Other Work

This was a module designed to encourage cohesive teamwork, while working on an industry brief that simulated a real-world project. We were tasked with finding our ideal team dynamic and then working towards the best possible outcome for the client.

The Brief: How can banks leverage AI, internally to create innovative products and services to improve customer experience, provide cost savings, and manage potential risks associated with this technology?

This is a group and individual project focused on helping a young affluent families with reducing domestic energy consumption and increasing the households engagement with climate action through the use of a mobile app.

The Students Nova Effect – a short film animation for digital storytelling (M.A. module)

This tells the story of ‘The Nova Effect’ and ‘The Chinese Farmer’ from a student’s perspective. The concept is as follows, you do not know if ‘that bad event’ which happened to you actually is bad, because it could potentially lead to good things happening directly or indirectly. A comforting concept that I find very uplifting.
