About
I’m Honor - a designer based in Scotland and a recent graduate of Product Design BSc from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design with a first class honours degree.
my passion lies in crafting playful and unique objects and experiences, focusing on physicality and materials. Hands-on making is one of my passions, and I have had the opportunity during my time at university to build up my skills in so many specialist areas, and with a range of materials and techniques.
My work covers a wide range of design areas and disciplines from woodworking to garment making & packaging design to installation. social issues and politics are at the core of everything, and I think that design should always reflect that. creating inclusive experiences for all, regardless of class, mobility, age or gender is a philosophy I carry with me in both my life and through my work.
Big Bloody Racket is a series of interactive objects which blend physical and digital sound creation. In a world that often measures worth by money-making ability, many are dissuaded from pursuing activities purely for the sake of enjoyment. Big Bloody Racket challenges this notion head-on - utilising an interactive museum space to create a playful group music experience. The objects are designed to take the pressure away from the inherent performative nature of playing an instrument, and encourage child-like engagement with our surroundings. Taking advantage of the naturally experimental features present in physical instruments, and combining them with the varied outputs of digital music-making creates an environment that fosters experimentation and low-pressure music creation. Challenging conventional notions of music quality invites individuals to reconnect with the joy of simply making a big bloody racket.
