I am a British graphic designer currently living in NYC. I have an array of experience including magazine design, ad creation, brand design and implementation, infographics and corporate collateral, website design (wireframe and construction), motion graphics and video editing.
I also have a background in project management, and a previous career as an environmental scientist, with notable jobs including involvement on the 2012 London Olympics.
Projects
- ImpolitikalSocial media content for a political publication's 1st year anniversary Impolitikal.com is a digital-only publication with a social, political focus. The project scope involved the design of a logo to use across social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter; email signature for all staff; and a social media banner. The latter had a brief to incorporate images of celebrated “social justice heroes”. Each portrait was used in conjunction with website content in celebration of their first year anniversary.
- Wista AdAd campaign for social media app in Redbull Magazine Wistla, a social media application, required a single and double page spread ad for Redbull Magazine, to run through a summer campaign. Working closely with the marketing department, the continually adaptive brief helped produce an original and lively product that was printed in multiple issues of the magazine.
- Science InfographicsData and content driven scientific infographics for social media The infographics were created for a provider of scientific, technical, and medical information. Each infographic required research in the area, data analysis and visual presentation that is engaging, and bold. Each infographic was produced for multiple platforms, presented on multiple formats for ease of consumption.
- Next Level Test PrepWebsite UX, wireframe design and construction for a SAT tutoring company Next Level Test Prep required a modern, clean and direct website. After an extensive discussions with the client, a wireframe was created prior to the site build on Wordpress. With the level of content required, a responsive, one page, scrolling site was determined best fit, with each section separated by defined color boundaries. Minor HTML and CSS coding was incorporated to provide the exact look the client required. A short Wordpress tutorial was provided to the client post-build so that they were able to update the site when required.
- Scientist PortraitsA personal illustrative project involving portraits of important historical scientific figures A series of illustrative portraits were created for the social media platform Instagram. Either drawn by hand with pen and paper, or digitally on Photoshop, the series also highlighted the achievements of each scientist.
