Designing Multi-sensory Tools for Therapy
Industrial Design Undergraduate
RMIT University

2015 - 2018



As my Industrial Design Honours project, I developed a virtual reality program to support and aid the implementation of cognitive behavioural therapy for those living with severe anxiety disorders. Several virtual experiences were created in collaboration with staff and patients at Bendigo Health, rural Australia.
