3D MODEL HOUSE

About

I worked on a 3D model of a house for a client in southern Italy, which helped them visualize the final result and complete the building process. This is just one example of my diverse skill set as a designer, which includes working on 3D models, logos, and more.

Title: Examining the potential of speculative design as a tool to uncover through artefacts pathways towards a sustainable society

The Purpose

My interest in using speculative design was to raise awareness of unsustainable practices and provoke a response. Instead of solving the problem, my dissertation focused on utilizing speculative design to evoke a reaction and bring attention to a specific matter.

The Solution

Prototyping a game to encourage thinking kids aged 6 to 9 around sustainable practices.

“Making the invisible visible” aims to use a realistic yet provocative prototype to raise awareness among children. The prototype allows children to see the invisible aspect of food waste, helping them understand the need for sustainable practices.

What?

This speculative design project uses a fun and interactive approach to teach kids about sustainable food practices, making learning more engaging.

Who?

To promote awareness of food waste, I targeted children aged six to nine in my artifact, hoping to instill sustainable behavior from a young age.

Why ?

This game is designed for a specific age group because research shows that they learn quickly and are mature enough to understand unsustainable practices. Today’s children will shape our future, and this game provides them with the necessary tools to create a better tomorrow.

USER PERSONA 2

As a designer, I question how much I can contribute to this awakening. After all, recognizing a problem is the first step towards finding a solution. Without awareness, nothing will change. Therefore, a provocation might help create the necessary mindset shift.

My portfolio showcases diverse projects and personal growth in design. Lancaster University’s Design BA program and my experience as a freelancer and graphic designer have strengthened my skills. I use design to create a better future through aesthetic, logical, and sustainable solutions. Seeking new opportunities for growth, I’m always prepared to tackle challenges and transform complex issues into successful designs. My ultimate goal is to leverage design to effect positive change, facilitating innovation and empowering individuals to thrive.
