Nurturing Imaginative Minds - Childhood Development & Learning Centre
Navigating the unique idiosyncrasies of children with neurodiverse needs are known to provide challenges and hardships for caregivers and families due to increased needs and a lack of support accessible in Australia. For my project, I aim to design a learning environment that focuses on stimulating imaginative play for neurodivergent children to develop their fine motor, cognitive, language and social skills. My target market is families of neurodivergent children aged between 3-6 who seek affordable and effective interventions to improve the quality of life of their unique minds by promoting healthy and happy futures for all children.

Feral Animal Awareness Campaign
The issues with introduced species within Australia have existed since the First Settlers. I have grown up on a farm and have personally experienced these issues. I am creating a garment based on the Australian Magpie. It will be representing the native Australian animal deaths caused by introduced species. I will be making a rib cage corset to represent captivity, a bird skull mask to represent death, and a website that will inform people of these issues.

Snowboard Guard
I have developed a snowboard guard to protect the board from chip damage, a common, problem with snowboards. The increased durability of the steel edge, as well as added top sheet protection, this design was built with the main focus being that it was as unaffecting to the riders experience as possible, resulting in that same felling, with added protection to your board, a win win.I have a vison for this product, hopefully expanding it to a wider range of consumer.

Upcycling denim
Denim contributes to 20% of textile fashion, this is shown in a blog on Make Fashion Better. My project aims to create a garment that minimises the amount of textile waste in landfills by upcycling used denim clothing to create staple garments as a sustainable alternative for, but not limited to, teenagers and young adults. This denim is sourced through donations given for the project.Any suggestions on marketing and communicating my product to my target market (ages 13-25) along with any other ideas would be beneficial.

Eco-friendly Busy Boards to combat destructive dog behaviour
Some dogs struggle with destructive behaviours, caused by anxiety and boredom, having a significant impact on the dog/owner relationship. I aim to prevent destructive dog behaviours by: + creating a Busy Board for Dogs, combining successful dog toys in a user-friendly way + address environmental problems present in the dog toy market through creating an eco-friendly alternative + educate dog owners on the best methods in preventing unwanted behaviours. I need help with sourcing natural dyes/products, connecting with experienced designers of animal products. Silicone is used in some dog products, I need help finding an eco-friendly material that has similar properties.
