Project Question
How can Eco-Collective facilitate graphic designers and manufacturers to transform the packaging industry, and build a sustainable community toolkit in the UK?
Aim and Objective
As a solution to target brands that actively participate in greenwashing I am proposing to launch Eco-Collective, the first UK database which promotes sustainable manufacturing practice and procedures. The toolkit is in the form of a website and application, which explores a broad range of topics to aid with the sustainable operations of a business. Eco-Collective has one fundamental purpose: to ensure that graphic designers and manufacturers have accountability surrounding the vital role they have applying sustainable practice.
Final Outcome
5000 word report, prototype website for business launch and 24 weeks research journal.
How has your practice developed while studying the MA in Graphic Design with a global cohort?
I feel as though my boundaries have been pushed for the final time on this course, and I feel at my most confident with graphic design practice than I have ever been. I am still learning but in comparison to when I started the course, it is clear that this MA has refined my skills and expanded my knowledge within the creative industry.

Project Question
How to develop a digital tool to improve workflow and collaboration within agencies & design studios?
Aim and Objective
Aim:
– To enhance the workflow process across agencies and design studios.
Objectives:
– Understanding the creative workflow process
– Investigating the issues & problems faced by designers in terms of daily workflow
Final Outcome
DASHO (The Creative Digital Toolbox) is a hub that collects everything under one interface to be used by different members of the agency to access relevant menu options. This tool is the single solution that embeds all the requirements under one hub via the cloud. Access, collaboration and teamwork could not be easier, anytime and anywhere. It is available as an app & web-based version.
DASHO can be used by all the members of a creative agency and/or design studio including clients (on an invite-basis only).
How has your practice developed while studying the MA in Graphic Design with a global cohort?
While studying the MA in Graphic Design with a global cohort, my practice has developed tremendously. I have learned to research and understand different points of view and learn different forms of design from various cultures and backgrounds. I also have learned to push myself to the limits and challenge myself to experiment and obtain better outcomes.
