Loughborough has changed my mindset from one of design simply being a tool to create physical objects, to design being a way of thinking and a practical methodology for tackling problems on almost any scale.
My greatest achievement is being granted fellowship to the Royal Society of Arts through achieving a commendation in their Student Design Awards competition. My project was a piece of service design which allowed for gig workers to trade their skills for cash-injections from their friends. It works as a replacement to pay-day loans and to fill gaps in the benefits system, allowing gig works to act and remove themselves from the cycle of economic insecurity.
