I am an industrial design student based in North Yorkshire, I am especially interested in UX and sustainable design. Outside of my degree I enjoy team sports and I have been part of netball and handball teams at university.
My recent university projects have focused mainly on sustainability and well-being. My final year project aims to improve confidence and ability for plot-holders on an allotment by providing them with agricultural methods and a supportive app.
