Part of a small team we created the bulk of creative and branding work for the company. I have art directed shoots for catalogues, brand guides and designing web product narrative - which is still carried out by The Conran Shop to this day. My keen interest in photography and product look & feel meant I was involved from the second it was shot to how the item’s story was communicated on multiple platforms. Other day to day tasks included designing marketing and social media content, catalogues, website upkeep and redesign, styling and briefing photographers.

I started off as an intern but I was asked to stay on as a paid member of staff during my last year of university. I helped with artwork, branding, communication, layout, general marketing, editing images, compiling archives and completing technical drawings.

I worked on a project focusing on energy futures for festival “Lille 3000”, commissioned by EDF. The work at Loop.ph focuses on the environment and society; focusing on maths and science when combined with design As an intern I was expected to research the energy futures we were trying to showcase as well as take into consideration the company’s philosophy/direction.
