- Made It! Publication - GCD Degree Show 2019Designing the publication for the Central Saint Martins Graphic Communication Design Degree Show 2019. As part of the 2018 Graphic Communication Design degree show, we were tasked with creating a publication that documented the diversity of individuals, outcomes and paths within the GCD course.

- This One's For HerHarnessing the power of the people to tackle Period Poverty in the UK.
