Positivi-tea
Life is hard, and many things make us anxious, but located in Dundee Slessor Gardens is a shining Pod of Positivi-tea. With its soft light working as a beacon, inviting anyone who needs it, to enjoy a calming cuppa with some good news. The routine of preparing and drinking a cuppa has been shown to decrease anxiety. The pod has been designed to feel like a familiar yet interesting space, to achieve that almost everything has been made from paper. The mundane materiality and familiar textures emphasise the already soothing surroundings.

Flow
Flow is a smart speaker aimed at musical theatre students and their instructors. Flow was designed and developed around various insights I gained as part of an ethnography research task. Included in the smart speaker is a removable and wearable component, this eliminates disruption to rehearsals as the speaker can be controlled by the wearable component allowing both the instructor and students to rehearse freely. An LED light fixture will also be present in the speaker in order to help the students keep in time to the music that is playing.
