Post completing my degree brings an exciting new chapter. Throughout my three years at university, my creativity has grown, and I have explored various paths involving graphic design. I believe I have achieved a range of skills that will be very valuable. One of the important elements in career development and job satisfaction is finding a role that engages the strongest qualities of an individual and one that agrees with the individual’s values and attitudes

What was your inspiration for your final project?

My Final Major Project consists of an airport exhibition dealing with an aspect that I have become passionate about throughout my degree, caring for our environment. The exhibition incorporates a mission to make passengers aware of the importance of nature through biomimicry. Biomimicry is the process of studying and imitating nature to help solve human challenges. The study of birds has supported aeroplanes' engineering and has taught engineers how to make aircrafts lighter and more efficient. Biomimicry is not based on what we can extract from nature, but on what we can learn from it. Through my exhibition, I hope passengers will appreciate the beauty of flight and nature that has aided its development.
