Design Strategy and User Experience
In any design brief that I undertake my purpose lies in the push towards understanding the intricacies and complexities of problems at hand. To achieve this my design process focuses heavily on research, analysis and testing. This speculative process focuses on methods that allows for strategic insight and the conceptualisation of new ways forward.
Check out the various projects I have been involved in and the various ways that I have utilised my process to deconstruct and reimagine the way products, systems and environments are interacted with.

- P - 002 - The Note Archive
- A point of INSPIRATION and a point of ACTIVATION...
A large part of my practice consists of physical note taking to retain information, expand ideas and visualise outcomes. I wanted to educate myself through the exposure to a plethora of people's notes and in depth research to learn new approaches and inevitably expand my note taking abilities.
To do this I gathered notes from around 50 of my peers studying on GCD at Central Saint Martins, University of The Arts London. I then analysed all this material to help expand my understanding of how to effectively take notes. Through this process I had a realisation that instead of just trying educate myself why not use my valuable discoveries to educate anyone who wants to expand their note taking abilities.
INSPIRATION - Through the "Note Showcase" readers are able to explore notes utilising the methods of - Mindmapping, Visual Journeys, Hierarchy, Drawing and Colour. These are the 5 approaches I identified as being the foundation to many successful approaches. However as I mention in the book "There is no definitive approach" we all retain, learn and express ideas in many different ways. The note archive focuses on expanding the individual approach not push a single restrictive one.
ACTIVATION - After the showcase readers are prompted to activate their discoveries through the "Assignments" section of the book where I dissect the methods showcased in simple step by step approaches.
