Why I wanted to join the team?

Participatory City Foundation it is an organisation that is striving to help build the world’s first large-scale participation system at the heart of Barking and Dagenham. This really appeals to me because I have always been passionate about using my creative skills to positively impact the lives of others around me and my community. As a designer I love experimenting with different design techniques allowing me to always deliver the best possible final outcome. I have always been passionate about working within a diverse team, I know that at Participatory City, diversity is at the heart of everything you do and the team works on a wide range of projects from print to visual realisation this has always been a dream of mine.

The project “Every One Every Day” that has an amazing network off over 1000’s of people and many businesses within the borough really shows the impactful and life changing work that is being done at Participatory City. This is another reason why I am very excited to be part of a team that can allow me to continue using my creative mindset to help. 

A little bit about my background

I am originally from Birmingham and now a London based designer, with a passion for branding, packaging and experimenting with all different design techniques.  For the past 3.5 years I have worked on packaging design and loved every bit of it but now I’m ready and excited to use my skills to create a positive impact. Outside of design my hobbies are going for long walks, bollywood dancing and photography.
