About me

Sophia is a freelance visual communicator based in London, where she has gained luxury and retail clients such as Selfridges, Financial Times, Atelier Swarovski, The Body Shop, Soho Theatre and Karen Millen. She studied at University of the Arts London (UAL) at London College of Communication (LCC) with an initial vision of fashion, and graduated from University of East London on scholarship for Academic Excellence, with a first class honours. During this time, she visually explored issues from human rights activism to anthropology and zoology/evolution. Whilst freelancing, she hopes to study an MA related to Sustainable Design and Social Innovation, and to continue developing here2aid (an interface design for those experiencing poverty and homelessness) as well as her UX/UI skills. Alongside her professional work, Sophia also creates her own illustrations and sells limited edition prints through her online shop and website, while working on humanitarian projects advocating for equality in humans as well as animal rights. She won the ‘Abbot Award in Technology’ (2011), the ‘Gridley Award in Art’ (2011) and was awarded a spot on the D&AD Impact Academy in NYC (2018) for being a D&AD Impact finalist for here2aid.
