Description
” Educating from a creative point of view.

I have created a Teaching Aid pack to inspire and uplift the youth of our time.
As part of the process of creating, I frequently explore my ancestral history for themes and inspiration with satisfying results and I wish to share this experience with a wider audience.
As our communities become more diverse, the children seem to have lost a part of their Identity, legacy and heritage.
The pack aims to create a sense of self worth, self belief and self confidence with
the aid of Afro-centric history as a starting point.
I hope the user can enjoy a creative experience and also complete the
project with an awareness of themselves and their environment.

Like my contemporaries; I am willing to enhance new ideas, materials, methodologies and processes to achieve the appropriate outcome. I have recently developed an awareness of technology involving traditional and modern day design and I have a desire to combine these disciplines through my work.
I aim to develop new materials through the recycling of everyday products, to extend the potential and life of these common materials.” :the link eg
