AlarmClock: improving fire alarm prevalence and test compliance in the home using sustainable behaviour change.
Alarmclock: an improved user-experience
Alarmclock is a multi-functional product to encourage weekly fire alarm testing through behaviour change and PDLC technology.
Alarmclock: Enjoyable maintenance
User centred product design and packaging have ensured easy installation and maintenance.
Alarmclock: Testing the Alarm
Encouraged weekly testing is enjoyable and satisfying as opposed to unpleasant and inaccessible.
Alarmclock: Scenario
The PDLC technology increases the opacity of the glass every 7th day, prompting the user to test the alarm which simultaneously clears the glass.

I am a motivated and diligent individual who is driven by creating products, services and systems of social value, positive environmental impact and longevity.
Spending my placement year at IBM as a user experience designer on their Blockchain offering has taught me a wealth of skills across the entire design process. Collaborative, insight-driven design has led me to an iterative and social way of working. I have a comprehensive understanding of Design Thinking and experience in large multi-disciplinary teams within a corporate setting. I am familiar with facilitating Hack-days and UX methodology-led workshops across a broad spectrum of industries with a focus on arriving at MVPs levering pioneering technologies. Having kickstarted my career in the software industry, I look forward to expanding my current skill set. I am particularly interested in applying nascent technologies to real-world problems.
