Work Experience & Education

Hedgehog Lab (March 2018 – April 2018)

4-week placement at Hedgehog Lab, working as part of a small team on developing an app aimed at storing memories. In the first two weeks, we conducted research through the use of different methods such as surveys, user testing, swim lane diagrams, and looking at the wider ecosystem. In the final two weeks we focused on the look/feel, branding and UI and built an interactive prototype.

In teams of two, we were tasked with creating design concepts which aimed to restore the heritage and history to the Bigg Market in Newcastle. The project was supported with regular meetings and presentations to the client. My project received a special mention and was exhibited pubically at 'Digital Disruption: Human. Digital. Design'.
