At the end of each year, Brighton has an End of Year Show where the graduates and top students from the years below showcase there work. For my final end of year show, I was given the responsibility to make the exhibition stands for the studio's banners and to design my own two banners. After completing this with time spare, I was given the opportunity to design and make a model stand over the two days remaining before the opening night. I was free to design and make anything from their scrap woodpile and decided on using the leftover 2X2 timbers, gaining inspiration from wooden latticework.

At the end of my second year, I also helped the third years design and make their end of year show which was on hastings pier. I produced two banners from my second-year work to be part of our studio's (Studio 13) exhibition stand.
The 2010 destruction of Hastings Pier by fire was an opportunity to redefine what a pier could be in the 21st century; moving away from the accumulation of commercial booths of poor quality construction. dRMM’s reimagined the Victorian pleasure pier as a sustainable, flexible platform able to accommodate a broad range of community and commercial uses for years to come. Winner of the 2017 RIBA Stirling Prize, the UK's top architecture award.
