As a graduate from the Innovation School’s MRes programme, MDes Design Innovation & Service Design and BDes (Hons) Product Design at GSA, I consider myself an innovation designer with research interests in speculative interactions and relationships towards technology that inspire preferable futures.

MRes project: SELF-MANAGEMENT BEYOND THE SELF

This practice-based research project explored how participatory design can help discover the barriers and facilitators of self-management practice for type 1 diabetes. From conducting interactive interviews and a participatory workshop with users of self-management devices, user-centred design principles were established to develop preferable relationships towards digital self-management practice.
