Vision for the Project: The Ship of Adventures

An essential part of creating a positive and attractive learning atmosphere is the physical environment, which we design to inspire a positive attitude to education, and a sense of excitement about learning. With the Ship of Adventures we've made a base for learning which is filled with fantasy, curiosity and excitement. The Ship contains two learning spaces, a shop/cafe selling books and the product made by the young people, and office areas for local educational charities.
Design Concept: The overarching design concept is to see the building itself as a Ship, with each of the four storeys representing one part of the ship: The Hull; the Main Deck; the Upper Deck and the Crow’s Nest. The theme through the space is of “Adventures in Learning” – through careful design and curation of the space, we hoped to promote an environment with the message that exploration and adventure can be found through books and learning.

I double-majored in Illustration and Communication Arts at the Hugo Design Institute. After interning for famed graphic artist Veruca Mafnas, I went on to design at ad agency Showcase, where I worked for nearly three years.

I balanced my day job with personal creative work, like collage and woodblock printing, which garnered attention from a few indie publishers. Eventually, I got offers from more established magazines, so I decided to design for Showcase on a freelance basis. This allowed me to work on other cool projects, from emerging brands to current events.

My creative approach—no matter the medium—is to find points of tension behind the idea I’ve been assigned or am interested in. I do several iterations on each point and usually end up refining the one I find most controversial.

For me, controversy isn’t about instigation, but rather, a way to arrest your audience. It’s a way to plant a little bit of desire in their hearts; a yearning to turn the page and learn more about your idea. Ultimately, it’s about creating memorable images.
