MerPod Tailoring
For the entirety of my academic life, I’ve been pursuing a career in creative prosthetics design; I’ve always wanted to use my hands-on creativity to become instrumental in the world of prosthetics manufacture, and now with the skills, facilities and inspiration I’ve acquired at the University of Brighton, I have the vision and the drive to put my dreams in motion.
I’ve designed and produced a prosthetic device that not only acts as the first major step towards realising my ambition, but flaunts the creative vision and inspirations that fuel me as a designer. Taping into the magic of beloved western folklore, my creation is a carefully constructed, maticulously designed Mermaid tail that accomodates both the general wearer and the disabled user.
The tail and all its accessories are designed to be as accessible as possible, allowing any and all to become a real-life mermaid.
