In.Form
As part of the ‘In.form‘ we designed an animation running parallel to our brand values and ‘Why’ things need to change.
Design Process Dismantling Existing Products. Time lines of Everyday Objects: History, usage, parts and existing products. Workshop 1: Simple/Complex, Emotional attachment, Customer loyalty and Materials. Workshop 2: Cool/Price wall, customer profiles. Northumberland Street & Online surveys: Product longevity, end of life and purchase decisions. Ideation Modelling Prototyping
The induction heating system allows the vessels to be non-electrical items. The ceramic design permits the kettle to be heated on a regular hob.
The modular design of the toaster provides the users with an easily accessible and repairable system.
The form of both vessels act as an visual indicator for water level. The same recess on the toaster acts as a handle when removing crumbs.

NHS Live Project Anxiety and Distraction Designing a Mobile Chemotherapy unit with York NHS focussing on Anxiety and Distraction.
Insig
Patients want to have knowledge about the entire chemotherapy process.
Some patients feel lost in the system and can feel insignificant.
ghts
Patients feel more relaxed in a familiar environment.
Listening to supportive things from friends or family patients feel less anxious.
Familiarity Offering a visual itinerary of the chemotherapy process and setting up an online community with local meet ups arranged with local patients and nurses.
Audio Relaxation Provide the Patient with a collection of Audio samples of loved ones reassuring them allowing them to prevent anxiety when they are on their own, thus in turn reducing anxiety for loved ones that can’t always be there.
Welcome Pack Our welcome pack has been specifically designed for a more personal relationship between patients and the staff. We wanted to create something that will make the patient feel like an individual and to ease their anxiety associated with Chemotherapy.
It’s the Little Things A series of personalised items, influencing the patients to feel important and create a more personal relationship with other patients and the faculty.
Personal Development Rekindling an old hobby or starting a new one can act as a distraction method for the patients, providing them with an activity that they can get involved in and focus on, thus reducing anxiety and providing vital talking points between patients and staff, creating a better, more personal relationship.
