- Moments by Oliver BonasBased on a brief set by Oliver Bonas for the YCN, I created minimal luxurious candle packaging based around the historical use of candles and their contemporary usage. Focus is based on the use of candles in meditation and helping focus on work & study. Unwind is based on the use of candles as a means of helping relax after a stressful day, in creating a relaxing mood. Ritual is based on the historical use of candles because of the vulnerable light they emit as a symbol for life and thus its pur
- A Platform for JoyBased on an RSA brief, I took the opportunity to develop a new modern solution to the disorganised and inconsistent signage found in Britain's railway stations. Through a binder-based book akin to classic design manuals (e.g. DRU's British Rail Corporate Identity manual, Noorda+Vignelli's NYCTA Subway Signage manual & Danne and Blackburn's NASA manual) ideas are explored for a wayfinding system based on typographic clarity and structured around colour-coded organisation of platforms.

A series of 'Creative Prompt Cards' are a physical+digital product designed to help students bust out of a creative rut, with a series of creative exercises which they can undertake to get past block. Finally, several posters designed propose

- VOID: A magazine about nothing | ISTD 2020 entryVOID is a magazine, literally, about nothing. In response to the ISTD's significance of numbers brief to make numbers and mathematics engaging through typography, I chose to explore zero. Not just in a mathematical sense (i.e. the surprisingly detailed history of its origin as a symbol despite its seemingly straightforward simplicity) but in terms of cultural notions and scientific dilemnas. Throughout the piece, two typefaces (Garamond and Franklin Gothic) and two colours (black and white) rein
