- Pearl the Star GirlPearl the Star Girl tells the story of Pearl, a young girl from Kensington, Brooklyn in New York, who would just like to be a star. The book follows her on her journey of imagination - could she be a shooting star? A rock star? Even a star fish? The book ends with Pearl wishing on a shooting star for her dream to come true, and it does, but perhaps not in a way that is expected. Christmastime has always been my favourite time of year. Whilst the sky darkens much sooner outside, there is always

- YCN UK Greetings Brief 2020The Bears and the Bees is a range of giftware and stationary created in response to YCN's UK Greetings brief. From cards, giftware, notebooks and more, the range could be focused on anything. To broaden the appeal of the range for all demographics, I chose a bright and bold colour scheme which allowed for a spread of fun and neutral products in the range, meaning a more diverse range of people would be inclined to buy any products from it. Using a limited set of characters, objects and pattern
- A Student's AlphabetA Student's Alphabet was inspired by a University brief to illustrate letters from something perhaps unexpected. I decided to tailor my alphabet around student life as when you first start any form of education, the alphabet is the first thing you learn. However, at university, everything you have learnt so far in life is often flipped on it's head. The alphabet is intended to act as a and light-hearted guide for new students in book form, whilst also being a tear-out poster book that students
