"As Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO put's it 'the consumer moves from being a passive receiver to an active participant.' When design is conceived this way, the designers role is to think about the human experiences first, rather then just the thing itself." - Botsman, R and Rogers, R (2011). What's Mine Is Your's. London: Collins. p188.
Joshua Davey's approach to design is a result of this shift in consumer awareness. His practice involves of problem solving and design thinking, with emphasis on the unique empathetic experience for the audience.
This methodology provides a platform for designs that are flexible; that can be stretched, pushed & pulled to engage the consumer on each touch point of the product lifecycle.
He has recently graduated with a BA in applied communications (Visual) at Billy Blue College of Design and is open to Internships, Freelance, Full-Time and Project work.
On the side he is working on ‘Owl,' a project that has been developed over the past eight months to bridge the gap between the visually impaired and all the information that resides around them.
More to come from this ongoing project.
