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.

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. 

 I am a proud Wiradjuri woman and love storytelling. The kitchen bench; the heart of the house, has become the modern place where women sit and have a chat. I would like to make a connection between my culture and my friends. This will done through a ceramic platter, displaying aboriginal art.
