I’m a Furniture Design graduate with a strong interest in how design can shape behaviour, wellbeing, and everyday experiences. My interest in Furniture Design began in secondary school during Construction Studies where I designed and built a Puzzle Table. That early experience sparked an appreciation for both the creative and practical sides of making. Since then, I’ve developed an approach that focuses on human-centred design, exploring how materials, form, and spatial relationships influence how people interact with objects and spaces. I enjoy working in a hands-on, iterative way, using model making to test and refine ideas throughout the design process. My aim is to create work that feels intuitive, adaptable, and considered, balancing functionality with a strong sense of form and materiality.
This project explores the design of a modular furniture system for a primary school classroom, with a focus on supporting children with Autism and Sensory Processing Differences. The aim is to create a more flexible and inclusive learning environment that moves away from rigid classroom layouts. The proposal includes a collection of soft, modular elements that can be reconfigured to form different zones for learning, play, and quiet retreat. Using compressed felt as the primary material, the designs prioritise acoustic comfort, tactile engagement, and lightweight construction.
The furniture encourages movement, choice, and independence, allowing children to adapt their environment based on their needs. Rather than separating users, the system is designed to be universally accessible, creating a shared space that feels calm, adaptable, and inclusive for all.
