I am a designer with a curious mind, a strong work ethic, and a passion for effective, eye-catching and imaginative design. I am fascinated and excited by the design process and all its creative elements and therefore am committed to developing an exciting and successful career in the design industry.
Over the past few years I have gained valuable experience and skills in different areas of design. This has helped me to appreciate the diversity of the industry and enhance my knowledge of design.
Projects
- In Search of Dark Skies | Zine In recent years the spectacular sight of the stars in our night sky has slowly disappeared from view. I created this zine, using my own photography and illustration, to raise awareness about the negative effects of artificial lighting and allow people to see the beauty of the night sky.
- Marks & Spencer Beauty Advent Calendar | Packaging The beauty advent calendar was a key PR driving product during the festive period at Marks & Spencer, aiming to excite customers and draw new customers into the beauty department. The concept for this project was ‘a gift in a gift’ and the disruptive design aimed to have visual impact in store, whilst allowing for a re-usable christmas decoration in the home. The product was extremely successful in driving sales and had a very positive response from beauty bloggers and press reviews.
- Sydney Festival | Print & Digital Sydney Festival is one of Australia’s leading arts festivals. This role required me to work with brand guidelines to create various pieces of print and digital design. Designs I created included banners in the Sydney Opera House, artist passes, worn by everyone involved in the festival and publications which were distributed throughout the event.
