Projects
  • Fintech Talents Digital Assets
    Fintech Talents Digital AssetsFor all events held at my company, a 12 week social media campaign was created. An important part of this campaign was the range of bold and informative visual assets that would be shared on socials including LinkedIn, Instagram and Twitter. These assets would showcase rockstar speakers, fintech sessions and the event experience.
  • eBay campaign
    eBay campaignAfter using the platform and understanding how useful a £1 selling fee can be, I felt the brand needed a more fun and persuasive campaign banner on the landing page.

  • All Things Cockney
    All Things CockneyMy Final Major Project was inspired by my Dad's cockney roots. It consists of a series of limited edition screen and lino prints as well as a book project showcasing the print methodology and research. The dialect has a rich, niche history.

  • ISTD Pass : Maclean, MacVeagh, McVeigh
    ISTD Pass : Maclean, MacVeagh, McVeighI am proud to say I became a member of ISTD in 2020 after my project was awarded Pass. This book is essentially a personal investigation into my family and distant ancestors. With a rough knowledge of my surnames’ origin in Scotland as a clan, a combination of online archives and my nan’s incredible memory helped me to disover the McVeigh timeline. The book spans over 8 centuries starting in the West of Scotland and showcasing the journeys to rural Ireland and New York City in the early 20th Ce
  • The Year Princess Diana Died  and I was Born
    The Year Princess Diana Died and I was BornWith a strong interest in the 90’s and the nostalgia surrounding it, I investigated the 40 weeks I missed while my mum was pregnant with me. It is formatted as a visual diary containing daily events, personal memories my mum has of the months leading up to my birth and major headlines in the news such as Princess Diana’s death.
