A low-cost, mouldable prosthetic arm designed for agricultural work, featuring a hinge hand joint and quick-disconnect wrist. Affordable and accessible, it supports amputees in low-income countries, promoting independence and return to work opportunities. This product was developed to give access to prosthetics to 25.5 million people in need. It is evaluated to cost $48 for each costumer and would provide significant aid.
COVA
Concept Design
This concept holds a special place in my heart: "What if a prosthetic were showcased at the Met Gala?" It explores the idea of adapting a prosthetic to focus on form over function, a striking juxtaposition to its usual purpose. I've known several people with prosthetics who feel insecure about their appearance, which inspired this idea. I first presented it nearly a year ago at an art gallery in London called Society, where it captivated the audience. I'm currently pursuing to develop this concept in my free time.
A product
that saves lives
This is an SOS beacon designed for cyclists, aimed at enhancing the safety of those riding home at night. Its minimalist design not only reduces production costs but also addresses common issues associated with gyroscope-based systems. Here’s how it works: upon a fall, the cable detachment disconnects a magnet, automatically activating the SOS beacon. This sends an alert to both your emergency contacts and emergency services. This project was developed in collaboration with Brompton.
Food Tray
This 15-week project, developed with university collaboration, created a speculative food tray to make meals cheaper for lower-income parents. It offers a quick, nutritious alternative for parents who prioritise feeding their children better food. Using powdered ingredients, the tray provides essential nutrition while allowing for personal spices, preserving a sense of home-cooking.
