As a student who is constantly experimenting and evolving, all types of design interest me, although I am particularly drawn to using visual communication as a way of promoting a better future for the world.

Oasen

RSA Competition – In Your Skin Brief

“How might we increase the skin confidence of every young person to enable their unique identity to flourish?”

Group Project with Julia Barbagallo

Positive self-esteem is a challenge for many young neurodivergent individuals. Perceptions of neurodivergence are largely negative. The sensory differences those with autism and ADHD face impact their skin and comfort. From textual aversions towards certain skincare products, to sensory overwhelm during in-store experiences, neurodivergent sensory differences are overlooked.

Oasen is a skincare brand designed to cater to those with sensory differences, offering sensory-safe products and an accommodating in-store experience that creates an environment to foster confidence and skin health.

Zophos – The Drosoulites

Pearlfisher Fresh Pearls Competition Brief

“How can we unlock rarity as a journey into the extraordinary?”

Zophos provides the world’s rarest natural ghost experience, a chance to see the drosoulites of Crete. The drosoulites are a naturally occurring ghost army in Sfakia, Crete. The fallen rebels killed during the Greek War of Independence in a battle around Frangokastello Castle are said to haunt the area. Around the anniversary of the battle, these soldiers appear shrouded in shadow and march towards the castle only during moist, calm conditions at dawn.

Zophos invites travellers on a transformative expedition to the haunted coastline of Sfakia, blurring the lines between reality and legend. From exploring forgotten ruins, to an innovative augmented reality experience, Zophos offers an unforgettable fusion of culture, excitement, and the supernatural, setting a new standard for travellers.
