This matchbox packaging aims to provide a solution to the problem of domestic fires caused by children. Inspired by vintage matchbox packaging, the design integrates illustration and product design. The additional internal layer of the matchbox design makes it more complex to open therefore limiting a child’s ability to access the matches, and is reversible, showing a normal window scene on one side, or an inferno pattern on the reverse, through the cut-out windows of the outer sleeve. It sends a message of the dangers of matches and how quickly they can escalate and wreak havoc on your home.

This Project is a celebration of Fungal life & Mycelium.

Merlin Sheldrake, a biologist, mycologist and author, suggests we should celebrate Fungi the same way as Plant and animal life as mycology is a neglected Mega science. If we harness this microbial world, it can be a useful alliance to adapt to a damaged planet and re examine our bad habits. I want to make people think of fungi in a new way and show off what this clever organism can do.

Spoken language is a broad yet interesting subject. But our hands are also a big contributor to communication.

Hands contribute to expressions. A great population of the world communicate through sign language. Our gestures could communicate something pleasant or something crude. It could be universally understood, or it could be locally understood. Our gestures could make a whole language.

Our hands have the ability to make our day to day talks more interesting.

To my future loved ones, is a time capsule containing two publications, two posters and a set of resin artifacts. The projects aim is to help people comprehend the impact that our current decisions will have on the long term. Many of us find it hard to imagine past the time that we are on this planet, and this is an issue. The project puts this into perspective by showing how your actions now could mean your children will not have clean water to drink, or your grandchildren will not have clean air to breathe. We need to be more considerate about the consequences our actions have on the future.
