Projects
- Next & LipsyAs a freelance integrated designer at Next and Lipsy from 2019 to 2020, I enjoyed working in a range of design fields. The role required me to produce a high level of output for print and digital projects each day. I was responsible for designing and building responsive website content and emails using Sketch, HTML and CMS, creating animated stories for social media platforms, designing graphics and windows for events, retail stores and franchises. I was also involved in seasonal design mood boa
- ERIC Fest: StorytellingIn October 2019, I was invited by ERIC Festival to be a featured artist for their festival in collaboration with top publishers (Penguin Books , Hachette UK , and Pan Macmillan ) at Somerset House . Eric Festival is an organisation that helps propel young people into creative industries. I was very honoured to contribute by illustrating the front and back cover for the festival zine. This surreal artwork is a reflection of my young self, getting lost in the misty forest and the unknown future. T
- BouguessaIn 2019, I was approached by Bouguessa to create a package of digital marketing design templates, which included newsletters, website and social content assets. Bouguessa is a contemporary ready-to-wear label based in Dubai that aims to offer a minimalist wardrobe. Its elegant design detail has made its way onto various luxury online retail websites, including Net-a-Porter.
