Voyage to the High Frontier

Photon sail space craft to transport small communities around the solar system. The vehicle will provide a platform to observe natural wonders, educate and promote creativity.  

My work centres around hand sketching as it’s a perfect tool to iterate at the most basic level. I am fascinated by geometry and enjoy using bold colours to highlight forms. The strongest influences for my designs are Architecture & Science Fiction.

My future plan is to pursue a career as an Automotive Interior Designer. The field is broad and versatile with lots of potential for new ideas. It’s great to see the industry expanding and I am eager to find out how Architecture and Industrial Design can inform our thinking on interiors for the future.

In 2019, I had the opportunity to intern alongside the Interior Design team at Porsche. During the internship, I was able to see the potential Automotive Interiors offer for experimentation and this gave me a clear career to aspire towards. After graduating from Coventry, I would like to continue education as a master’s student and further develop my design thinking.
