After having a positive experience whilst studying the master’s programme I was motivated to continue studying with Loughborough University. My background is in Graphic Design and Visualisation and I developed a good relationship with my supervisor, tutors, and classmates, which promoted a healthy research environment and helped me to achieve a distinction grade. Additionally, it helped me to build up my confidence to study a PhD.
My PhD project is an extension of my work during my master’s where I rethought the design of wayfinding and signage systems from a human-centred method to improve the friendliness in a traditional maternity hospital setting. During my master’s project I developed a research interest from a multicultural perspective into the design of signage in hospitals to better serve people with different backgrounds and languages. This was my preliminary draft for my research proposal.
