Tue, 01 Oct 2019 10:19:43 +0000 kate elton https://kateelton.com/Strategic-Service-Design Strategic + Service Design My experience and expertise spans the fields of Strategic Design, Service Design, Social Design, Industrial Design and Visual Communication. Over a period of 5 years I worked as a strategic and social designer at the UTS Design Innovation Research Centre (DI:rc). At DI:rc I used design as a tool to promote positive social change. I am currently working as a freelance designer, applying the skills I learned over that time. I am passionate about seeking to create playful ways to build emotional intelligence and resilience through design. I have experience working with a broad cross-section of organisations including Legal Aid NSW, Youth Justice, NSW Local Health Districts, UTS Respect.Now.Always., the Office of Responsible Gambling, NSW Government, the Australian Defence Force and Primary Care and Community Services. Sadly, DI:rc was discontinued at the end of 2021.&nbsp;Click here to learn more about the centre and the work we did. This video gives an insight into how we used design at DI:rc to tackle crime and social problems in our community through our long running initiative Designing Out Crime between the University of Technology Sydney and the NSW Department of Justice. <img width="3984" height="2656" width_o="3984" height_o="2656" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/42bc3013cf6c628242503db309e8f21b03443a958771890e4dd423a534cba018/IMG_1627e.jpg" data-mid="83207747" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/42bc3013cf6c628242503db309e8f21b03443a958771890e4dd423a534cba018/IMG_1627e.jpg" /> A project worth noting that I have worked on is the Respect.Now.Always. program at UTS. This project is a whole of community campaign for sexual violence prevention at UTS. It focuses on using human-centred design and a participatory approach to create sustainable cultural change. In 2020 our design work on this project was awarded the Good Design Australia Best In Class award&nbsp;in the Social Impact category, an accolade we are incredibly excited by and proud of. <img width="2000" height="1335" width_o="2000" height_o="1335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a35619d7aa56f58d9d31a49c2d6e9e08f3a26d9e16bb99b85abf9758c713518c/O_Day_2018_0322_Low_Res.jpg" data-mid="83207535" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a35619d7aa56f58d9d31a49c2d6e9e08f3a26d9e16bb99b85abf9758c713518c/O_Day_2018_0322_Low_Res.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1335" width_o="2000" height_o="1335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5468a4999fd73d53be022b2b1e86dd3a27c459cdc4c6887497c63b26f08c3fa5/O_Day_2018_0345_Low_Res.jpg" data-mid="83207516" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5468a4999fd73d53be022b2b1e86dd3a27c459cdc4c6887497c63b26f08c3fa5/O_Day_2018_0345_Low_Res.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1335" width_o="2000" height_o="1335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f7596bce0b71e36a896c3e7dc6cab72d7bcf0798561be4895d95dc56754aeec7/O_Day_2018_0304_Low_Res.jpg" data-mid="83207522" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f7596bce0b71e36a896c3e7dc6cab72d7bcf0798561be4895d95dc56754aeec7/O_Day_2018_0304_Low_Res.jpg" /> Petal https://kateelton.com/Petal Sun, 06 Sep 2020 21:53:27 +0000 kate elton https://kateelton.com/Petal Petal <img width="3200" height="2119" width_o="3200" height_o="2119" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0157b89da7f9fceeaecec1f16a31c90dee582f5930db3a89e20ccfd3fa72019b/P1040435wide.jpg" data-mid="82595406" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0157b89da7f9fceeaecec1f16a31c90dee582f5930db3a89e20ccfd3fa72019b/P1040435wide.jpg" /> Petal reflects the passing of time as a gentle, rhythmic cycle and reminds us all to take a breath and slow down. The natural grain of the timber is a subtle reflection of our need as humans to connect with nature and stay grounded. <img width="3851" height="2892" width_o="3851" height_o="2892" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7e9cc91d2d2e1a6be2b01845d1f8430e29becd0fbc9db4ca2abb8304c02fd33f/P1040433.jpg" data-mid="82595404" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7e9cc91d2d2e1a6be2b01845d1f8430e29becd0fbc9db4ca2abb8304c02fd33f/P1040433.jpg" /> The aesthetic arrangement of the timber and copper is a calm and feminine treatment of two materials more traditionally associated with furniture or fittings. The CNC cut curvature of the clock face frames the grain of the rock maple, serving to accentuate the naturally appealing texture of the timber, while the copper hands offset the earthy tones of the clock face. Petal has been featured in several exhibitions and magazines, including the Workshopped exhibition and Inside Out magazine. Petal is made locally in Sydney, Australia.

