i'm a PhD in Design candidate at The Massey University, Wellington, NZ. My current research aims to develop life jackets specific for flood rescue events that allow the wearers' to feel more comfortable and safer and improves their performance.

My previous works include ‘Sensory garments for autistic kids’ and ‘Anti-suicide garments for female prisoners' at the Her Majesty Prison services, Manchester, UK. I also developed a ‘Wearable shelter for Syrian refugees’, as part of my master's thesis. All of my projects have focused on improving the quality of life for people with fit and comfort issues, and special needs through design solutions that combine both function and fashion.
