Had the honour of exhibiting my final BA project, AQ, at the 39th edition of New Designers 2024 at the Business Design Centre in Islington. The show brings together over 3,000 emerging designers across disciplines from more than 100 universities in the UK.

My installation featured two wearable AQ prototypes, including a large-scale, battery-powered version that continuously monitored air quality for 8 hours daily throughout the exhibition. The display also included the AQ design booklet, an exploded prototype, interactive acetone and dust vials for hands-on testing, and a live AQ wearable demo running Home Assistant to visualise real-time air quality data.

Our graduate catalogue, Connect, reflects both our cohort’s collaborative diversity and the project’s core intent: encouraging connection, between people, design and their environments.
