A little bit about me
I am a Creative Technologist with a Masters Degree in Product Design from the University of Dundee. I enjoy breaking down the user experience to refine the interactions which help to create memorable and meaningful relationships between the user and a product. My passion is utilizing modern technology and combining it with design to create objects that tackle complex social and technical problems. A motivated Exhibit Designer, using Creative technology and Physical Computing to create innovative solutions to human-centred problems.

This website is to act as a small personal portfolio of my most recent works, I have also used my knowledge of HTML and web design/development to code this website from scratch. This currently comprises of work that I have created as part of an exhibit design team in addition to other projects used for my formal education.
I am aiming to create a device that allows the user to engage in more outdoor activities and to be more confident in their own abilities whilst doing so. My goal to create a platform for the user to use to navigate or communicate a location. The idea is that this device would function alongside the traditional methods of location identification like maps and compass, whilst incorporating modern technology where possible.

with the release of the Mandalorian on Disney+, so I thought why not recreate the helmet from my facvourite character Boba Fett. Here I created a full sized helmet in solidworks, then I sliced it into smaller files that I could print on my smaller sized 3D printing bed. Then I sanded and filled the creveses with wood filler before sanding several times increacing the grit of the sanpaper each time. Before applying several coats of paint
Our project aims to raise awareness of the issues surrounding restitution - the restoration of something lost or stolen to its proper owner. Our project takes a sideways look at museums in the 21st century, to question whether objects acquired via colonisation should be returned to their rightful owners, or remain in foreign institutions.
This was a Group Project that I worked on the digetal aespect of, I helped in the construction of the Video, aswell as created the cad files for the 3d Printing - counter top - piece aswell as statues housed within the drawers/cupboards. However my most important task was working on the electronics which comprised on lighting the sections with an LED when the magnet on the counter passes the reed switch points whilst also lighting up the corrisponding drawer I also incorporated electronics withing a final cupboard where and audio file would play discussing the implications that the future holds regarding the restitution of historical archefacts.
