Thinking beyond university, I have been seriously considering how my practice might evolve into something that connects with broader audiences. My long term goal is to establish a small business specialising in custom acoustic solutions.

The idea was born out of my main degree project, SonuShelf, which showed how acoustic treatment can be both functional and visually stimulating.

Looking ahead, the business would begin small with individual commissions for homes, studios, or small venues. I have already received an offer for a commission, a music artist called Rasharn Powell has reached out asking me to create an acoustic shelf for an upcoming show/event this autumn.

For a larger business model I intend to focus on establishing a foundation rather than rushing into a steady state of certainty. I aim to continue evolving my designs and testing sustainable materials, while exploring how they can be integrated into products for both domestic and professional markets. At this time, I view the process as worthwhile research in the market and an opportunity to connect with creatives who have run their entrepreneurial projects, learning what is involved in the transition from an experimental practice to a business practice. Networking with architects & designers at the upcoming London Design Festival will be another way to gauge interest and outline where potential engagement might lead next. For now, this is still an idea in development; however, this development offers a great opportunity to connect my creative practice with earning a living.
