About me
I am a creative and enthusiastic person, who is hard working and enjoys working as part of a team yet has the initiative to work independently. As a designer I have a good eye for colour, typography and detail. Since graduating I have completed internships at some of the leading branding and packaging agencies in London. This led me to secure my role as a designer at the organic children's clothing company Frugi. My position at Frugi has enabled me to develop as a designer moving from a marketing based graphic designer to a member of the product design team.
When I'm not designing for Frugi you can find me at the beach, in the sea, making jewellery, taking photographs, blogging, drinking tea, surfing, practising yoga... I like to do things!
Projects
- Flora - Foraged Food RestaurantAs a response to a brief set by the International Society of Typographic Designers, I created this seasonal publication and set of menus for a hypothetical restaurant that specialises in foraged food. I wanted the restaurant branding to reflect the beauty of nature yet have a contemporary feel. The aim of the publication is to inspire and educate people to cook with foraged food. I designed illustrations for the publication and sourced relevent photgraphs (credits listed on my website). The project was awarded a merit by the ISTD.
- Plastic Ocean Book SeriesI designed a series of three books looking at the problems surrounding plastic pollution in our oceans for a university project. The first issue 'Dumped at Sea' looks at the initial problems and how plastic pollution arose. The second issue 'Death by Plastic' looks at the more serious side affects to plastic and how it is affecting our ecosystems while the third is entitled 'Clean Seas' and looks at the solution and the future.
Work history
Designer
Frugi has given me the opportunity to see my designs go from pencil to garment, bringing my sketches to life. I initially joined the marketing team as a trade graphic designer which involved project management and design of global trade show stands and look books. I also designed other marketing materials such as e-newsletters, flyers, point of sale and catalogues.
In July 2012 I was promoted to the garment design team as a designer specialising in prints and characters for the clothing as well as the packaging, labelling, updating tech packs, commenting on strike offs and liaising with the factories.
