About me
I have just completed my final year of studying BA Graphic Design at Arts University Bournemouth. I have experience in rebranding and promotional design work and have skills in both digital and analog techniques coming from a Fine Art background. My interests are multi-disciplinary design, visual identity, and design theory, with a focus on environmental design and wellbeing issues. I conducted my dissertation investigation into applying biomimicry in graphics for my dissertation topic.
Projects
  • Turf's Up
    Turf's UpFor my final major project of my degree I came up with a brief focussing on ocean health and more specifically seagrass regeneration in the UK. With current plans for a seaweed farm off the coast of polzeath presenting potential threats to their local wildlife, surfing and tourism. I decided to use this location for my Turf’s Up volunteer-led organisation sponsored by local brands and working with the community to bring seagrass numbers back up along the coast. Turf’s up could be a project used

    Penguin Cover design Awards EntryThis project is what I submitted for Penguin’s Cover Design Awards competition 2024, redesigning the cover of the amazing book Atomic Habits by James Clear. An added aspect to this project was creating a new marketing idea, where I chose to partner the book with the mindfulness app Headspace. This partnership includes a limited edition self check-in bookmark and in-store meditation takeovers.

    D&AD New Blood EntryThis project was my submission to the D&AD New Blood 2024 competition.

The chosen Unilever branch is UK’s Persil, and the target audience is young adults. Post-pandemic there was a huge spike in outdoor activities, which is my campaign idea’s focus: inspiring young adults to build resilience and get back outdoors with Persil as their trail bud

    Food ForestFood Forest is a design solution to a Royal Society of Art's competition brief called 'Made Natural'. It requires a nature based solution using trees to improve an environmental issue whilst also involving a community and thinking of long term sustainability. Food Forest is a roadside orchard network for urban areas, specifically low income-deprivation areas. Led by the local community, volunteers pick, pack and deliver regular boxes of fruit to local households to help cut food costs and promot
  • Cosmopolitan Yogurt
    Cosmopolitan YogurtThis design brief is called 'Reignite an old flame'. It requires a redesign of an old product, changing the packaging and making it relevant today. I chose Cosmopolitan's yogurt, which came out in 1999 and only lasted a year. In its new form, Cosmopolitan Yogurt is a women's probiotic promoting female gut and reproductive health. The design of the snack pouch is to look like a mini magazine and it has a QR code on the back to take you to the magazine's website for the latest news and gossip. The
  • All in One
