About me
Currently completing my final year Graphic Comms & Illustration, I'm aiming to break into the fashion or creative industry post-graduation. I aim to challenge sustainability issues through creative print, fashion design and visual identity projects. With experience in working in entertainment and fashion agencies, I'm keen to push the future of design to be bold, bright and not boring (my motto)!
Projects
  • GRAPHIC NARRATIVE x BLUE VENTURES
    GRAPHIC NARRATIVE x BLUE VENTURESThe graphic narrative project had two main objectives: 1. create an 8 page story and 2. set it around Prague. In this comic I wanted to address science fiction themes (time travel); strong female characters and elements of myself. The style is based on cartoons ‘Rick and Morty’, ‘Daria’ and Tracy Beaker. Blue is the main colour theme throughout, this was decided upon after character development, where I chose my blue rounded glasses to become the central focus in the story.

    GIFFGAFF X D&AD NEW BLOOD Mobile phones lay wasted in drawers; drawers now in fact full of finite resources and cash. Our team aims to encourage current and potential members to recycle their phone for the imaginative incentive of all the ways that they could spend the money. Within this brief, we wanted to get people thinking about this clunky, boring effort as more of a win for them. Fix the washing machine? Maybe. Buy a pair of roller boots? Could do. 116 packets of digestive biscuits? Absolutely. This lighthearted, nonsensical and humorous narrative that we've chosen exudes the disruptive yet transparent values of giffgaff. This, coupled with giffgaffs four easy steps to recycle (and the nice good-deed feeling of helping the earth!) makes recycling your old phone, a no-brainer. https://www.dandad.org/awards/new-blood/2021/giffgaff/3864/cold-hard-cash/
