Education
-
Media Production BA (2020 - 2023) University of Sussex
My degree allowed me to develop a deep understanding of digital design and how technology impacts our everyday lives. I worked on a wide range of media practices from photography to interactive design, acquiring the skills necessary for various mediums and softwares. An assignment that stood out to me was an interactive UX and UI design project in which I used Adobe XD to create a prototype interactive installation. This project has enabled me to hone my technical and problem-solving skills in UI design and help me gain a deeper understanding of design thinking. With the increase of companies relying on apps and websites, I realised the importance of user-centred design principles and I have gained a compelling interest in improving user experience through inclusivity, accessibility and responsive design. Other relevant creative projects that I enjoyed includes a group curated documentary and a multi-page editorial.
