Helping Hand - Door opening/closing assister
This product is designed to assist short-statured individuals, such as individuals with dwarfism and diastrophic dysplasia, with opening and closing doors. The product will attach to door knobs and door handles and allow short-statured individuals to easily reach and access doors. The product will be portable and will be able to be easily moved to take to new locations with unreachable doors.

Road Fog Remover/Capture: Driving Hazards
A lack of visibility on the road when driving is a serious road hazard for all drivers, leading to accidents and deaths globally. Current safety measures on cars include fog lights, driving slower, etc, but are all reliant on the driver's reaction time, not addressing the issue. My idea is to implement a device that uses renewable energy to self-power and remove/capture the fog to clear the air. These images are potential ideas of what it would look like, incorporating different renewable energy systems and looks.

ShowerSense - The future of water conservation
This project is designed to be a cheaper alternative to pre-existing  solutions, aiming to be both cheaper and easier to install. Solutions such as desalination plants are extremely expensive to run. so this project is aimed to be a easy solution to this issue, directly targeting the consumer to help them subconsciously alter their bad habits into positive habits.

Multifuncional & Sustainable Modular Duffle-Backpack
My project reimagines the everyday school and gym bag through a sustainable, multifunctional design. Designed for students aged 15–25, it transforms seamlessly from a backpack to a duffle, while reducing waste by incorporating recycled textiles and repurposed materials from old bags. The design focuses on durability, comfort, and organisation, supported by targeted research, user feedback, and hands-on experimentation. More than just a bag, this project responds to real user needs and growing demand for eco-conscious products. It aims to prove that sustainability and style can coexist, and that thoughtful design can make everyday routines simpler, smarter, and more responsible.

Jewellery for Insect Conservation
Dragonfly and beetle conservation is critically underrepresented in both media and conservation initiatives, even as their populations decline at alarming rates. As they are bioindicators, these insects reflect the health of entire ecosystems, yet they receive only a fraction of the attention and funding directed towards more popular species. My goal is to address this by raising awareness and generating support for insect conservation through a range of handcrafted metal, acrylic, and wooden jewellery inspired by dragonflies and beetles. I am looking for supporters with experience in innovative, sustainable materials and production methods.