It was designed in response to a brief that was created as a result of extensive research conducted into the area of physiotherapy rehabilitation in ankle and foot injuries in the first half of 2011. WALKIT was published in the 2011 Anno Books publication, and a link to this can be found on the About page. WALKIT was also selected to be showcased as part of the James Dyson Award exhibition at the Australian Design Awards Gala Evening in Sydney in July 2012. <img width="2430" height="2604" width_o="2430" height_o="2604" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b0f9659d9838d1b1957946d3074f4f12d69b0dab0e494d4f11ff93b048c0b775/p1_B085377.JPG" data-mid="83207830" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b0f9659d9838d1b1957946d3074f4f12d69b0dab0e494d4f11ff93b048c0b775/p1_B085377.JPG" />The WALKIT Rehabilitative Children’s Walking Brace fills the need in the market for an affordable and readily available walking brace for ankle and foot injuries in children. It combines a high level of function and performance with an affordable price, and is available in 3 different sizes to fit 5 – 13 year olds. Through the use of an integrated controlled range of movement ankle hinge and a memory foam soft lining, the brace is adjustable and adaptable to the limb throughout the healing process. Its flat-pack nature makes it easily accessible for the patient, and helps to significantly reduce the overall cost. The WALKIT Brace comes with a range of different coloured front panels that can be mixed and matched, allowing the child to customise the brace as often as they like.<img width="2608" height="2904" width_o="2608" height_o="2904" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d132d419ad3a7edefc4f00925b80e7462145c0fdd34e84f00318822d17e5b5f1/23_B085320.jpg" data-mid="83207829" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d132d419ad3a7edefc4f00925b80e7462145c0fdd34e84f00318822d17e5b5f1/23_B085320.jpg" />This is a link to Youtube to a video that I made for my James Dyson Award entry for the WALKIT brace, showing the ritual of use of the product: Walkit Demonstration Video <img width="3186" height="2736" width_o="3186" height_o="2736" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e636c697749432e4a6e474738c615cf72af8e4f6094124d7ad84253937ded586/5-2_B085364.JPG" data-mid="83207825" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e636c697749432e4a6e474738c615cf72af8e4f6094124d7ad84253937ded586/5-2_B085364.JPG" /> <img width="2360" height="2968" width_o="2360" height_o="2968" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b2d1ee124fcbe2eb575acc33cd0e7a9d887aa765e269c9cd32f666ba1ca1dee6/p9_B085385.jpg" data-mid="83207836" border="0" data-scale="90" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b2d1ee124fcbe2eb575acc33cd0e7a9d887aa765e269c9cd32f666ba1ca1dee6/p9_B085385.jpg" /> <img width="2682" height="2430" width_o="2682" height_o="2430" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a0b1d69cc13044060a48c4b0209d784919a57cfe9bec436dec074c796bdc813f/16_B085381.JPG" data-mid="83207828" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a0b1d69cc13044060a48c4b0209d784919a57cfe9bec436dec074c796bdc813f/16_B085381.JPG" /> <img width="2712" height="2736" width_o="2712" height_o="2736" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/39876030531ffc6f0e317e18bd4468f7cd25b94a6b4db8b9d1a0514104fb6514/15_B085311.JPG" data-mid="83207827" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/39876030531ffc6f0e317e18bd4468f7cd25b94a6b4db8b9d1a0514104fb6514/15_B085311.JPG" /> <img width="1376" height="2691" width_o="1376" height_o="2691" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0f7941fe4db6829112d9c1611f0363d1708e32496ae74030d1ea3a467ecbaf01/p7_B085350.JPG" data-mid="83207835" border="0" data-scale="68" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0f7941fe4db6829112d9c1611f0363d1708e32496ae74030d1ea3a467ecbaf01/p7_B085350.JPG" /> Blind Transport https://kateelton.com/Blind-Transport Thu, 10 Sep 2020 12:38:30 +0000 kate elton https://kateelton.com/Blind-Transport Blind Transport <img width="400" height="400" width_o="400" height_o="400" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/39b7ebd981d66a05dcc510578ac38f5877e405e512c1194f41f40335ff54aaaf/1-BLIND.jpg" data-mid="83208240" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/400/i/39b7ebd981d66a05dcc510578ac38f5877e405e512c1194f41f40335ff54aaaf/1-BLIND.jpg" /> This product was developed in response to the need for visually impaired people to independently use public transport, specifically bus transport.

