I had the honour of Illustrated a poem for TEDx magazine and designing a backdrop and digital assets for FREEDA interactive stand.

- Alice: Through the Looking GlassA book that visually re-interprets the Lewis Carroll novel, 'Alice: Through the Looking Glass', for adults. It has a dark and gory theme, and tells a story through cohesive design and typography, whilst still allowing each illustrator to convey elements of their own style, seeing each chapter through their unique lens. This work was part of a University project.
