Projects
  • Studio Timelines
    Studio TimelinesA series of maps, which show the career paths of each individual designer, past and present, that has worked at one given design studio. This following map is based on the studio Graphic Thought Facility. The designers are separated into six sections as follows, founders, creative directors, senior designers, mid weight designers, junior designers and interns. A year by year timeline is featured at the top with the names of all the designers listed downwards. The gradients of coloured lines represent the position the designer was at that particular time from intern to founder. The maps reveal a distinct pattern as they illustrate the individual journies of each designer set side by side as they climb the design ladder. It’s fascinating how intertwined the design industry is, considering its scale scattered across the globe, however we still manage to be so connected with one another.
Work history
    Graphic Design Intern
     - London, United KingdomFreelance
    I have efficiently worked on several large scale projects at once for clients such as COS, Gagosian, Kvadrat, Photo London, Tashien and Vitra. My name has been credited in a newly published book by fashion brand COS, Creating with Shapes: Usha Doshi, for my contribution to the design of a book on instructing a unique process of creating garments. I worked on all design process from initial experimentation process to final art-working and test prints. My main responsibility of this project was to manage the production of the instructional illustrations. I collaborated closely with the client and a sub contract illustrator in making sure these designs leave no room for error in demonstrating the technique correctly. I’ve also created final art-wors for a number of projects including a wall graphic that is currently being exhibited at The New Frost Museum in Miami, Vitra product catalogue and. Kvadrat packaging.

    I jumped at the chance to be thrown in at the deep end at Six with my first task of rebranding a multi million pound development and investment company, Glenmore. I designed a tweaked and polished version of their existing brand mark, maintaining the same idea but with a bolder appeal. I am proud to of had my design chosen by the client.
