As an experienced product and graphic designer, I thrive both as an individual and within team settings. My wide-ranging design capabilities make me extremely versatile, ready to take on any design project or challenge. I believe that my enthusiasm, hunger to excite, and adaptability drives me to excel. Working alongside strategists and anthropologists has enabled me to view design from a business perspective, provided me the opportunity to support with research, and apply this methodology to my design thinking.
Projects
- 'Up Late With Rylan' Press ImageI designed the press image and a geographical Snapchat filter for a new chat show that was released and aired on Channel 5. The press image was a key part of the marketing campaign and was used to advertise the show online. The Snapchat filter was a fun project which gave me the opportunity to design for a new platform.
- Channel 5 Re-Brand PostersFollowing the Channels re-brand, a set of minimalist posters showcasing the channel's top shows following the Channel 5 re-brand were designed. The office was to undergo a decorative refurbishment. The re-brand was announced and implemented during my employment, and the channel wanted this launch to be a meaningful and significant event, the office re-design played a big roll in this.
- Rocket Citrus JuicerThe Rocket Citrus Juicer was a combination of research, ideation, development, launch and design for manufacture in a fast-paced, one-week project. The outcome was a fully developed product which identified manufacturing methods and costs, as well as packaging and launch campaign.

Designing end to end, I worked by identifying social problems and offering solutions. The process started with research using in-field methodologies and ethnographic research to identify a problem. Through ideation and development, I was able to generate ideas, test them with users and gather feedback, before developing these concepts. The final step in this design process was not only visualising these designs but looking at manufacturing and materials. This was a crucial and valuable step in the design process to create not only a breakthrough product but identify how this would work and be produced in a real-world environment.
