To visitors and tourists, the compact French metropolis of Rennes is perhaps best known for its half-timbered medieval houses and stately neoclassical architecture, including its eponymous 19th-century cathedral. In the town’s densely populated south end, however, the Blosne district is a strikingly different milieu, dominated by high-rise apartment blocks dating to the 1960s.

One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

Then, during the pandemic, she found herself furloughed, disillusioned with the music industry, and back at her parents’ home in Devon, England.

From visually impaired users who rely on assistive technology, to people with a temporary injury such as a broken arm, tech users are forever diverse and beautifully unique. The products we design can, and should, reflect the extremely wide range of human experiences and needs.
