DEEP Initiative in UNNC

DEEP (Design-Engineering-Engagement-Practicality) initiative is a year long project in University of Nottingham Ningbo China, during academic year 2019-2020. The first semester includes hands-on workshops delivered by contributors, guest talks and second semester will entail facilitation of projects development. Towards the end of second semester, 10 selected projects will be exhibited in a public exhibition. The initiative is open for all undergraduate students.

The initiative is led by Dr Sannia Mareta and I am taking part as an external contributor. Mainly I contribute on delivering design related skills and mentoring.

Supported by 1920 Small Teaching and Learning Development Grant.

Happy Christmas

This Christmas I made some laser cut baubles, putting my rusty AutoCAD skill to use at last 🙂 Made around 650 of them in total for the Christmas market and personalised orders. 22 meticulous design and A-Z. Anyway, here is hoping for a Merry Christmas and have a fantastic 2019! Cheers.

Ningbo Focus November 2017

A little bit something about myself and our life in Ningbo, China. Ningbo is a home of 7 million people, 2 hours away on high speed train from Shanghai, and only an hour away from Hangzhou. Just a hop skip away. Ningbo is good compromise between urban life and nature, and the campus is our home. Matt and I came nearly  5 years ago to the University of Nottingham ( in its China campus. The university has 3 campuses in the UK, China and Malaysia).  After 8 months I decided to pursue a PhD degree, and that is me for the time being :)  Ningbo Foreign Ladies Group (NFLG) provides a great support system, thank you Ayleen from NFLG for giving  me the opportunity. And also Ningbo Focus.
