CARELINK - Greater Remote Domestic Care
My grandfather’s battle with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease profoundly affected both his independence and my grandmother’s role as his carer. In his later years, she was unable to leave the house without additional support, significantly limiting her own freedom. This experience has inspired me to design an assistive device that enables simple one-way communication, remote voice prompts, and alerts, proposed to increase safety, reassurance, and independence for both patient and carer.To help develop my design, I am seeking advice/support in coding, software development and electronics. Additionally, suggestions from anyone familiar with hospital, and residential care environments would be appreciated.

Heritage Buildings and Functional Obsolescence
This redevelopment intends to be an example for brighter, more thoughtful redevelopment of properties like 164-166 King Street, where deep rooted history in subcultural regions are becoming at risk of underinvestment and selective neglect: dereliction or gentrification. In regards to a greener and more community focused future, targeting the heart of this beast of a project lies in discovering the true needs of the community, creating a solution and being able to crafting a model well enough to reflect the idea’s quality to the council, the property owner and future investors in similar areas.

Town Hall Station redesign: for user wellbeing
Between 2001-2023, 1,685 suicides occurred on Australia’s railways, accounting for 72% of all rail-based fatalities (Tracksafe,2024). This alarming statistic motivated me to explore how transport environments influence the well-being and safety of commuters. My project aims to redesign the underground platforms of Town Hall Station to create a more supportive commuter experience. To support my project, I am seeking access to station plans and measurements, user groups for survey and testing, advice on materials, lighting strategies, biophilic integration, and well-being-centred design. I am also looking for practical guidance with 3D digital modelling software. Any professional support would be greatly appreciated.
