Journey Home
Journey Home turns a familiar walk through Bournemouth into a quiet act of reflection, using symbolic wayfinding and emotional design to bring presence, comfort, and meaning to overlooked public space.
This is a selection of highlights from the Journey Home project. Additional visuals, design explorations, and early concepts are available on request.
The Commuter Problem
Daily commutes often blur into forgettable routines—spaces passed through, not felt. In an overwhelmingly digital world, the physical environments we move through can seem shallow compared to the richness of our screens.
Journey Home is a research-driven, philosophically grounded wayfinding project that reawakens commuters to the beauty of everyday moments. Through subtle interventions and emotional signposting, it invites a slower, more mindful engagement with the spaces we so often overlook.
Journey Home Logomark
A wayfinding system inspired by psychogeography and non directional wayfinding guides users through symbol and text prompts, to let go and let their mind wander.
Posters and postcards have been dotted throughout the route to create a cohesive journey that users can follow.

Journey Home Map
To practice creating physical outcomes I created a physical Journey Home Map out of specifically chosen materials; in an effort to evoke the core aesthetic of the project through physicality.
As part of this process I planned, printed and conducted every element of this piece; from the paper used to the editing style of the photo’s themselves.
To mirror the project values I designed everything with a sense of serendipitous discovery; imperfect yet genuine, quietly exuding a sense of warmth and wonder missing from a digital-first world.
