I am a confident, passionate and diligent designer with around a years experience in the industry, working with both print and digital media and am well-versed with most programs within the Adobe Creative Suite. Recently, I was the sole designer of a start-up company, having built up and designed the companies new branding and worked daily on a variety of projects from social media to publishing. I have effective time- management and problem-solving skills, allowing the completion of projects with minimal supervision.
Through my university and industry experience, I have developed a strong knowledge of typography, layouts, colour and other design fundamentals. With a background in Fine Art, I strive to find the most creative and interesting ways to combine visuals and typography, aiming to find that fresh design solution. I was honoured, during University, to be shortlisted for the 2019 Penguin Student Design Awards, also to be highly commended for two additional awards in cover and editorial design.
Projects
- Underdawg LogoUnderdawg is a new club created to be a community village trip, where people can explore new things within a trusted group. The client was looking for a simple and clean logo design, which incorporated a dog within the design if it would work. They needed a design that was energetic, sleek, fun but stylish and clean. I explored a few different design options, and the client settled on a design that transformed the letter 'W' into a dog face, that can then be used as a strong icon by itself for t
- The Purposeful ProjectThe following images show the brand identity I designed for my client The Purposeful Project. The company were wanting a complete re-design of their current branding, creating a one strong brand that will represent all the different services they provide. The client wanted certain attributes for the branding, mainly for it to have a clear sense of family.
- Sunbeam Consultants (Logo Design)I was approached by the client to design them a logo for their new business venture, Sunbeam Consultants. They wanted a logo that was solid, strong and modern, and that emphasised the word 'Sunbeam', while 'Consultant' was to be more subdued. The client was also very clear that they wanted a sun symbol used within the logo and that customers were to get a sense of trust, hope and warmth from the design. My client also requested if I could design the social media banner for her business. They w
- Norse Mythology SeriesMy Final Major Project focuses on the representation of historical visuals in publishing, by re-imaging the vibrant, visual culture of Norse storytelling for a twenty-first century audience. While these amazing stories have been told and retold across countless generations, in modern published editions generic images are perhaps too often used to accompany the texts. It seems the visuals the Nordic community created to represent their stories have almost been lost to our society. In response, I
- The Wynkyn De Worde Design CompetitionThe brief for this project was to create a new and exciting cover for Louis Sachar's book 'Holes'. My concept, was to create a visual depth within the cover using a digital paper layer effect. This was to reflect the holes of the scenery of the book and the links between past and present within the story. Using a large lizard silhouette, instead of just holes, was much more interesting and impactful. My cover was highly commended by the judges of the competition.
- Waves - Guide and PostersWaves is a design project aimed to help designers deal with stress in their work space. The objective of this project was to create something that not only assists designers by giving them the vital information needed to cope with stress, but also for the design itself to assist in lowering stress levels. Therefore, every design element chosen assists on combating stress. For example, the minimal style and layout helps relieve tension in the design. The colours create a calming but positive envi
