Hello, I'm Molly! A multidisciplinary designer with a passion for packaging and print design.
I embrace the entirety of the design process, not just problem solving but also problem finding. By demonstrating a process of curiosity to understand any challenge, I would say I am a versatile designer, who puts design thinking and empathy at the heart of all projects. My ability to think beyond a brief and strive for innovative responses allows me to embrace different media forms; in turn, producing solutions of relevance and purpose.
I love to collaborate with other designers and take pride in my ability to work in a team. I feel I offer an adaptable mindset, a critical eye, and a glass-half-full outlook within all situations.

- Re-Vision X Move beyond the socially constructedThe Re-Vision campaign aims to highlight the shifting ideologies and contradicting expectations women face in current society, through typographic elements, texture, and disorientation. Denoting a series of graphic statements responding to unattainable expectations, the final outcome confronts these contradictions and challenges perceptions. By exposing the visual and written content in layers, it emphasizes the sense of confusion and pressure.
