With its primary presence in Whole Foods, my aspiration was to revitalise its image, appealing to a younger demographic. My concept revolved around crafting an aspirational brand that pays homage to the carefree and relaxed lifestyle embrac

Whilst brainstorming ideas, I became inspired by the effect of natural light and shadows in our living spaces.

Simultaneously, I wanted to create a family-friendly feel and include a local warmth into the visual identity.

I conducted various research projects, which focused on finding potential venues for high profile events, such as the Milken Global Conference. I organised and attended a number of site visits around London. I also used Pinterest to brainstorm for an upcoming event at SuperReturn International, the world’s largest private equity and venture capital event. This was primarily to find luxury wristbands and perspex invitations. I also organised client’s expenses, quotes for comparisons, branding and artwork to be used for AGMs. Finally, I used research tools such as Crunchbase, Dow Jones Private, Venture Capital and Factiva when conducting research for the office.
