About me
I am an illustrator and designer based in Norwich, UK. I specialise in research, publishing and editorial practices. I use a blend of experimental digital and physical making processes to bring into question their relevance in terms of meaning and visual literalism within modern every day. I generate collage-like design pieces with juxtaposed maximalist qualities. I have a developed understanding of Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. I am also proficient in Microsoft formatting programs, social media management, website building and business skills. I am an extraverted person and I love growing my professional and personal relationships as demonstrated in the success of my collective events and publications. I am a proactive face and voice on my local art and music scenes and regularly attend events and exhibitions. I am seeking an internship to develop and gain new skills within the Visual Merchandising, Branding or Marketing sectors. Email: nufarului6@gmail.com

  • Barcelona Publication Portfolio
    Barcelona Publication PortfolioBarcelona’s Eixample, approved around 1859, is the work of engineer Ildefons Cerda. The city’s urban extensions are one of the most accurate representations of the nature of an industrial city. It is believed that it simply holds an outstanding design project which has been brilliantly executed. The quality of the district’s extension urban development project was an exceptional and unique take on social spaces to exist in contemporary urban planning that is cohesively introducing elements of in
  • Barcelona
    BarcelonaMy research began with my report that was based upon the question of how architectural space can effectively convey a sense of community and social cohesion among the inhabitants. Primarily, I focused on the city of Barcelona and how it’s Eixample district structure was built with the community in mind. This was the most important urban transformation in Barcelona. The main idea of Ildefons Cerda was to make urban social justice. I am exploring the design of humanitarian urbanism that would give
