About me
A graphic designer based in Essex who has a passion for typography, branding and editorial design. ​ Recently awarded and accepted into the International Society of Typographic Designers, I aim to use typography to help communicate brands and develop experimental editorial designs. I strive to learn and develop new skills constantly, and am always looking for new ways to approach a brief.
Projects
  • Moments
    MomentsA campaign that aimed to make 18-25 year olds live in the moment again with a series of club nights around the country that ban the use of phones by using the Yondr pouch locking system. The campaign utilised an interactive board that would be set up in cultural centres of cities, alongside other promotional material.
  • Hidden
    HiddenThis project aimed to reveal the hidden people in society using the songs from the  electronic music producer Burial. Different typographic treatments were given to reflect the blocks of the urban landscape, and using acetate to reveal the voices of the hidden, that take quotes from the songs produced by Burial. Awarded membership into the International Society of Typographic Designers
  • Southend Vox
    Southend VoxA branding project for a local community choir using simple typographic treatments that take inspiration from vocal sheet music and voice techniques.
