Upon graduating she worked as a research assistant for the EU INTERREG IV funded project, BRIDGE (Building Research and Innovative Deals for the Green Economy) under Prof. Joan Farrer, the project lead. One of the project aims was to demonstrate the opportunities for innovation arising from trans-disciplinary research. The project linked nine partners from Southern England and Northern France from diverse settings; design research, sustainable construction, waste reprocessing, business incubation, agricultural engineering, and eco-materials research (textiles and timber). BRIDGE aimed to build partnerships for cross-border economic development and complementary centres, business and design incubators to share best practice in eco design. The collaboration analysed and engaged local and geographical growing, making use of the retail and disposal networks in the field of eco materials in order to support and develop future green entrepreneurs.
