Hello! I'm Rebecca Brown a graduate product designer of Edinburgh Napier University. I’ve a keen interest in working toward making neurodivergent inclusive designs, with an overall interest in design. Being dyslexic myself gives me personal insight to a neurodivergent mind; as well as it lends to 3D thinking, problem solving and out of box thinking.

All in all, I’m a designer who loves to design for People. I thrive as a designer in areas around rapid prototyping, research, and idea generation. I’m keen to join a design team to grow and develop with as well as any small scale community projects. Feel free to contact me via email or social media anytime. Links above.

Education

2020-2024

BDes (Hons) Product Design

Edinburgh Napier University

Graduating in 2024, partipating in New Designers 2024 London as a part of my final project FOOTER. Which was one of over 3,000 graduates, where I got to talk to all sorts of people, Getting a mention from New designers as well as the Bexley Grammer School.

‘WHAT’S TRENDING AT NEW DESIGNERS 2024? … Product Design graduate Rebecca Brown from Edinburgh Napier University has created Footer, a sensory kit for neurodivergent people which helps to reduce anxiety and stress.’

‘We also came across a design called Footer by Rebecca Brown …. allowing those with anxiety or stress to have something to fiddle with on the go, and really inspired us as another theme some people chose for our NEA was “Educational toys and games”.’

This course furthered my excitment for design, developemed my skills and my understanding of the importance of good design. As well as encouraged me to explore making Footer a reality.
