Final year project
A Musical Instrument Security Device That Increasing the Wellbeing of Gigging Musicians
A three way communication system between a smart phone app, guitar stand and the tracker on the instrument. Utilises Bluetooth and radio frequency transmission technologies.
Functional prototype that allows simulation and testing of the security system. Alerts are sent to the App if the guitar leaves a defined area or is removed from the stand.
A brand design project I was assigned during my placement year at a Whisky Broker. See more projects like this on my behance and website.

Meaningful work is what strive for. Creativity is what makes me tick. Connecting to people on an emotional and visceral level is what inspires me the most.
A year spent working as a creative assistant at an established Scotch Whisky broker has allowed me to develop a deeper understanding for business and my design process. Developing and creating brands which have been successfully released in the market. From a young age I have been very entrepreneurial from fixing broken iPhones to filming weddings. Increasing my love for all things creative while figuring out how the world works. This curiosity and pursuit has guided me throughout all my life. Inspired me to start bands, to run websites, to create rum and whisky brands, to get a place at the Loughborough Design School. I am extremely excited for the future.
