Projects
- Photography for SheerLuxe beauty awardsThe results of our first-ever beauty awards are in. From the sustainable brand of choice to the tools that are more than just a gimmick – plus, the make-up that always performs – these are the best products on the market, as chosen by SheerLuxe readers. https://sheerluxe.com/beauty/sheerluxe-beauty-awards Beauty Editor: Rebecca Hull Photography: Emily Shannon Graphic Design: Alicia Gisbert
- Packaging Designs For A Non-Alcoholic Beverage CompanyThe brief was to create a new look and feel for Mixed Up Drinks Co.’s range of non-alcoholic cocktails in a can. My process started by putting together a bright and summery colour palette inspired by the Mediterranean, a destination where you might enjoy these classic cocktails. Using the ingredients for each SKU (Gin & Tonic, Aperol Spritz and Mojito) I developed illustrations in a style inspired by Matisse’s cutout paintings.

Creative & Content DesignerCUTLER AND GROSS
- London, United KingdomFull Time
In this all-around creative role, I used my expert knowledge in social media to inform content
creation from videography, motion design, photography and illustration. On some weeks the
organic reach rate for Instagram increased by as much as 50% due to the high performance
of the reels and paid ad GIFs I created. Using best practices I created graphics for multichannel
digital platforms using brand guidelines. I was praised for my editorial design, working with
campaign imagery to create lookbooks, window banners and various retail POS.
