Product Design Portfolio
Multi Award Winning Designer
I am currently a 2nd year BSc Product Design student at Nottingham Trent University (NTU). During my 1st year at NTU, I won two Gold Awards for my University design projects and a Global Certificate of Recognition. The first was from IOM3 in their annual national Starpack competition winning Gold and Sponsor Award for my product Ernaere (infinitely recyclable packaging for self-care products). The second from Hydro, an aluminium extrusion facility, winning Gold for an extruded bicycle wall mount design.
Having always been intrigued by design and the functionality of products from a very young age, my design ethos is to make others’ daily lives easier and more comfortable. I enjoy learning new skills, improving existing skills and am always willing to try new things as well as sharing my knowledge with others and collaborating.
I thrive working as part of a team and I am a high achiever with strong leadership and communication skills from both the academic background and in extra curricular activities such as hockey where I have represented my country at international level for 5 years.

The gaming controller designed for gaming with Multiple Sclerosis with included TENS therapy for pain management
Individual Project 4 Weeks
“Stimulate your inner gamer”
With poor dexterity, the user will not be able to actuate buttons or lift and rotate a controller therefore, using influences such as ergonomic mouses is a good place to start
Advancements in new technology such as electromyography and electroencephalography allow inputs without pressing physical buttons which could be utilised by somebody with MS.
With people of all abilities participating at competitive levels, having a controller that allows you to compete at high levels gives you a level playing field when competing against non MS sufferers.
Doesn’t have a suitable way to game during relapsing stage of MS.
Relapsing stage results in being bed bound and can’t go to therapy.
Organic form to allow for reduced strain
Thinks there is no future for gaming career causing low self esteem. Thinks there is possibility of becoming pro if the right controller was made.
Dexterity testing
Games when possible but suffers during relapsing stage.
Avoids conversation about condition
Frustrated - due to fear of missing out.
Left out - during relapsing stage due to being unable to game or see friends.
Testing for size and scale using a range of hand sizes
Constantly trying to improve gaming experience and skills when possible
Goes to therapy when able enough
Lonely - this is one of the users main social interactions during relapsing stage.
Unsure - future of gaming as will fall behind if relapse becomes worse.
Increased palm support
Final model with grip and added weight for testing
Electromyography/TENS arm pad
Nerv Gaming Controller
400mAh Battery
Wireless Charging Pad
Upper Shell - ABS MI IM B-3 Semi Gloss

“Have a brewtiful day”
Successful on-boarding creates a welcoming and safe environment.
Creating a positive and welcoming environment
12 months
Average staff retention in hospitality is 12 months.
Neutral and warm colours
Increased cost for hiring and training costing the sector £275 million per year.

Employee of the month to boost employee moral
BrewBot Customisation
App Icon
Distinct and recognisable thumbnail with the Thinkbrew logo.
Login Page
Simple and clean landing page with a quote or pun to make work more enjoyable
“Think” is represented by the head and “Brew” through the coffee bean.
An AI tool that can answer questions and redirects to the solution.
Although branded for a cafe, the wire frame can be used for any business.
Rewards Scheme
Distinct and recognisable thumbnail with the Thinkbrew logo.
Dashboard
Infographics allow user to immediately understand the button before reading caption.
Visual “money jar” to indicate to employees weeks wages to allow for better budgeting.
Drink instructions and visuals to avoid employee being unsure of recipe or how to make a drink.
Rewards scheme to encourage employees and create a competitive but friendly environment.
Redeem Rewards
Employees are rewarded for their good work in the form of drinks/food.
Cup League
Creates a healthy and competitive environment to boost moral and work ethic.
To design a robot that aids farmers in streamlining their soil sampling process as well as improving their time management, reducing the cost and reducing the risk of injury from repetitive movements.
Group Project
18 Weeks
“GPS Reiable Automated Soil Sampler”
With workers bending down repetitively to take samples in the field is a common health and safety concern
Streamlining the process will reduce the time farmers spend sampling soil allowing them to focus on other tasks on the farm
£Reducing the cost to train workers and the skilled labour would allow for soil sampling to be more accessible to smaller farms
Qualified soil tester drives to the sampling point
Sampling grid is generated
Tester uses auger to take a sample of the soil
Repetitive action of reaching down is major health and safety concern to SOYL
Process is simplified and allows farmer to focus on other jobs
Samples are sent to lab and nutrient map is created from results and sent to farmer.
Farmer maps field boundary with GPS
Farmer receives robot from contractor and drives robot to field
Robot connects to GPS and begins sample route autonomously.
Automated Jounery - 4 days
Process is very laborious and time consuming for farmer
Current User Journey - 2+ weeks
Sampling is bagged and referenced accordingly to the sample location
Samples and equipment is stored for tester to drive to the next sampling point
Nutrient map is generated from the lab results and sent to the farmer
Map can be uploaded to the appropriate farming equipment
Samples are sent of to a lab to be tester for levels of Phosphorus, Nitrogen and Potassium

Accurately collects soil cores from a set of sampling points.
Stores the samples taken allowing up to 12 hectares to be sampled in one go.
Using Arduino, the G.R.A.S.S. robot was coded allowing it to navigate fields, take soil samples and store sample.

Ultrasonic sensor
Reduces the likelihood of damage by re-routing around obstructions.
Through trial and error, circuits were tested individually before being combined and soldered into one

Drivetrain
Trampa wheel/motor assembly powers the robot across the varying terrain.
Easily transfers location data to and from the robot with your mobile device via bluetooth.
Servo Motors
Accurately control the rotation of Sample Bay alongside the Linear actuation of the probe.
Communicates to the robot the precise location the sample point and where the robot is located in the field.
