Laura-Emma McCabe

My name is Laura-Emma McCabe , I am 22 years old and currently in my final year of study at the Glasgow school of art.Studying product design with a passion for medical design.I created this online portfolio to allow possible employers and internship opportunities to view my work as a designer and get to know me better.

Born and raised in Scotland.From a young age I have been creative.I constantly carried and doodled in my sketchbook.Observing,thinking and questioning the world around me.Being an empathetic designer I consider the users feelings towards a product creating a new experience or interaction for users.

I am inspired by humanitarians such as Patch Adams who has dedicated his life to helping people in the medical field.I have the motivation to help people using design.Looking at a persons condition and to understand what part of their daily life is difficult,this is part of my design process.I believe that design in the 21st century has a chance to be used by everyone and help improve lives.