The primary function of the system is to give the user independence by informing them of when their bus is on its way, where it is, when it has arrived and when it has reached their stop to alight the bus. It also provides timetable information and locates surrounding services such as toilets and train stations. <img width="400" height="400" width_o="400" height_o="400" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/919a1b4adc7023931d52c953e12d32d8d6877f0ab10d65bb7aa621d1a49bedc7/3-BLIND.jpg" data-mid="83208243" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/400/i/919a1b4adc7023931d52c953e12d32d8d6877f0ab10d65bb7aa621d1a49bedc7/3-BLIND.jpg" /> <img width="400" height="400" width_o="400" height_o="400" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/308eb95f5178b54696a7c45ababc58ad2cc126dee18e9847d817b1da87b313e6/5-BLIND.jpg" data-mid="83208245" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/400/i/308eb95f5178b54696a7c45ababc58ad2cc126dee18e9847d817b1da87b313e6/5-BLIND.jpg" /> <img width="400" height="400" width_o="400" height_o="400" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e183fe41e627f547ead74c2f05cc18da73d7c1eb6f8ea9ec7529ceb9a723a003/4-BLIND.jpg" data-mid="83208244" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/400/i/e183fe41e627f547ead74c2f05cc18da73d7c1eb6f8ea9ec7529ceb9a723a003/4-BLIND.jpg" /> <img width="400" height="400" width_o="400" height_o="400" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/eccc0a5b1503b9e59a8f23abffc14b0195dc87740e53104cc216e8a9a6d98c4e/6-BLIND.jpg" data-mid="83208246" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/400/i/eccc0a5b1503b9e59a8f23abffc14b0195dc87740e53104cc216e8a9a6d98c4e/6-BLIND.jpg" /> Mental Health https://kateelton.com/Mental-Health Mon, 30 Sep 2019 23:29:57 +0000 kate elton https://kateelton.com/Mental-Health Mental Health I am interested in designing products and services that encourage people to see their own strength and build resilience. I have a particular passion for working with young people and fostering emotional intelligence. As someone who has also lived with generalised anxiety from a young age, I have spoken publicly on a few occasions about managing anxiety and building resilience. In 2015 I wrote and produced ‘The Little Book for Big Worries’, and earlier in 2020 I created the ‘Anxiety Care Package’. Both are available on my Etsy store. <img width="3000" height="2222" width_o="3000" height_o="2222" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7383bc8cde0ffec528bbab9a5ca89f86a2bc673c9ca34e12bcc67b082cccd394/etsy-01.jpg" data-mid="82398685" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7383bc8cde0ffec528bbab9a5ca89f86a2bc673c9ca34e12bcc67b082cccd394/etsy-01.jpg" /> “The Little&nbsp;Book for&nbsp;Big&nbsp;Worries is a random collection of go-to strategies, tips, tools, inspirations and wise words for managing and beating anxiety. Everything in this book has helped me overcome and manage anxiety that I have lived with for a very long time.” The pocket-sized book is 110mm x 110mm and is 24 pages long. <img width="2000" height="1526" width_o="2000" height_o="1526" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aa039c600b49992ea277cbf853c42a5eb87d59a984c003641e786bc78f3b2272/etsy-package2.png" data-mid="82398795" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aa039c600b49992ea277cbf853c42a5eb87d59a984c003641e786bc78f3b2272/etsy-package2.png" /> Anxiety Care Package&nbsp; (Designed in response to the first COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020) “Chances are that if you are reading this, it’s because you or someone you know might be feeling a bit (or a lot) anxious about all the uncertainty going on in the world. I’m sure you would have heard people say that anxiety is a completely normal and reasonable response, which it absolutely is! As someone who is a veteran at this whole worry thing, I know that unfortunately that still leaves you with the feeling of anxiety that you need to live and deal with. My hope is that this little care package helps to give you some relief, some reasons to be hopeful and some things to do in the meantime while we all collectively wait out the storm.” The Anxiety Care Package includes:A copy of The Little Book For Big Worries,A list of helpful and fun ideas for things to do and think about in the meantime,A randomly selected print of one of my doodles from @katedoodlessometimes,A fun meme I liked that both reminded me this WILL end, and to keep a sense of humour.
