    As the sole designer working for Student and Corporate Communications, I art direct, design and write copy for campaigns, identities and marketing materials for 30,000 students and a wider global audience. Alongside the creation of undergraduate recruitment campaigns and cohesive identities for the University’s social channels, I have been instrumental in pioneering a far-reaching Anti-Racism campaign and education strategy. This included the scripting, art-directing and storyboarding of a video, shown to all incoming students and featured in the national press.
