Food on the go Enjoy your break, lunch, less waste

The project started as a research internship for Happen, a London based innovation agency, focusing on eating habits during lunchtime in London and comparing it to other countries. Furthermore I was interested in investigating if packaging influenced our choice of food. During my research I have observed the enormous amount of food packaging waste produced after lunchtime in the central London. As a result I was keen to improve lunchtime habits and reduce foodpackaging waste. The investigation started by looking at the situations that encourage people to eat food-on-thego and the relationship that people have with food in different circumstances e.g. at the office, breakfast, on the way home from school.

Also where is the food eaten, at the desk or park? Is packaging waste a concern when selecting food-on-the-go? My final project is targeting office workers and suggesting inspiring changes to their lunchtime eating habits and also designing a solution to reduce waste. Balance speed and convenience with health and freshness. Linking up with People’s Supermarket, who expressed an interest in my project, the focus of the service was to help their customers to be even more responsible in their shopping habits. The service concept is to introduce re-usable lunch boxes for ‘The People’s Supermarket’ to encourage customers to bring their packaging back to the store.

Testing and feedback

Kate Bull CEO of The People’s Supermarket

Testing session at The People’s Supermarket. Customers gave feedback on the service and also different lunch boxes they were testing. It was very important step to design the perfect lunch box for The People’s Supermarket.

I am really pleased and amazed by the response that we have received from the project on re-usable lunch boxes. I think it’s a great step forward for us because it will reduce waste going to landfill and it will also reduce packaging cost. We had a great deal of interaction with customers and I gave us another point of difference that moves us away from the traditional supermarket into a better place- a supermarket of the future and that's where we want to be.

The general tone of the feedback received is that the service has a lot of potential and the goal of changing consumer behaviour could be accomplished.

Designing Public Sector -Enabling fathers to play a greater role in childcare

Collaboration with Think PublicSocial Design Agency from London. Using creative and innovative design- based approaches to help the public sector innovate and improve their services, and address social issues. In this research I used co-design approach to identify opportunities for volunteering experiences in a childcare and early years setting. This involved mapping “typical” volunteer user journeys in order to identify and shortlist a range of innovative potential volunteering opportunities that would benefit day care centres, volunteers and the wider community. Also interviewing fathers, mother and Day Care setting to understand what are their needs and identified opportunity areas.

MAIN GOAL:

RESEARCH GOAL:

• to understand how parents, especially fathers could be more involved in childcare and Day care setting • to create a prototype service/ experience that excites and engages fathers to get involved • to design an engaging volunteering service/experience that can be scaled across the UK and is capable of increasing volunteering in an early years and day care settings. Focus on parents from disadvantaged backgrounds.

• to identify opportunities for volunteer experiences in childcare that would benefit day care centres, volunteers, children and the wider community.

Box & Rox

Box and Rox is a way of keeping balance between physical exercise and stationary activity. Rox & Box is under the control of the parent. The idea of Box and Rox is for the child to collect bonus points through physical exercise in order to trade them for computer or television time. The 5 till 9 years old children would be given an activity monitor, which is suggested to be worn as a bracelet with a motion sensor inside. Also, Box and Rox consist of an energy transformer box, translating activity to stationary time.

Solution: Technology could be used to encourage children to stay fit and healthy Children could incorporate activity to their virtual game playing.

The Local Library: The University of The Street Corner

Peckham Library Group Project The team has worked closely together to identify current issues in and around the library. We were up to date with information on local issues affecting the performance of the library and community. We were actively working on ideas to solve these issues long term by visualising the future and bringing the community and the library together. Our research took us outside the library, we engaged ourselves with the local community and started listening to what people really thought and wanted from their library. Then we started seeing the library in a different light and instead of being a public space run by the council it was more about being part of the community.

Taking good care of our clothes- eco laundry service

How to take good care of our clothes and make it last longer? Main problems identified during the research: • The carboon footprint of a load of laundry in the UK is 3.3 kg CO2! • Users don’t check wash care labels or don’t understand the meaning of it. • Over washing or too high washing temp, it damages the clothes and waste a lot of energy. • Users need some washing or stains removing tips. How to raise awareness and extend the life cycle of clothes? The goal of Eco Laundry Service is to improve washing habits and give a user some green washing tips. The benefit could be also the environment: saving energy, water and reduce clothes waste.
