Degree Show 2021


Noor is a designer who has recently graduated from studying Visual Communication at the University of Technology Sydney. Her designs are anchored by personal experience and an acute attention to the diverse ways of thinking which inform the varied ways in which people make connections to design. In her work, she aims to make these connections universal and long-lasting. She is passionate about the storytelling of human experiences and more broadly, human-centred design.

Inspired by children’s book Taming Butterflies by Sue Whiting, the experience uses the imagery of butterflies to address the issue of free floating anxiety and gives children methods of dealing with nerves and shyness. Focusing on the effects the COVID-19 pandemic had on the elderly population, we aim to create meaningful connection between young people and their elderly family members. Creating cross-generational connection through photo pairings and family archives. Team: Anousha Xegas, Lucy DiCristo & Noor Raad
