About me
Hello! I’m a London based Graphic Designer/ Illustrator. I work across a wide range of media and my key areas of interest are editorial design, typography, illustration and branding design. From working with live clients to design websites for local businesses to being part of the design team producing a book for the ‘Descendants’ charity based in Ealing, I have developed a good understanding of the production process. I have used code to create generative patterns, and 3D and video to produce motion graphics. I’m proficient in adobe CC programs, and have experience of Cinema 4D and After Effects incorporating animation into my projects to bring them to life.
Projects
  • University Major Project- Mental health poster campaign "What's on your mind?"
    University Major Project- Mental health poster campaign "What's on your mind?"I designed and created these typographic-based, animated posters aimed at young people. They were made with the idea to encourage young people to talk to someone about their mental health as many young people find the idea of speaking about how they are feeling daunting. The posters include a hashtag 'whatsonyourmind?' which can be searched and link the individual seeking help to the 'Mind' charity's resource page which includes information about the next steps to take, counselling and phone num
  • Alchemical Collage Print Designs (Set of 4)
    Alchemical Collage Print Designs (Set of 4)These are a set of four collage prints I created based around the theme of Alchemy. I came about this theme by picking one of the words from the list of WGSN trend predictions, one of which happened to be the word ‘Alchemical’. I was drawn to the obscure and magical connotations that came along with the theme of alchemy such as chemical science, rituals, the medieval era and gold which I thought would be really interesting concepts to develop further. These are the final four prints I created th

  • Badges of Recognition
    Badges of RecognitionMyself and my creative collective Rule of Three, graduated at the worst time possible: smack, bang in the middle of the pandemic. In a time full of uncertainty, we decided upon making a set of badges with the sole objective to congratulate our fellow newly grads. The messages received after designing and posting these packages, to our peers and friends, was one of shared comfort, acknowledgement and admiration. This project aided the three of us to not to be defeated by the bleak time, we were

  • > More Than Just A Pretty Face
    > More Than Just A Pretty FaceFor our 2020 submission to D&AD's New Blood Festival, we selected Google and HMTC's brief. As three young female designers we were instantly drawn to this brief. As a collective we have used this brief, as an opportunity to voice our outrage against, the objectification of women, along with our passion for typography. The objective behind the campaign, More Than Just A Pretty Face, is for any female to feel they are being taken seriously, within whatever they choose to do. Women have more to o
