    Graphic designerOJ Property Maintenance
     - United KingdomFreelance
    A start-up property maintenance company that needed a complete branding and visual iden- tity made for publicity and marketing purposes. Working using Adobe Creative Suite I was able to design a body of work that involved a logo, merchandise, business cards, and van branding. As the sole designer, I had full control of the creative process while reporting straight to the client. Since the design has been published, brand awareness has improved and the client has seen sales rise.

    Graphic designRSA Student Design Awards
    I was shortlisted by my university to be put forward for the RSA design awards with the topic of “Making Fashion Circular”. I designed a new brand, called The Hair Bank, a service that collects waste hair from salons to re-use and create a sustainable insulation material for clothing. I believe that this is a unique and highly effective way of making fashion circular. I created the idea of The Hair Bank from scratch, working across the company’s strategy, including its priority, identity, and design.
