendly tone of voice that could help comfort women who have questions about the next examination- the colposcopy. The pack helps answer questions and provides the opportunity for the patient to have an online conversation with their Health Care Assistant prior to their appointment.







Fridge Application

Portfolio Project:

An application that uses existing RFID technology in fridges to create suggestions and recipes for your dinner based on what you already have in the kitchen. This would solve the daily issue of having to organise dinner time when you get home. The application keeps a constant reference to what is in your fridge so dinner can be decided whilst on the go.







My Ikea - the customer designed IKEA Catalogue.

Portfolio Project:

A sister website which would allow customers to upload photographs showing how they display their IKEA purchases. This would make a strong connection between IKEA and it’s customers, celebrating the individual. The site would provide inspiration for customers and a voting system would enable the most popular photographs to be included in the next edition of the IKEA catalogue.






Libre Culture Manifesto

The manifesto focuses on copyright laws and how they are limiting the creative industry.

The Poppy Factory

For one of my projects I looked into the method of remembrance and how that could updated into the 21st century. My research included a visit to the Poppy Factory in Richmond. This is the only one in England, all the poppies that are sold for remembrance day are made by hand at this factory. A team of 50 people – most of them disabled and ex-Service connected – work all year round. They also make wreaths laid by Her Majesty the Queen and other members of the Royal Family. Find out more on their website which has more information about what they do and visiting the factory. Heres a few photos of my visit.

Harriet Russell

I borrowed her book from a friend, in it she explores the relationship between the letter writer and the postman. Challenging the postman to decipher to address in creative ways. I really like this project as it builds a connection between the two people, who are always divided by the front door. See her website

I went to the Royal Opera House to see Romeo and Juliet as a ballet. It was incredible, and so is the building.




Beauty Pageants

I came across these two photographers whilst researching a project on Beauty Pageants. I like their work because its really kitsch and cute looking but creepy and unnatural at the same time.
The photographers are Colby Katz and Susan Anderson

Tour Bus photos

I am very fond of London and I know it quite well. I've always been interested in how tour buses show off our city to tourists that do not know it. I documented my journey on the bus, looking at the passengers behaviour and how they react to the tourist attractions we passed along the way
